"Prayer Changes Everything"

This last two months have been really hard on Brian and I. First, because of the economy, he was basically laid off from Office Depot as they simply didn't have enough work or pieces to be delivered. He has tried everything for 2 months to look for a new job, including warehouses, even becoming certified in driving a forklift, places for shipping and reciving like, Costco and even Sams Club and recently attended a job fair downtown where he put in over 25 resume's along with 2,000 other people. They say that we are one of the top city states for unemployement right now. He has put in for a job with the Plumbing and Pipe Fitters Union, the Army National Gaurd and even considered Border Control, where he would have to move to Texas for a year while I stayed behind to finish up school at UNLV. "No way", I told him. "You could get shot by the Mexican Mafia out there!" So, after much debate, waiting and worrying about bills and losing our house, which still may happen down the road in, say, six months or so, if we can't catch up, I was able to get a loan from school, which is what we are living on for the time being. SO...This week, three great things happened, 1. Brian decided he can become a taxi cab driver, has pased all the certification, testing and done the classes and should be able to start working by next week! Yeah! 2. Also, We, by chance, had the opportunity to attend and be introduced through a seminar on how to start an online business and so, Brian and I have become business partners and we are going downtown next week to have his independent contracting license modified and turned into a joint business license and then, we are going to start up a website selling baby items like, diaper bags, boppy pillows, accessories and even strollers, play pens and so forth. I am thinking of calling it BabyZen.com. 3. and finally, the most incredibly great news, Brian's parents found an ad in the newspaper and with Brian took Zoey in for a "showing" at a modeling and talent agency in town where she was immediately given a contract!! Can you believe it? My baby Zoey is going to be a little model moviestar! Brian's parents are going to pay the money for her photo shoot portfolio to get her started and the people at the agency say that if she were just to do one photo in a Walmart or Target Ad, even on the low end, they would pay her $400. Hello, college fund! I have been so busy with school and work lately and the idea of losing our house has been a deppressing priority on my mind but, Brian and I never lost hope, we never stopped paying our tithing, we stayed strong in our faith and we prayed for answers on how to help find work, how to make enough money to keep our house and how to stay together as a family throughout this economic crisis and I am here to tell you, we have recieved blessings for our faith.
