Timing

Anyone who knows me, knows my current situation. Joe is in Ely working and I have been staying with my parents while Zachary finishes school. We are supposed to be joining Joe in Ely sometime in mid to late June.

Last night we got an e-mail from another mine that Joe had applied to a while back, asking him to come for an interview on Monday. This mine is in Kingman, AZ.

There are a few problems with this. First of all, this is Joes first week off in 2 months, and he is supposed to drive home today. Katie especially, but all of us, can not wait another second to see him. We miss him like crazy. The second problem is that with gas prices being what they are, it would cost a fortune to get there and back and again, if you know us at all, we are BROKE!!!!!

The thing is, that I have learned with Joe, that it's always a good idea to take risks. Most of the time for us, when we do, they turn out to be better than what we had before. We are also having such a hard time finding a place to live in Ely, and chances are good that when we get there, we could all end up living in a hotel room together.

When I got this e-mail last night I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. There are so many things that would be better about living in Kingman. It's closer to my family and to major cities. It has ALWAYS been Joes dream to live near the river. And it doesn't snow there. I hate snow. But honestly, we need him to come home now for a visit, not be in Kingman on an interview. And I just don't know how we can pull off the cost to get him there. Sometimes it feels like God is just messing with us! I just told God, if you want Joe to go to this interview, then you have to figure out how to get him there, because I've got nothing! And if He does want Joe to go, then I know He will get him there.

If you are reading this, please PRAY! Thanks.
