My dad lost his job almost 2 months ago and has yet to find a new one. However, God has been AMAZING during this difficult time! We couldn't afford to have our furnace checked for this winter and out of the blue, the man that normally checks our furnace did the complete inspection for free! We also had to cancel our order for firewood after my dad lost his job and yesterday (again out of the blue) the man who we buy our firewood from just stopped at our house with firewood for our family for the winter so we can heat our house!
You might think my family is completely losing it but please, bear with me with this next part. Last week while my mother was praying, God spoke to her and told her of a job opening for my dad with a very large ministry and that my dad needed to apply for the job now. My mom told my dad but they both didn't really do anything about it until last weekend. Everytime my mom was praying she would hear this voice and it would always tell her the same thing about this job. It would even wake her up in the middle of the night. So finally this weekend, my mom looked this particular ministry's job listings up and wouldn't you know, my dad's exact position and exact job description that he used to have before he lost his job was listed. (I have to point out that job opportunities for my dad's particular job are EXTREMELY rare and they don't just happen every day.) As my dad was praying about this on Sunday, he asked God, "I've never been in this kind of business, why would they hire me? What would I even be selling?" As soon as he said that, he heard the same voice and it said, "You'd be selling salvation."
I'm just asking for continued prayer for my dad and my family and that God continue to guide my family in the direction that he wants us to go. And also many many many thanks to God for his wonderful blessings and the amazing acts of friendship that have been bestowed on my family during this time.
