    Since ya’ll are such wonderful, G-dly woman I felt I could come to you for our family’s need for prayer.

    After two years of not working due to brain surgery due a spinal condition without approval for Soc. Sec. yet (in Ga. it takes from 3-7 years, my hearing is in Aug.) we can’t stay in our home anymore. My family has a home (my grandma’s home that she no longer occupies) that we can move into, payment free. That’s the good part, because it will allow my husband to properly heal (he had back surgery in march and started suffering from seizures last April), we’ll be within 20 min. of both of our families (really important b/c my MIL in dying of renal failure), and all of our gas expenses will be lessened. However, in order to move we need several thousand dollars due to needing to move and re-hookup my husband’s home business building (music studio-he’s an audio engineer), need of fencing (Insurance won’t cover my usband’s studio w/o it, it’s on a main road and we have two 7 yr. olds, two German Shepard’s and the area isn’t as safe as where we are now) and of course general moving expenses.

    We don’t have a hope unless our L-rd provides the money/people/supplies to move us; yet we truly believe we are doing the right thing by moving. We can’t continue to ask for financial help on a monthly basis if we have an opportunity to be in a home that lifts that burden. We just view that as the responsible thing to do and a way that G-d is meeting a need for us to move into the future.

    If you are convicted to pray for G-d to meet our financial need to make the move and provide wisdom on who to talk to and how to go about this (especially wisdom over my husband), please pray in agreement with me? He supplies all our needs according to His riches and glory in Messiah Yeshua. We have been reading about George Muller, who prayer life was amazing and faithful, which has been a faith buider for me.

    We have to be out by Aug. 4th. I am going to try to gain some sort of extension to give us more time to get all of these things arranged (please pray for His hand in thier decisions, too); but if He wants to show us what He can do with what we are facing, so be it.

    Thank you,

    Rachel

    I would like to add something. It seems like we have more than one option-both having their up and down sides. Our trouble is deciding which way G-d has for us to go. A new option is a home being offered to us for 1 year rent free w/an option to buy after that. They will pay for half the moving cost and it already has a fence and an out building for my husband’s music equipment. So our moving expenses come up to about half of what they would be going to my Ma Ma’s house. Sounds good, except it’s in Wis. away from everyone. Also, his Soc. Sec. will more than likely have to be started over again, though it’s approved up there in half the time. I won’t be able to end up there until after Aug. 7th (my hearing date). Also, my mom told me that my Ma Ma’s home needs the entire bathrm. redone-plumbing problems. however, the long term costs are more up there. No family. No doctor’s for our health issues. My husband’s SS has been put in for an emergency hearing here, so it could just be a matter of 2-3 mths. There’s music business up there, but not as good as here. The opportunities are greater for my husband getting back on his feet down here. So although up front there are less costs going to wis. the long term affects financially/emotional may not make the viable option. We just don’t know. Please pray.

    Thanks,

    Rachel

    We feel more confu

    I’m praying right now that God would give you peace and remind you that he has a plan for you… plans of hope and a future, and that you would be able to see the next step when He makes it ready.

    Rachel,

    I know all to well what its like to be in somewhat of agony over the decision to move, and where to move. You and your family will be in my prayers, that you’ll have peace when you make the right decision. Remember, confusion is not from God. He will light your way, He will guide your path…He will make yours paths straight. Perhaps He wants to show you just how mighty He is!

    Keep us informed so we can pray effectively.

    Prayers to you,

    Toni

    Thank you both for your prayers. It’s been a very rough week so far. My husband has grand mal seizures usually once every 7-10 days. well, he’s had on every day for the past 3 days and before that 3 in the former week. It’s different for a man, especially one w/a disabilities (seizures and spine). doesa any one else deal w/a spoue w/seizures? It’s very upsetting…

    Anyway, we definately are going to the family home. We’ve run into a snag in that the music stdio is too high for our moving co. We need (specifically my husband) needs G-d’s wisdom on what to do. We’re at the option of someone donating a building or business to our non-profit business (he does music lessons and such for foster and low-income children). This buiding has become such a source of trouble (and not just in this situation).

    I have been praying heartily and specifically and I beleive we are to leave the building behind and store the equipment and rebuild as the money is available. He is okay with that except that he has a contract w/someone already and would have refund their money; money we don’t have.

    Again I ask for your diligance to pray for us in this situation. For my husband to receive peace and direction (even if he doesn’t like it!) on the matter of the studio.

    Thank you,

    Rachel

    I’ve had experience with petite mal seizures, Rachel, and those are unsettling enough. I can’t imagine how traumatic recurring grand mal seizures would be . . . Praying for you, dear!
