I never realized just how much just how much God answers prayers.  My husband and I have been looking for jobs for a few weeks with no luck.  Night before last we finally prayed about it.  Yesterday we both got jobs at the same place which is a really good thing because we only have one car right now.  Our DCS caseworker called yesterday and he is trying to get us more visitation with the kids!  Needless to say we're very happy about that.  The funniest thing is, the harder we try to do right by God and everyone else, the harder my mother tries to pick a fight and down us.  Please keep her in your prayers.  I pray that God will soften her heart.  She has custody of our kids right now.  That makes it really difficult to rebuild a relationship with her.  I know that God can and does work miracles so maybe he has another one waiting for that situation.  My husband and I are ready to do things the way God wants us to. 

I never in my wildest dreams imagined God would work so hard for someone as simple as I am.  My husband and I had a meeting with our DCS case worker today.  Pete, the case worker, is trying to arrange a visitation with me, my husband, and my oldest son that he can sit in on to see what is actually going on.  The last we heard my husband wasn't allowed to see my oldest son indefinitely.  Pete also told us he is going to try and work it out so that we have more time with our other two children.  Pete then told us that we can go to narcotics anonymous meetings for our A&D counseling.  This is a very good thing because now we can both find good jobs.  I can possibly go back to my last job where I made very good money.  With the Grace of God we can both find decent jobs and hopefully a place of our own sooner than we first thought.  I truly thank God for our problems.  My husband and I worked at VBS this evening at our church.  That is the first time either one of us has really been involved with a church event like that.  I was shocked at how many kids from the neighborhood came by and talked to us.  It almost seemed like they wouldn't talk to anyone but us.  We feel like God is calling us to work with these kids.  They are the rejects of society.  They are poor, calloused kids who have no direction in their life.  Maybe because of the road my husband and I have been down lately we can help these kids.  We felt as though we truly connected with several of them tonight.  Please keep us in your prayers as we try to organize a youth outreach through the church.  It's going to be difficult because most people look at these kids like there is no hope for them.  My husband and I know otherwise.  We realize that we may not be able to help them all but if we can even help one that will make all our efforts worthwhile.  Praise God for the wonderful things he has done in our lives!!!

well, we went to court today.  God was definitely working for us.  My husband and I did not go to jail today.  we still have supervised visitation of the kids until our next court date.  We go back on 8-8-07.  Hopefully we can get the kids back then.  The bad part of today is that my husband still can't see my oldest son.  (he's from my first marriage) the judge in juvenile court refused to even touch the case as far as my son was concerned because there is a case in chancery court over him.  please keep us in your prayers.  my son called me this afternoon and asked why i was lying on him again.  i almost cried as i told him that i didn't lie on him.  he then informed me that i had slapped him in the face the last time i saw him.  i have witnesses and that never happened.  we had a great visit.  please pray for my son and my exhusband.  my ex husband is convincing my son to lie about me and my husband.  God will get us through this somehow.

my husband and I started Bible study tonight with our best friend steph4him.  it seemed like everything we looked at was written just for us.  thank God for loving us enough to send his son for us.  we really want to walk a closer walk with Him.  i think we're well on our way.

This has been a really hard month for me and my husband.  God put us flat on our backs so we would finally turn back to him for guidance.  We lost our kids, our house, and our truck all in one day.  We're slowly learning to thank God for our problems.  There are blessings in disguise through the entire situation.  Please keep us in your prayers.  Thanks!!
