One week back in Pa......

So we have been in Pa for a week now. Well around midnight tonight will be one week sense we arrived at my parents. LOL. We have been trying to start "living" again. I sorta naively thought once we got here the "journey" would be over. I mean once Gene heard God and stepped out in faith it would all just be. Haha, if only it worked that way. So we are currently staying here at my parents. We are praying that God will open the doors for us to get a place of our own. We have found a foreclosure in Reading. A single with a 2 car garage. Just reduced to $24,000 plus about $10,000 in repairs. So for about $30,000 we could have a home :) So weird to be in a place where we can no longer just apply for a mortgage. Last time we were home shopping we were told we could buy a home over $200,000 and now here we are ! Amazing how fast life can change on ya. Some nights I want to cry in despair but Gene then reminds me of all God's promises. He will be faithful to us. We just need to keep trusting in him. The other night as I laid in bed crying and repeating the words over and over "It's just not fair" . Gene sat there gently rubbing my back whispering word of comfort from the Bible. It made me think how far we have come in things that truly matter. All of this is totally worth it to see my husband become the spiritual leader I have praying for ten years for him to become. I want to thank all of you who have stood behind us in prayers over the last year ( and years ). Without the prayers of those who truly care we might have not made it ! I know that God has good things in store for us. While it may not always look to the world we are blessed God has been faithful and will continue to do so. I am so thankful to God for you my friends, my extended family and my son and husband. I ask that you continue to pray for us as we continue the journey ( I guess it really never ends, does it ? ). My husband feels the Lord has shown him things that we must continue to stand firm on even if some do not understand. Pray that we have courage to stand firm on God's truths and wisdom in knowing how to handle situations that arise. Also that we may continue to have God's love for those in our lives who continue down an unhealthy path.
