Thankfulness Day 139:: Living with the Rents

Have you ever lived with your parents while you're married?  How about with kids too?

In the beginning it seemed easy to say I live with my parents because it had only been a month or so and I knew Huzz would land a job and we would be on our way.  Right?

But now after 15 months, well it's embarrassing. I don't want to tell people as easily as I did before.  I find that my faith was unshakable for a long while so nothing could question my trust in the Lord.  However the past couple of months have done their number and I'm now on wobbly ground.

I don't know how I got here but it doesn't feel good and I want my Faith back!  Living with my parents is a blessing and can also be very hard.  So I'm praying for answers, I'm praying for increased endurance to get through this time, and I'm praying that I will see God's hand in all of this.

Until then, my name is Cheri and I live with the Rents.

Today I am thankful that I have family who will take us in.

Thankfulness Day 121:: Condo or not to Condo that is the question

Okay peeps I need some prayer here!  We relocated from Illinois to California in April 09.  We have been living with my parents ever since just awaiting a job for my husband.  Well he has a temp job now and we are really getting cramped up here!  We want a place of our own so bad!!! 

How will we afford a 3 bedroom?  (room for boys, hubby and I, and future baby/craft/business room)  Sure I could just rent a cheap 1 bedroom and be squished but I don't want to move anymore!  We have been in 5 places in 6 years!  This next move needs to be more permanent.  But we don't even feel permanent. 

So we started to look at places and of course I fell in love with a certain condo.  It's just so perfect.  Do we move out on faith that God will provide that extra money.  Do we stay put until everything lines up perfectly?  I'm such a planner but I really need guidance here.

Also we sold every piece of furniture we had last year and have been living on that money.  How will we get furniture for this place.

Okay so you can sense my worry, excitement, and overall confusion.

Thanks for your prayers!

Today I am thankful for the possibility of moving out.
