Experiment of Faith

I began my 'Having Faith' experiment about a month ago.  I haven't done any real estate during this time.  My idea was that if I loved the kids and focused on them, then God would bless my husband with more income.  Well, every time I make a huge effort to just be the best mom I can be, I get overwhelmed and cry out for Curtis to help me.  So, the last month, Curtis has been doing all he can to help me, cleaning the house, mudding holes in the walls, doing yard work, cleaning out the garage, planting gardens, staying up really late with toddlers who took late naps and don't want to go to bed, etc.  So, of course, he has not been successful at getting a 2nd job yet, and both of us have settled into a depression.  We've been missing mortgage payments since January or February.

Today I went to an LDS temple alone.  I received great inspiration.  1) That Jesus Christ has saved our souls from an eternal hell, so we should be beaming happy!  2) Being depressed is not seeing all the beautiful flowers God has blessed me with, it's complaining that I don't have enough flowers!  3) I haven't shown enough faith for the miracle to happen yet.  I must have faith that with God I can do ALL things, even take care of 6 kids without any help from my husband. 4) I need to use my creative talents in helping my children understand how their actions hurt or benefit themselves.How dull and depressed I was in those other posts.  I want to be upbeat and positive now.  And just so you know, I stopped worrying about the money, and Curtis get a better job position!  I put my children first, and we were blessed!  Curtis still works for the post office, but he switched from being a carrier altogether.  He is now a mail handler working graves, indoors away from the dogs and the extreme weather conditions! He is getting twice as many hours, which is the main reason he switched. 
Between that and getting our loan modified, we are able to stay in our home and enjoy the school, teachers, neighbors and peers that we love so much!  Our interest rate was dropped to 3.75! 

So, if you keep pluggin along, doing the things that you know you're supposed to do, then everthing will work together for your good.  God loves us so much!  He's been wanting to bless us with such blessings for 3 years now, but we were keeping ourselves from the blessings.
