Prayer Request

Hi there,
I've spent my whole day looking at rentals and talking with our friends in Redding. I won't have time to complete our study today, so you can take a break for the day and I'll catch up tomorrow. I put the following in a message to my intercessor friends on Facebook today and would love you to pray for us, too. This is good news, but there are a few issues that need to be resolved before we can go for it:

Eric got a job offer today in Redding! We have carefully researched all the areas we've been considering, particularly the job markets/rental markets in them, and we've weighed them against our baseline expenses to discern how much we can say yes to.

Redding has the lowest horticulture wages of all the areas we've considered, and that bears out in the offer he received today. However, there are many things about the Redding area that cannot be valued in terms of economics. The offer he got today sounds great aside from the wage being a tad lower than our "bottom line" wage. Also, there would be the added expense of getting Eric down there for an interview in the next couple of weeks, which they really are pressing for.

We need wisdom, clarity of direction, and peace about this offer. The woman he spoke with (Ellen) is checking with the owner to see how high he would be willing to pay Eric after a probationary period. We're hoping for at least $10/hour, preferably $10.50 OR $11. According to Ellen that is a tall order, but she said, "nothing is impossible." If we can find a rental place for less than our forecasted amounts, that will take the burden off of me a bit.

I welcome your prayers and any words you receive in your prayers.





I also wanted to make sure you read my comments on your post from yesterday. I made several comments and a prayer at the end and didn't want you to miss those. Love you, Angela
