i would appreciate some prayers...

hey guys, as you know i have moved to NY, and i am really having a hard time finding a job... its getting quite frustrating, both to me and to Danita... i covet your prayers that God would show me where He wants to use me, and give us the patience required to find that position..

thanks!!!

Do you have a set of tools? Can you open a home-based small engine repair shop?

I am considering that option... downside is all my tools? sitting back in chicago...along with most all of the rest of my stuff... we dont even have a table and chairs for our kitchen (we are using a folding patio table and folding chairs from walmart) I have a beautiful clawfoot table and reupholstered 100+yr old marshall fields country french dining room chairs back in chicago...

bare minimum would be 1200mi worth of gas (round trip) and a uhaul trailer one way, to the tune of about $500 for the 6x12 trailer that may even be too small...

Have you investigated getting a trucking company to haul it? If they can use your stuff to fill a trailer, it might be economical.

I agree with weldangrind. I wish you the best at your new home. Focus on getting your tools and then do a home base small engine shop. I did this. Made alot of money and had many many happy customers. Did you say you moved to ny? Im from sayville Long island.
Now live in pensacola florida.

Keep at it! Never give up, have faith and something will happen. Persistance, stacked with prayers, is your best ally.
