If God brings you to it...

I try to live my life by one saying in particular.  "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it".  I guess at this point I'm just waiting for Him to bring me through it all.  Sometimes I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and other times, it's like I'm walking through a black as night hallway, with no end in sight.

I guess it all started in March of last year.  My husband, was laid off from his job.  The entire time his employer that he had been extremely loyal to for 15 years, fought his unemployment for 6 months. Somehow, we made it. I have no idea how we did it, i guess by the grace of God.  At that time I had a job...and that's all that it was, a J.O.B.  I was a housekeeper at a hotel, WOOHOO!  Great job!  All kidding aside, i really did like it.  For someone that HATES cleaning, I did really like it.  I liked how it kept me busy all day long, there was no down time what so ever.  In July, I got a call from a friend saying that she needed a manager for one of her payday loan offices.  I jumped at the chance!  I loved it!  I was helping people, my husband was working non stop out of town...which i secretly loved, what could be better?  :)  Then came November...my husband lost his very well paying job.  I really thought, oh my gosh, we are in huge trouble. How are we going to do this?  2 kids, and one job that doesn't really pay as well as what his did.  Somehow we made it...i still have no idea how though.  It really was perfect, I was working and he was staying at home with the kids.  I loved it, they loved it, and more importantly, he loved it!  We started working on opening his own business, his own hardwood flooring business.  Elite Wood Flooring.  The only thing is we are doing it without any money...kind of hard to do that sometimes.  Fast forward to today...I have now lost my job, and he is still unemployed.  YAY ME!  Now we have to figure out how to raise these 2 crazy kids on 2 unemployment "salaries".

So I'm guessing this is Him "bringing me to it".  So I'm going to take this "plan" of His, and run with it.  I'm going to stay at home with the kids, and the hubs too, I guess.  We'll, well I guess I really mean I, will get this house into shape, cleaning and organizing it.  Try to make it through the days, the long unending days, without yelling or screaming at anybody.  Make it through the mountains of laundry, poopy diapers, dogs and littles that pee EVERYWHERE, and the not listening, and the whining that goes on FOREVER, until He "brings me through it".  I am a fighter and a survivor, and I will get through this, maybe not unscathed, but stronger in the end.
