Pray for us

No pictures this time- I'm soo slow at getting to this as it is- Ther are days I don't feel inspired to share my daily life or personal life on the internet at all. I guess I just don't know what to say- I read so many friend's blogs and they are so eloquently written.

Anyway, down to business.......... Business is exactly the point!
Pray with me as I pray for God's clear direction for our family. Bryan is still NOT working. He has been off for 4 months now. He will have 2 months left of unemployment, but our insurance will lapse by April 1st. We didn't plan on him being out of work for soo long- and it has been a REAL struggle for us. Financially, mentally, emotionally- I think you get the point. My husband is usually my rock and the one who reassures me that we've been thru tough times before and we can make it- but I'm not doing a very good job at reassuring him. It doesn't seem to be enough to praise his great efforts here @ home and w/ Jake b/c that still doesn't pay the bills I can't seem to cover. He's supposed to be the provider- in his mind and he hasn't been and doesn't look like he'll be returning to work anytime soon. Which is depressing- we worry about everything.
I know Julie- my dedicated reader............ I am giving this to the greatest God who has a plan and purpose for this- I'm just trying to be patient and listen and wait for that clear answer as to a direction to take.

As to the direction to take- Bryan has been contemplating going back to driving over the road. When he was married before he drove a semi for a few years to make money and pay bills. When he quit that he went into what he has been doing for the past 10 years.......... Sprinkler work... He is a union sprinkler fitter- he installs fire supression systems........... Well up until Thanksgiving weekend 2008!
Anyway, I shudder at the thought of him not being home and missing out on Jake's & Elizabeth's lives. Plus, what will that do for our marriage? I am not really worried about any problems, I just say that to get my thoughts out - I have been trying to not share my deepest worries w/ Bryan b/c they sometimes only compound what he is feeling.
I just wanted to get this off my chest- it's been building for a while now- and I just ask that you pray for us- and pray that something will come to pass soon. A career change decision, a job opening doing what he did before, something- Please!

I'll try not to go mia for soo long next time
