The World of Unemployment

We have been in Winter Springs for a little over a week and I am still faithfully and diligently on the hunt for employment. I know I am not alone in this search as many are without employment. This move to Florida is a huge leap of faith as we are trusting the Lord to provide for us financially, so that Roy can attend seminary. We knew the sacrifices we'd be making before we made the move, but we also know that the rewards are far greater. Already, we can see the Lord moving in our hearts as he is drawing us closer to Him. We love the church that we go to, City Church, in downtown Orlando which is a fairly new church plant. We love the area we live in and are making friends, which is a huge blessing. Again, we are trusting the Lord to provide a job for me and with that being said, I am asking for your prayers. I am doing all that I know to do to obtain a job, but it is most difficult when I live in a place where I have little to no connections and I don't know anyone! :( The Lord is really teaching me to rely on His perfect plan, to trust that He who has called us to seminary will provide for us. Roy told me a quote a few days ago that I believe is incredibly fitting for this time in our lives "Our security is not based on what is in our pocket, but who is in our heart." We believe that! There is nothing greater than knowing Jesus, even if it brings difficulties and trials, which His Word promises it will. Please pray that we will be changed as the Lord brings us through trials to bring us to Himself.
