F-R-O-G (Fully Relying On God)

Well here we are. At the place where we always say we are, but are never truly there until he places us smack dab in the middle of it. We are floating on that lily pad of His, sitting like a small family of Frogs (Fully - Relying - On - God).

My memory isn't usually great, but for SOME reason, I keep playing this one comment, that I made to Danny just last week, over and over in my head; "I want to live like a mission family. I want to fix simple meals and live a really simple life." REALLY???? Did I really say that? Ok, I'll admit it. I did say those exact words. My deepest desire is to be a mission family. I don't feel called to move out of this country, but I do feel called to serve our community and surrounding areas. I guess Danny loosing his job is just the preparation we needed to understand what F-R-O-G really means! My spirits are high, although I hit some low moments. My duty is to build my husband up and make sure that he stays away from the depressed mode as much as possible. I'm also in charge of running our home and following his lead in money matters. I'm working with him on cutting back and making a plan for the (NOW) and the future. Although our relationship was pretty good, we seem to be drawing closer together. The loss of a job and money can often send couples into a raging war, but for us, that's not the case. Our Sacrament of Matrimony is kicking into high gear and we are receiving the graces from it to keep us afloat.

When we get back onto dry ground, my goal is to help others in need. There are so many people out there just wanting someone to talk to, a hot meal, a pair of shoes etc... I hope to extend our hands to those people. We are receiving so much support from family and friends and it is truly humbling. God is always faithful.

Happy those concerned for the

lowly and poor;

when misfortune strikes,

the Lord delivers them.

Psalm 41; 2

May God bless all of you!
