The title of this blog comes from what a lady at church said today-and I couldn't agree more! Ever since Jason and I got married, we have been doing paperwork for this,paperwork for that, and MORE paperwork-all trying to finally get me a work permit! It has been a huge pain in the rear! There was this hurdle, then another one, then another one! It felt like it was never going to happen. On Friday, I had what you would call a breakdown(I'm good at those, just ask my Mom and Dad!) I suppose-although it could very well have been due to the crazy hormones going on with pregnancy now! But, Jason and I were just trying to figure out what we were going to do. We have a baby on the way, and we want to be able to provide. But right now we were getting so stressed that I am not going to get a job in time before the baby comes! We have been so blessed to have been able to get a 2 bedroom apartment that is really nice and is SO close to Jason's work! We have been blessed with so many things-but sometimes those are hard to recognize when what you want NOW-is not here NOW! We couldn't do this any longer on our own. We had been doing everything that we have always been told to do! Why weren't we getting what we really NEEDED! So, on Friday night before we went to bed, we got on our knees. And we prayed. It was then that we really turned our situation over to the Lord. There was nothing else we could do. A feeling of comfort like nothing that I have ever felt came over me. I knew that it was all going to be okay-and it would all work out. So, the next day(yesterday) when I got up-I just kept telling myself that in the Lord's time our prayer would be answered. (It's a little thing called patience-which I don't have a TON of). So then we went to Mom and Dad LeLaCheur's house for the Halloween Trunk or Treat, and when we got there, there was none else-than and envelope with my name on it sitting on their countertop. I was so hesitant to open it-scared that it wasn't what I was hoping-but...it was my WORK PERMIT! That took less than 24 hours for our prayer to be answered! Jason and I were literally jumping up and down!! I felt so humbled. All we had to do was just put a little more faith into it-and our prayer was answered. Sometimes I think each of us feel abandoned or alone-like our Heavenly Father has forgotten about us. This was a HUGE reminder that He definitely has not forgotten. In fact, if we will only look to him-he is waiting for us to ask for help. He wants to help us! He wants us to be happy! I think this is a perfect reminder as we start out into this new season-Christmas! It helps me to remember the reason for the season.
So, for Halloween yesterday-I dressed up as Prego Sauce-for 2 reasons-I love spaghetti, and I'm PREGO! haha I am so lame sometimes! haha. Anyways he
re are a few pictures from the day! Note Mom and Dad LeLaCheur's costumes-they are SO funny!
