I'm a 49 year old father of 8 kids, 6 grown and an 8 year old girl,and 2 year old boy. 5.5 years ago my wife at the time and I were deep in addiction and alcoholism. We were losing every thing including our sanity, but worst of all, our daughter . When we did lose her I fell deeper for a week, my wife even deeper. Then, one night, after I couldn't be in that situation anymore, I went for a walk and stopped in front of a place with a coffee pot. I knew that place was and I needed it worse than alcohol. That was sobriety.
Fast forward to now, I'm 5.5 years sober my now ex wife is 3 years sober, we're best friends, and the best part we have our daughter.
After the first year I met someone, my soulmate. We were together 2.5 years when we found out that we were going to have a baby.
Throughout all this , I was struggling with employment. Finally last year I had found a decent job. Not enough for a family of 5 but I still strive .
Well recently I've was offered a high paying job in South Dakota. We have found a place but are struggling to collect the funds to make this opportunity happen.
Here's the difficulty, to get into a place, we'd need at the least $10k to make it work for 3 months. I only bring in so much bc I pay child support and bills.
I know it's a far chance but I also know the lord will provide if I believe.
