Losing The Chains

I was going to save this picture until I was actually employed again but I'm gonna step out in faith and post it now.  Lately the theme for us has been to not just have the chains that are holding us back loosened, but to lose them entirely.  I don't know of a single Bible story where someone had their chains loosened but still dragged them around.  When they were loosened, they fell completely off.  And that is what we need.  We have received blessing after blessing from our church family and friends but we aren't really even staying even now - we are getting behind in some bills.  We need a major breakthrough.  God has really spoken to us about being patient, not taking matters into our own hands, and that relief and restoration are coming soon.  We are so thankful for what we have and how people, some we know, some anonymous, are helping us out during this time.  Songs and messages and personal words of encouragement are all adding up and pointing to a happy ending.  Can't happen soon enough...

Meanwhile, we are thankful for what we have and know that things could be worse.  A&E both have jobs and are pitching in to help with things.  We take full advantage of Elliott's employee discount!  They both left this morning for camp - as counselors this year.  Very proud that they are re-investing back into that program.

Maybe my next blog post will be about how we were set back on a high place.  Could happen any minute!
