Lamentations
Today Deb and I recieved terrible news. The home we have been excited about buying is now out of our reach. The couple that was to buy our home cannot afford the mortgage due to the woman losing her job.
I feel sorry forthem also. This was to be there first home. Losing a job has got to be devastating as well.
So the domino effect starts. We had to let the realtors know that our offer has to be cancelled also. We are both pretty bewildered, shocked, and frankly I'm a little pissed off. I can't help but wonder why this happened. Everything was coming together so nicely. I was praising the big guy for his wonderful blessings. I still praise him but I shake my fist at him at the same time.
So what does this all mean? Like Deb said tonight "this was a pretty big door that slammed shut". I have been so excited about the opportunity to serve in Benton Harbor. I have been getting to know the area and where I will be working. There is much work to be done and I was gearing up to get busy when we moved there.
We have some real processing to do here.
This just sucks on so many different levels. The first person that gets super spiritual and says some corny Christian saying wil probably get an ear full. I think I need to stay far away from most of those types right now. I'd rather go hang out with guys from the mission right now.
I know I'm rambling.
I'm willing to do what he wants I just wish he'd make up my mind!

Job was wrecked by circumstance in many ways. None of which where brought on by himself. Through the whole thing he stayed true and never turned his back on God. Even though his wife and friends told him to curse God.
God does allow Job to question him. (Just be prepared for the answer)
Keep staying strong, your friends are praying for you (not telling you to curse God)I wish we had an answer for you. Yours is a true story of devotion and dedication to God. I feel safe in saying that many people would have given up by now.(even some that would do this as a paid position)Yet you are willing to give up so much to go serve God and show the people in Benton Harbor who Jesus is through your actions. I believe God knows this and where your heart is and you will truly be blessed.
DON'T GIVE UP!!!!
