            despite the difficult circumstances, this was ultimately the best thing
            for the family, especially for the kids—because it would strengthen
            their faith and build their confidence for the future. Keith often told
            his father that God had a better plan for him, assuring him that the
            family would be restored quickly when it was time for him to step

            allowing him to work while staying close to his children.

                   Unfortunately, Keith hadn’t set aside any savings and
            wasn’t prepared to make a large property purchase, especially with
            the business struggling to pay its lease on time and his low credit
