Finally back home!!!

Finally back home!!!! 

After I finished school up in Spokane, Jason and I decided that it would be best to head back home to Idaho Falls. There was nothing holding us in Spokane and we had no family or support. So we packed our bags and headed home! 
We were finally able to find a place and got all settled in. I even had a job lined up. It seemed as though all our tough times were finally coming to an end. But...c'mon now, this is the Moore family we're talking about, tough times are in our blood! 
Needless to say, the job didn't end up working out. They waited until my first day to tell me how much they were going to pay me and that they couldn't provide benefits for Jason or the girls. There was a TON of traveling involved and they wanted me to commit to three years (they claimed that if I quit before my 3 years, I would have to pay back all the money invested in me for training)...I just couldn't do it. I am the only one able to work and I needed something that I could support our family of 4 on. I absolutely HATED turning down work, but this particular job just wasn't for me.
So...here we are; 2 weeks home, no job, absolutely NO income, trying to get Jason healed from his foot surgery, stressing each day, applying to anything that I'm remotely qualified for and having faith that all will work out. I can't describe the feeling that comes over me each day. I cry, I plead, I beg...can't something finally go right for a change? But then I'm reminded that the trials that we are facing are but a stepping stone in this journey called life. I'm reminded on a daily basis that things could always be worse. And it's because of this understanding that I push through each day. 
..."Yet even in our deepest sorrows we can find our way back to joy when we're grateful for the things we have. The bitter taste of sorrow is what makes genuine joy so sweet." I'm grateful for my girls and their sweetness that makes each day worth while. I'm grateful that my husband is still beside me, fighting each day. I'm grateful for a faith and understanding that although I may not know what path to take, He understands what's best for me. And as long as I keep that faith, it will all work out in the end. He never said it would be easy...He only said it would be worth it. <3
