I'll try to make this short. We are going through some tough times. We found out 4 days ago that some hunters will probably be renting the home we are in currently- starting the middle of July. That means we must move to the trailer home on the ranch. A couple nights ago we started to haul totes over there when I noticed it has the same moldy smell as our former home. After further investigation I found the wall board to be sagging and after I tapped it with my shoe it fell in to reveal a wall cavity full of mold. There is another moldy area by the back door as well. I have no idea if it is toxic but at this point I don't care because I immediately started to feel sick.
From where we have been with Daraby, being ill, I have no desire to even tempt her getting sick again. Andrew and I know that we cannnot move there. That means we will most likely be homeless in a few weeks. This is devastating for us. I thought we already hit the low point. As a mother I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. We have a strong faith that the Lord will lead us in the direction we must go. This has been a huge learning process. It has changed our life in so many way and for the better. It wasn't a mistake that we moved here and experienced this moldy situation. I know that sounds crazy but it is true because the Lord directs our path.
We've learned to put our trust in the Lord and not in ourselves or other poeple. It isn't our goal in life to please people anymore but to follow where the Lord leads and to obey Him. It is amazing at what we have been through. I couldn't have trekked down this road without His strength. We've have to be strong and resilent. We have a child that depends on us to stand up to any challenges and do the right thing. Please pray for doors to open and for us to recognize the right doors to go through.
I love these verses-
Romans 5:3-5
And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character and character hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured our his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who he has given us.
2 Corinthians 1:8-11
We do not want you to uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will contine to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

amen lady. We will be praying.
We are praying for you guys! Call me to talk, I'm always here! Thanks for sharing the verses too. Our sermon at church today was about sufferings, so the Roman's verse was very fitting while we read your blog and reflected back to the sermon we had just heard, pretty amazing. Hope to talk soon.
