Grateful

I think I got tired of writing posts about the same things all the time, but I guess I need to write an update.

Lee & I were speaking this morning about trying to be more positive. It's a bit harder right now so I'm going to try to come up w/ 5 things every day to be grateful for. I think I'll list mine for today:
1. I am so very grateful for my husband, Lee. He's been so supportive in the last several weeks. Every day I find myself loving him even more. I am so glad that we are together & can support each other. It's so much easier to go through trials w/ him by my side.
2. I am grateful for the family & friends that we have. We have felt such support & love from them. Just knowing they are praying for us gives me strength. I want all of you to know I pray for you, too.
3. I am grateful for the jobs we do have. Between us right now we have just over 40 hours/week. That's more than so many others in the world; & even more than some of my own family members. It could be worse.
4. I am thankful for the home that we have (still really love the apartment), the heat in this cold time of year, & the food we have. I'm even grateful that we live in a town w/ free transit to get around town since we don't have money for gas. Besides, right now I don't have a lot else to do w/ my time, lol.
5. And I am so very grateful for my Father in Heaven & brother Jesus. I know that even though He hasn't yet answered my prayers for a new job, He has answered so many others right now that are keeping us going.

There's not much else to say today other than a quick job update. I have now applied for over 30 jobs w/ no answer to most of them. I am not being selective of what jobs I apply for, & looking all over the Valley & even over the mountain into Box Elder County. I guess there are just too many other people looking for work, as well.
