As we move quickly towards Christmas, Vivian and I have recommitted ourselves to a deeper prayer life. Our experiences the last two and a half months have brought us to an absolutely daily reliance on Christ. Sometimes, literally, we weren’t certain where the money would come for the week’s groceries.
We are learning to lean on Christ on a whole new level.
This week’s presents –
On Tuesday, UPS called and hired me for extra Christmas help. This is temporary but will keep us fed through the month. I’ve been warned I would lose 10 pounds in the two and a half weeks. That’s OK, though. I have already lost 12 and that would get me 5 pounds BELOW my target.
On Wednesday, I spoke with the area director for Liberty Tax Service and we are discussing a management position for January and February.
On Thursday, Amber completed the application process for college and will register for classes on Saturday. She is excited, and a bit nervous, about her new phase in life.
On Friday, Ted Payne and I are connecting with a couple of retail contacts to discuss our HVAC ventures. It appears that we are close to closing the first of what could turn into significant and large contracts. We hope to be positioned for 2010’s hot weather.
Finally, we appear to have a contract on our house. We are praying that we don’t have to make a January mortgage payment.
To all of you who pray daily for us, “THANK YOU!!!” Please continue to pray that the items above actually come to fruition.
For those that support us monthly, “THANK YOU!!!” You don’t know how you have blessed us. Literally, there have been days your gift has brought us to tears and to our knees.
Merry Christmas to you all!
Paul
