We have a awesome class for our 9th FPU class. When closing one of the participants asked if I would stick around and fully explain the ZBB to them as they where having issues. I said sure, no problem glad to help!
Well setting down with them (simi private area), they go on to ask about doing the Baby's Steps out of order, I gave one of my "canned" speech's about sticking to the steps, its important. And then they told me well its the step 1 we are concerned about and then I realized they are having financial difficulties, and where behind, just had one of their vehicles repoed this past week, and the DH was out of a job, but found a GOOD job and as he was going to his first day on the job this past week his boss was leaving with all his stuff in a box and said the company was shutting down. :yk:
I asked him what do you do? And he said he was a Mortgage broker and the mortgage company he was working for closed down and his new job he never made it to closed its doors as he was showing up for work. And he said all that your hearing that is going on in the mortgage world, well it is him and effecting them big time, and all I could say is wow, and I prayed with them. They just moved out of a $1200 a month apartment into a $975 a month home to lower their rent. The landlord let them move in for the deposit only so that already puts them behind on September rent, and discussing the repro was to emotional for his DW while we all where sitting there and she broke down in tears at the table................
I told them that as bad as things look now you guys have hope, put your trust in the Lord, which they are doing. And with the information from this class you guys will prevail! In fact they showed me their first budget and despite all that they are going through they still are giving 3% to their church, I know some of you think that is stupid, but I absolutely admire that, they are truly putting their faith in the Lord to help them through these rough times. The DW started a new job last week, DH is out of a job, obviously, and I asked him what work are you willing to take, he said ANYTHING! No more than 3 minutes after that, he found out our local Super Wal-Mart is hiring over 100 people for the fall season, and it so happens the Manager of that store, well She is a member of our church who has also gone through FPU a couple of years ago and is a leader in the Womens ministry at our Church, and she happen to over hear their situation and his need for immediate work. They needed immediate employment and behold it appears it is coming through, while not a career job, its is a job to put food on the table when it is needed the up most, NOW!
Its amazing how small miracles seam to come to past every single day, even in FPU.
