Things with Matt’s company are going well. I have found a little business for him. It translates to $250 a month for us. But, that brought me to yet another crisis with unemployment. I cannot work more than 32 hours, and one of the questions that they ask is whether you work for straight commission (or something like that). I told Laura that it seems crazy that I am trying to do what I can, and I have all these constraints. God is on me to work hard. Yet, I cannot work more than 32 hours. What is up with this?
I told her that I was absolutely going to keep selling and that I plan on reporting it. Whatever happens, happens. For now, I will continue to work less than 32 hours. I am going to maintain unity because getting off of unemployment freaks her out. But, there are not a lot of jobs out there. I get more rejections every day.
I really want to love Laura through this. And, I want to be obedient to God. And, I must hold my integrity. She wants a house and a nice place to call home. She hates ATL, and I join her in that I would like to live somewhere else. I dont know what’s going on with Arnie and Kevin, but I believe that the LORD is probably working on all the parties involved and will bring things home when right.
This is difficult. When you try to do the right thing, it can be oh so difficult.
Love never fails.
