I've been begging prayers so much lately. I hope I can call on you all again. I just got off the phone with my husband, Brian. His contract has been rescinded effective this Saturday. Just like that, we've lost our main means of financial support.

I'm praying for the strength to get through this and that our magazine will be able to generate enough subscriptions to support us now. That's going to take some doing, but I know that if it is His will, it will happen.

Thanks, ladies!

Blessings,

Thank you all so much. Brian just called again to say that 9 others had their contracts cut as well. Please keep them in your prayers. I'm not certain what caused all this, and it may be some time yet before we know. This was handled rather badly, with no warning, and no proper notice. In fact, this same contract was just extended in the last week or so.

I got an email from a friend this afternoon who has suggested praying the 30 day novena to St. Joseph. It will make a beautiful family prayer time over the next month as we wade through the transition.

Thank you all so much for your prayers, I can feel my spirits begin to lift as a result.

I am so sorry, Nissa! What a shock!

I will join you in praying the novena. Saint Joseph has been wonderful to is over the years, esp through that novena!
