Disappointments - HIs appointments

Today was a disappointing day. Don did not get the Kenworth job he had hoped for. There are no jobs in sight as of today. I cannot tell you the feeling of having no job,no home, and no church yet. It is scary to say the least. We are trying to understand the will of the Lord and not panic. The comforting thing is knowing how many people are praying for us. That is so wonderful. So I am learning to try to not only not look back, but not look too far ahead. Funny isn't it. That is so hard for us humans.

On the positive side we have spent alot of time cruising Blacksburg. Our hearts are so full as we watch the students. This is a huge college. So much to harvest oh Lord, please help us! There doesn't seem to be alot of churches. Mostly older ones, but hard to say as it is hard to find your way around. You can definitely get lost very easily here. Every road goes up and down and around and around. I love the downtown area. We walked it tonight and prayed for the city and the college. The weather is cold and a bit of a wind so we didn't last long in our California wear. All our thing are in a storage unit and I can't get at some of our clothes. Burrrrr!

We hope to meet with a couple from Lynchburg this week. They attended a Calvary Chapel there. We are seeing interest and hope that it will continue. We aren't sure when we will begin. We are talking about praying first. We also hope to attend Calvary Roanoke or Lynchburg this week and see what those churches are like.

One fun thing is here in Radford where we are staying with Don's brother there are all these hay bales, scarecrows, and pumpkins on the traffic islands on the road. I can't believe no on takes them or destroys them. So different from California.

Thank you all for your continued prayers. It has been a tough day. I am praying I will wake up tomorrow and trust Him because He is always faithful. Even when I am not.
