Jehovah Jireh

As I said in my bio I am definitely a "work in progress" as far as allowing God to be in control and am finding it very hard to deal with the fact that events are happening in our lives which we cannot control.   
My husband has been in and out of work for around 18 months.  He works as a contractor and in the past went from contract to contract with no difficulty but these days the contracts are few and far between.  Last year he finished one contract at the end of October and didn't get any work again until February.  This year he has worked for around 4 months on and off.  His last contract should have been for 6 weeks (the shortest ever) but he and the team he was working with were just too efficient and they got the work done in 4 weeks.  Since then he hasn't worked and when he doesn't work he doesn't get paid.   We have been trying to find work but during these recessionary times it is just impossible.  My husband has proved his willingness to go wherever the work is, he travels all over the country, staying in bed and breakfast hotels or whatever accommodation he can get just so that he can earn something, of course a great deal of it has to go on his accommodation costs.  Usually he comes home at weekends for some family time but the last contract was in Plymouth which meant he was unable to come home as it was just too far. 
We don't get social security and because when he was made redundant he took contracting work rather than making a claim on our mortgage protection insurance, it appears that our insurance is now invalid and they won't pay out. All our savings are gone, our overdraft is maxed out and we have no source of income.   At a time like this we have great anxieties about or future, we have only two years left on our mortgage and to lose our home at this time would be a nightmare, it is heartbreaking to be unable to meet our financial commitments and to provide for our children.  We don't know what is going to happen but we are sure that our Heavenly Father, who loves us more than we can know even to the point of giving His own beloved Son for us, knows what we need and will provide for us.  Last week our son came home from school with the soles of his shoes separating from the uppers and we just didn't know what to do or how we were going to buy new shoes for him.  The next morning we got a call from someone who wanted to give us a gift to help out.  When we saw him we thanked him and said how grateful we were to be able to buy some shoes for our son, the next thing we knew the gift had been increased to cover the purchase of shoes.  We just give thanks to God our Father for His loving concern.  In my last posting I shared two passages of Scripture which God was impressing on my heart, and this week I have had two people who don't know of the existence of this blog have texted me to share exactly those passages.  I think God is trying to tell me something!  I firmly believe that God provides for our needs but sometimes He takes us very close to the wire.  For me that wire is a line of trust, I have to believe that He will continue to provide for us despite all that seems to point to the opposite.  I often think, and sometimes say to my husband, "it will be interesting to see how God gets us out of this one"  Sometimes the trusting is so hard to do and I confess to feeling very down at times as our situation seems so hopeless, but one thing I know with absolute certainty is that however this situation turns out, I would rather go through it with God than without Him.
