Housing, Office, & Support

Exciting update on our Habitat for Humanity Veterans Support Project application! I spent more than an hour on the phone this morning with the local Family Services representative, & the Neighborhood Manager made an appointment to come tomorrow with the managing contractor to evaluate what sub-contractors need to be assigned to tackle our numerous repairs.

I got to tell Pat's & my love story & his miraculous new life with the FS supervisor, & discovered she's also a completely devoted Middle Earth fan. We talked about eucatastrophe, mercy & pity, & "a far green shore."

She also encouraged me that they will work with us on the financial standards & documentation "square hole" to help fit our "round peg" situation. I'm very, very encouraged, & even more eager to see God provide the financial continuity standard they need demonstrated.

Will he provide it through our many brothers & sisters in Christ who have encouraged, supported, & prayed for us these past months or in some way I don't anticipate?

Please prayerfully consider donating to our "home & ministry rescue fund." And above all, pray for God's will, God's way, God's timing.

September will be here this weekend, & we have a great unexpected opportunity along with our needed gap-supply of $1500. Our local Habitat for Humanity has approached us to provide some much needed & expensive repairs to our home through their Veterans Support Program, but we have to demonstrate a certain level of financial stability to qualify. They quite rightly want to be sure that their "investment" in stabilizing our living situation is not going to be "flipped."

You can imagine their skepticism at our demonstrated monthly income (Pat's retirement SS of $1500) & our demonstrated monthly expenses ($3500). Please pray about God's provision of a short-term sum of $15,000 to provide that stability. If the Lord leads, you can gift us here through Go Fund Me, or message me about other options.

Just as the Lord provided Pat's brain medication in a way I never expected or planned for, this Veterans Support Program seems to be the Lord's provision for plumbing repairs, fence & window replacement, leaking sky light repair, & other repairs we cannot afford. Will you pray for us & gift as the Lord leads?

Here's a picture of Pat at the gym last week. His trainer added a weighted pole to his squats on balls platform to aid in recovering the balance disrupted by his brain injury.

A great update blessing! My last post asked for prayer for God's provision for Pat's new, very expensive brain medication. Last Friday I picked up his prescription & didn't pay the $550 retail, or $530 offered, but through God's own way, I paid $3.60! Isn't the Lord good?

We still have pressing financial obligations, so if the Lord leads you, your gifts are much appreciated.
