And we will be in Hawaii once again. I've spent all weekend reading, praying, listening for some kind of assurance to our future. My heart says "do not be afraid, do not worry. God takes care of the birds, won't he take better care of you?" but my head says "$1,575 plus deposit? NO WAY" at least not now. There have been so many other times in my life when we had no idea where the money would come from but it came. And I know how badly my hubby wants to go back to Hawaii. Maybe you know how we feel... like you're connected with the land, the people, with God so much that with every breath it's like you are breathing Him in? And Rick is struggling at work, seems like no matter what he does, it's not good enough. Ever been there? He's a night manager and he and his guys get the short end of everything... when everyone was told to be out of the store by closing on Thanksgiving eve... he didn't get home till almost 2am and he was told by the manager of the store "YOU can't go home until the work is all done (he left at closing)" AND this Christmas the HR department has planned their first Christmas party for the store.... BUT.... Rick and his group will NOT be able to attend because they will be the only ones working during the time the party is going on. And maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they got a premium for working extra during these times, but they don't!!!! He worked for the same company in Hawaii, and when things like this happened EVERYONE participated. Most times, people took turns so everyone could enjoy. NOT HERE!!! That's why hubby wants to leave so badly. I don't blame him at all. It's nothing for him to work a 12 - 14 hour day (NO over time, he's salary) and he watches as others on his level go home within their 8 hour work time. I feel so bad for him.

A Week From Now...
And we will be in Hawaii once again. I've spent all weekend reading, praying, listening for some kind of assurance to our future. My heart says "do not be afraid, do not worry. God takes care of the birds, won't he take better care of you?" but my head says "$1,575 plus deposit? NO WAY" at least not now. There have been so many other times in my life when we had no idea where the money would come from but it came. And I know how badly my hubby wants to go back to Hawaii. Maybe you know how we feel... like you're connected with the land, the people, with God so much that with every breath it's like you are breathing Him in?
