Urgent Prayer Requests

Hey everyone,
Sorry for the severe lack of updates as of late, but to be honest, not a lot has happened, until s few weeks ago. For the most part, we've been working and helping at church on Sundays.

Our Pastor preached about having a church full of traders asking us all what we'd give up for our faith. To this point, we felt like we'd given a lot, but while we willingly gave 90% there is still 10% we have been holding back.
Where we live now, we live 40 minutes outside of Portage, making it nearly impossible to help with youth group without leaving the dog all day or making the commute 6-7 days a week. Housing is hard to come by outside of staff housing (staff housing are apartments provided by the tribe for people to live in while working on the reservation), and doesn't allow pets. Many of you have met our darling pup and know how much we adore him and that giving him up would hurt (and to a lesser extent with the cat), but after hearing Pastor Jake's message we came to the point where we would be comfortable with it if it had to be done (assuming we could find a good home for both animals). The apartment in staff housing would be a smaller place, less rent, but not very permanent. When we decided to have kids, we may possibly have to move, change jobs, or maybe both. It would also be hard to host youth events and have kids over, which we figure would help them the most.
A short time after, we learned of a house opening up. This house is owned by a member of the Grand Portage tribe, but he rents it out while living out of state. We could keep the pets, have a big yard, host youth events, but it costs about as much (maybe a little more) as what we are paying now, and the house needs a lot of TLC. Living there would be optimal, but as of late our budget has been extremely tight due to visits home, car maintenance, ect. and we don't want to move only to realize we are in over our heads and have to move again.
We really need prayer at this time for wisdom and guidance with the whole situation. Or perhaps a winning lottery ticket to pay our student loans. = ) We thank you and we love you for all your support.
