Need a refresher about what the Elijah Prayer Project is? Or maybe a reminder of the (rules?)
My poor husband is struggling in his job. Not because he doesn’t like it, or because he wants to quit or doesn’t get along with his co-workers. But because his employer is short almost 600 employees right now! What does that mean for the McGlothlin Home for Boys?
Crazy…terrible…frustrating…disappointing hours for daddy. Crazy…terrible…frustrating…disappointing moods for mommy.
I’m supposed to go to a National Conference next weekend that I’ve wanted to attend for seven years. Hubby was supposed to go with me (can you say much-needed time away together??) and now he can’t get off of work.
Frustration!!
It’s really not his fault. But when he told me he couldn’t go I was bitterly disappointed. Wept.
Poor guy.
We’re in a season of choosing thankfulness. Even though his hours are crazy and he never seems to be able to get off when we need him to, HE HAS A JOB! And in this time of economic uncertainty, we realize that this is a gift from God. People around us are losing their jobs right and left. We might not make as much money as we’d like to, but his job seems fairly secure right now. And for that I am choosing to be thankful.
So today, I am choosing to pray James 1:12 for my sweetie.
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.”
And I’m asking that you might join me in praying that we will continue to choose thankfulness and take advantage of the time the Lord DOES give us.
Are you in a season of choosing thankfulness? Share how you’re coping.
Blessings friends. Please join me in today’s Elijah Prayer Project. And if you share a similar heart as me, or just need a place to go everyday for encouragement and laughs, subscribe and never miss a post.
OH! And please go visit Z Couple again today to read Part 2 of my interview with this precious couple.
