A Dim light

Another week-- another place to stay--- another chance to learn more about His faithfulness.
The week in Slidell was not wasted, but we found no work-- again. It blows my mind that there are so many jobs out there and NO ONE will hire us! I even put in application to be receptionist at a doggie daycare! lol
So, this morning, Todd went to work again with that guy that owns a lawn care service. It is helpful at least, and we are thankful. He loaded the car for me before he left, and I checked out by 10. I sat in the car a moment and prayed. I didn't have a clue really where to go, but more towards the CITY. WHY do we both feel pulled going TOWARDS it and not AWAY from it?? It can only be God because we both would run the other way! I mean, for heaven's sake- we want to be on a sailboat!
I feel so small in that little car in that big city! If you have been there and crossed over all those huge, tall bridges... you know. God has really been gracious to that pitiful little car! I drove over the bridge that goes straight down into the city, and I always think of being in a u- haul with my dad as we were moving to the seminary when I was 14. I had some good years here, but I never -- in a MILLION years thought I would be back!
I drove to the seminary and asked them about a room. They did have a room that they would rent to us for a month- only $500; however, it was just a room! Seriously-- I need a kitchen! I need to cook! I need some eggs! lol
So, there is one extended stay in the area, back a few exits but still close enough in. God had provided for another week! (thank you Lord) It does have a kitchen! And I do have to say... this bed is AMAZING!
I looked at Todd as we drove back here after work, and I said, "baby, here we go again." We do not know why we can't find work in certain places, but we are trusting that He has a plan and we will find work TOMORROW! We do not want to be a burden to family or friends. We both are willing to do whatever it takes to do what we need to do to make it. As far the merchant marine jobs, I think it will take some time. It is probably who you know, but he would truly benefit from some of the classes that they talk about, and of course they cost money. We will be persistent and it will pay off eventually.
I seem to get more frustrated than Todd does about God's timing! You would think I would learn, but sometimes still I get nervous at the LAST second. Todd told me to title  it "magnificent timing." He is faithful.
There is a reason the Bible says, " Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path." As much as I wish I could see a little further down the path, He is only giving us a little light from a very dim flashlight!
