Prayed for you c1ners and BigDaddy!
Right now, DH and I are pretty good, but we are SOO anxious for our own place. The verse you posted in the OP Faith really hit me.
I don't remember to pray, and DH doesn't remember to initiate prayer time with me. He's been working more consistently, but he needs his car fixed before we can look for an apartment. And there are some major essentials we need before we can move. (Like a bed, and a couch, towels...) I'm grateful that my parents are open to letting us live here with very cheap rent, but sometimes...I ache for privacy.
And, to add to the stress, DH just informed me that he won't be going into the electrical program. He was dragging his feet about it, and last time he did that he missed the application deadline, so I asked him about it and he said he didn't want to do that anymore. Now, I'm normally entirely trusting of his decisions, but I
HATE last minute changes like this, especially on something so crucial. He wants to keep painting, and I understand why. (Sorry for the long post Faith...) The electrical apprenticeship is three years. To get that schooling for free, you have to work at least three years after the apprenticeship is finished. My degree is only gonna be another three years long, and then I can start working. He doesn't want to hold off on his education for yet another three years after that, so he's decided to start his own painting/refinishing/sheet rocking business.
I understand his point, and he's researched this a lot so it's not just an on the whim decision, but he doesn't communicate that stuff to me and the idea of our plans changing this late in the game is freaking me out. There's a possibility(though not a big one) that this could go completely sideways and sink under and leave us broke....but there's also a possibility that this could bring in a massive raise for him in pay too, which would mean we REALLY could afford our own place as early as Christmas.
I just need prayer to 1) remember to actually pray about these things and 2) to trust that God is in control, and that my husband knows what he's doing.
We also don't have a home church right now, which is....weighing in on me spiritually. I've never not believed in God, but the last church we were at treated us REALLY horribly, and I lost one of my best friends, and I've been so lonely...and really struggling with my faith. DH doesn't even really know the extent of it. So, I'd appreciate prayer there too.
