Fast Foward.

OK my life has speed up a bit since the last time I blogged. I must admit that when I originally began this blog journey I expected to update my blog everyday as you can see that didn't happen. Since my last entry my husband and I celebrated or first anniversary and treated ourselves to a trip to Vegas. My second time flying and although I was a nervous wreck it was worth it; we had a great time! Just prior to our trip my husband was laid off and I tell you this because this common situation is something that now effects millions of families in the United States due to the recession. Although, I stressed as we leaned on our savings I continued to pray that God would get us both through this and considering we had a savings I knew God had prepared us for this battle. Through the fights, disagreements, tears, and fears God lead us through. I watched my husband beat the streets to interview for jobs that he would later be rejected from. Although I pressed his bottoms in essence to motivate him to continue in the struggle and art of job hunting my husband began to keep his focus on God. Which he then counseled me to do the same and not allow evil thoughts and words destroy what God has in store for us. March ran into April, April ran into May, May ran into June and our lease was up; not sure on what to do we pondered on if we should move on and move out and downsize. The reality of the situation was obvious Reliant rates drove our light bills so high that we began to turn our hot water heater off to save on cost. We learned to read meters together and we learned to take chances together. We soon decided to move right after God lead my husband to a location that was better for us and energy efficient at a great price. At times my thoughts would turn ugly being angered at the situation that at times seemed to be a glimpse of light at the end of a dark tunnel unfortunately I could only see the darkness that shadowed it. One day after a heated argument my husband my husband continued to tell me I to have faith and as he walked out the door he went to the local Texaco claiming to go beer. He came back with a newspaper and to my surprise he landed three interviews the following week. The upcoming weeks lead me to my thoughts and my feelings for today 8/7/09 the first day after finding out I would soon be in a club I official coined the "offshore wives club were all we can do is pray".
