He applied for job after job but the Lord wasn't opening any doors.<br /><br />We lived off of severance, unemployment and then our savings (plus the blessings of our church and friends). The Lord provided for us in a mighty way and we didn't go hungry, we didn't lose our home and we didn't even need any state help.<br /><br />God will open doors like you won't believe (or maybe you will, lol!) and He will lead, guide and provide for you. He won't ever fail you. I look forward to hearing what exciting things He has in store for you and your precious family!

But I like to go along and enjoy the sun and water and the beauty of God's world. It's so peaceful. I just wanted to stop by after reading your comment, and thank you for visiting. I know my comment on Lynette's blog was very lengthy! :) I love her and agreed with her great post, as you could see!<br /><br />Thanks for this lovely post. I enjoyed my visit!<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br />Kelly GerkenKelly @ Sufficient Grace Ministrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182310611088290551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-26589531689976103752009-04-25T21:45:00.000-05:002009-04-25T21:45:00.000-05:00Thanks for the beautiful analogy. One of my favor...Thanks for the beautiful analogy. One of my favorite stories is when Peter and the crew have been fishing all night without one fish. Jesus tells them to throw the net on the other side. Fish GALORE! His timing, His work, the end of our day or rope, not depending on our expertise, His Glory! I know He is ahead of you in the journey.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your heart. Thanks for reading my blog. :)<br /><br />SusanSusanhttp://happycooking4u.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-72072894857735871312009-04-25T15:08:00.000-05:002009-04-25T15:08:00.000-05:00I'm so blessed by reading your words.

Like you said he is preparing things just below the surface and our job is to throw in the reel and reap the blessings.
