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

You know I check this every day! I am glad to see you post, even if it is of your fears. Those are just as real as the good times!!

We to are in the same predicament. Jeremy isn't working either. Things are starting to get down to the wire for us also.
But you are right. We serve an amazing God. His plan is not to harm us, but to prosper us.

You are in my thoughts and prayers!!
