Prayers Please

It sure has been a long time since I have written in here. I am sorry about that, but boy do I have a lot to share with you. For starters we could really use your prayers. All though I know there is a lot of you that might be in the same boat. Please be aware that we are praying for you too. Last Monday, Kevin was informed that his place of business is closing after 49 years. Kevin is a jeweler at Hopman's. After Kevin left work that day he was calling other jewelry places and we printed out his resume. He had an interview at Jared's on Tuesday the 11th. Then a bench test there on the 17th and the 18th (that is a long story). He has also talked with Gogi from Gogi's Fine Jewelry. She is going to meet up with him tomorrow and they are going to talk about possibly hiring him. I know she really wants him to work for her and he wants that too. So please pray that is what God wants too. Then as you know we are planning on going to Africa in February. This is still a go so far. I really feel that this is what God wants us to do. I don't see God taking this away from us. I know that is probably bad to say, but this is just me talking and thinking. When Kevin told me about his job, Africa was not even what crossed my mind, because I new this is what we are suppose to do. I still believe that. We have gone to some meetings regarding our trip and each time we have done this, we get more excited. There is still so much we have to do and getting the funds to go as well. I have been looking for a second job to work part time to help out with the trip and other finances. Oh I don't know if I mentioned that I am now working 4 days a week since the 6th of October as well. So another reason to get a part time job. Need to fill the void. We are not sure how long I will be working the 4 days, but we pray not for long. Times are so tough right now and I am scared. I have also put my trust in God and I know we are all going to be all right. So as of now in a nut shell this is what has been going on. I hope to get on here more often and fill you in on what is going on. I will have to tell you about our meeting as well. Right now I have some work staring at me. I will fill you in more later.
