I hate posting sad things. I always try to remain up-beat. As many of you know, Brian's contract was terminated in November. Since then, he has been able to pick up spits and spots of work, but it hasn't come anywhere close to what he normally makes. It came at a very bad time. We are going to have to scrap printing of the winter issue of our magazine and try to get what we have online instead. The funds we had set aside for that have to be used for living.
It's beginning to look like God has a major change on tap for us. It is becoming clear that our publishing business is going to have to somehow become our main support. I have finally finished the Home Management Book for 2008 and I am praying that it will raise enough for our immediate needs.
I know that this is causing a lot of strain for Brian at the moment, but his faith is so strong. The kids can feel the tension and it's beginning to show in their behaviour. They aren't as patient with each other as they normally are. I know that all this will pass, but if you could help to pray us through this patch, I know that we'll be alright.
Blessings

Thank you all so much!
When it rains, it pours. Brian just phoned from the church (where two of the kids were to be at a practice) and told me that the brakes on the bus are shot. I'm so grateful that they made it safely there. So now we'll be needing repairs to the bus - possibly a new one. The running board and a door handle have come off, one of the windows is leaking, and the AC doesn't work (thank goodness we don't need it right now). 
Lord, give me strength!

Praying with empathy. I borrowed a truck from a friend so I could do my errands and not risk my dying ball joint (it sounds hideous when I turn), and the truck's battery has died in my driveway.
I'll definitely be praying for you!
