What has been really hard for me, is the changes that I can't do much about. Thank heaven for prayer, or I just might feel useless in our struggles! LOL :D) I can pray! That's one thing I can do! :) I just keep trying to find the lesson (or lessons) in it all! :D) My motto these days? Keep on keepin' on! :)Raneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933089494009597880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114268012127427235.post-60245042833046987312010-07-23T13:32:44.620-07:002010-07-23T13:32:44.620-07:00Thanks for your thoughts, Celeste. You are right. ...Thanks for your thoughts, Celeste. You are right. While I believe many challenges are similar, each one has its own feel that is unlike any other. My heart goes out to your husband.

After my husband was laid...I completely understand. After my husband was laid-off we spiraled down, down, down...hitting rock bottom with loosing our home, selling off a lot of our belongings to pay the rent, and me working at odd things here and there while trying to hang on to homeschooling. It was hard to loose so many things that we worked so hard to achieve...career advancement, a home, some savings, a 401k plan, etc. <br /><br />The word "stressful" just doesn't seem to encompass what it is like.<br /><br />Many are in the same boat. For us, we had to move in order to START getting on our feet again. My dear husband took a job working 70 hours a week that he hates just to keep us somewhat afloat. I'm thankful that he found something...even though we keep praying for better.<br /><br />You are in my prayers. It is painful, but somehow I guess we'll make it through.Celeste B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07356778436738411892noreply@blogger.com
