Been getting some calls from the SBA today. This is the "loan branch" of FEMA. We've been denied for a rebuilding loan due to the debt to income ratio (we just built 4 years ago), but they will be able to offer us a business loan once we get the house fixed and get back in. So, if we can come up with the money to fix our house and get back in, and if we can get a new stream of income, we can have a loan to fix our house. Wow... you don't think ... sorry, forgot this was the government. Makes me want to get a paper route just to say, "Okay, we have a new income stream!!"
Anyway, very thankful that God's got our back. Friends from church and work have sent us quite a bit of help, as well as a church in Harlan adopting us! FEMA did send us about $16,000, and friends have sent about $10,000, so we have had enough to get out some deposits to get work started. God is good and will not let us down. I know he has something to teach us here, but it's not always easy to see. It's usually in the quiet that I can hear Him speak, and He is Good. All the time.
