Spent and drained

This is the mood in our home on this sunny, cool day.
We were hopeful Dan would get one of the jobs that opened up at his Armory, but no such luck. This is Dan's second year actively searching for a career or a job with the Army and with every turn-down, the hope drifts further and further away in our hearts. We are still thankful he actually HAS a job and that it is just enough (some weeks) to get us by. We are thankful for many things we have in our lives and for our families. There is just this knot in my throat that cant just go away. The fact that this job opportunity is not at our grasp is one more hope that has been thrown away. Our hope to live comfortably enough to start a savings account. Our hope to work up instead of feeling like we are on this treadmill. Our hope to move on and buy that house we have been looking at is a little further today.
We are a faithful family, I swear... its just times like this where we need prayer because its times like this where faith is hard to hold onto.

Thank you for your prayers.
