All things work to the good for those who serve God

I thought this title really said a lot. I am sorry I have not written sooner, things tend to get very busy around here. But Our Lord has been busy in my families lives as always. As many of you know When I lost my job my husband's brother moved in to help us out so we did not loose our house. The plan was going to be getting a new job and he would live with us until we got back on our feet 6mth or so. Now 2 years later he is going to move out but God knew all about that too. After I go a job I worked there nine months and got laided off. Now out of work again we felt very blessed that he had not moved out yet. I began to really seek God about my job and where he wonted me to work and the type of job I wonted. It took a lot of faith on my part to be patient and wait on God to open the door for the Job I had been praying for. I always have a lot of faith In Gods ability to answer my prayers but, I am not a patient person at all. I know God knows what is best for us and it was a hard trial for my husband and I. I was out of work for 6 weeks. But God really answered all our prayers and I got the job I really wonted. When they called me to come down for an interview I had to pass a test first. I have trouble taking test, so I really had to pray. I have dyslexia witch means I have trouble comprehending things when I read them and I see things back words (was is saw) (p's are b's) so I was worried if I would be able to pass the tests. When I got there I signed in and then one of the brothren's children showed up and it really meant a lot to me because I knew God had caused it to happen. Even though I was nervous I felt at peace because I was not alone anymore. We both passed the test but God had another Job for my friend. Thank you Lord for sending him on that day. My job deals with computers and I have to know a lot about credit and lending laws. Every time I would think I could not do my job that it was to hard the Lord would remind me that I prayed for this job and he gave it to me. And what that meant to me is that if God gave me my job he would give me the skill and knowledge to be able to do my job. And he has so much so that I got really puffed up with my pride. I thought that I was the one that was good at my job. I started to having trouble at my job. So I began to pray for humility and God helped me to find that spirit of thankfulness and understand that God was the one who helped me to be good at my job and when I started to give him the Glory for my job and all that I was able to do he started to bless my job again. It has been such a sweet trial because I have trouble releasing all things to God and being patient to wait on Gods will in my life. From the begaining of getting this job to, today working at my job God has been really working with me to have that patients and fully relly on him in all things. And the sweetest thing of all is the things the Lord has been teaching me are things I was praying to get better at.

The other thing the Lord did for us was I got our house payment for this month and it had gone up in price by over $80.00 dollars and next month is was suppose to go up even more over $100.00 more. Now we have a fixed morgage so the increase was our home owners carrier. I called an agency I had worked with in the passed to see if they could help us and called my morgage company to see what could be done and they told me if I changed carriers they would recalculate out my house payment for this month and I could pay the smaller amount. Kacey and I really prayed about it and when I got all the paperwork done. My new house payment for this month was $1.50 more than our house payment for all of last year and next month my house payment would go down by $30.00 dollars next month. This is such a blessing sence JJ my husbands brother will be moving out soon.
