Trust and Obey

Our financial struggle has been a six year journey for our family, one that challenges us both emotionally and spiritually. 

When my husband first lost his job, we were two months away from having our fifth child. It was a very scary time. So many uncertainties and questions. 

Bringing another child into our home without an income was very scary. I expected this to be VERY temporary. And when I say temporary, I mean like, by the time the baby actually gets here, surely this will be over and everything will be back to normal.

“Normal” to me really meant “comfortable.” You know, where you have the money to pay the bills, eat out and go to the grocery store without worry. At first, my prayers were pretty much “let's make a deal”—I told God what He needed to do to fix this and I’d promise something in return. I learned quickly that I needed to trust He already knew what I needed and it looked nothing like what I expected. This is one of the hardest seasons of my life, but here is what I know:

1. God is using this trial to shine the light on my pride. Ugh, that is hard to admit.

2. God is faithful.

3. God never wastes our suffering. He is equipping me through this trial to love all people no matter where they come from or where they have been!

I am so grateful He loves me too much to leave me where I am. He loves you, too. He is a mighty God who can do mighty things. I’m so thankful He has chosen me to walk this hard road or I would have missed his miraculous blessings!

In Him,

Rhonda
