problem solving

well, i’ve began picking myself back up after a very disappointing couple months. unsure of what the future holds i do find myself grateful to still be in reno.

i have to tell you its been hard to be motivated to do anything. i just mustered up the strength yesterday to unpack. i finally got tired of the constant reminder the boxes were of our move to pittsburgh and all that we were looking forward to there. wrestling between knowing God has something better and the expectations that we created in our hopes for our move across country.

so now we wait... again.

during this 8 month process my heart was stirred in a couple different ways, but mainly to plug into a community and just be.

i know i can do that anywhere and when i think about it i totally prefer to do it in reno where i already am apart of an amazing community, but the struggle is the resources that were offered in pittsburgh that i don’t see here in reno. housing, health insurance, and getting to play music for a job. all in one.

as a husband its been hard because for the first time i thought i was going to be able to provide a place where natalie could nest and make her own. i thought i was going to have amazing health coverage for the entire family, i thought i was going to plug into a community and just be. and to top it off i thought for the first time in my life i was going to have security. not having to stress each month to pay our bills.

i do realize living a life of faith is what we are called to but the stress of not knowing how each bill gets paid, well i was looking forward to not having that stress.

i know God will provide He always has. obviously He is trying to instill in me character, perseverance, and faith, but its been tough. your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

things to pray for:
the ability to have our own place someday in the near future.
the ability to afford health insurance.
the ability to get out of debt and save so that we can leave a legacy to our kids kids.
to sum all that up pray for God to bless us with WISDOM.

thanks for loving us.

sincerely
