I meant to post happy news here a while ago, but couldn't remember if I did this already. Anyway ...

I wanted to thank you, ladies, for your prayers, and to offer thanks and praise to our Lord.

As you may remember, my family was on the verge of being in the streets just a few weeks ago. My DH was laid off in May, and he was just not able to find work. I found some part-time work, which I thought was the answer to prayer, but it barely paid bills. We were having a horrible, almost unbearable time. Plus, I'm pregnant, so we were just almost crushed by our circumstances, but turned to the Lord almost unceasingly with our prayers and weeping.

God is so good! He knows how much one can take ... and He graciously answered the prayers of our heart. I found a job doing what I love (editing) from home. It's a full-time job with benefits, but it's a telecommuting position, and I choose my own hours. It's a little unconventional but it is working beautifully.

Last week, for the first time in ages, we were able to pay bills and get groceries, which is something we've not been able to do in a long time (not both at the same time).

I thank the Lord and all ya'll for your prayers.

And for other ladies struggling through hardship, please, please, please know that prayers are being sent. I think of you and pray for you all most fervently. The Lord will answer in His time. Keep the faith, my sisters ...
