Lately.

These past couple months have been stressful because we are still living at home while Dean tries to find work. It isn't the most ideal situation for a married couple, especially while getting ready for a baby, but "He's not finished with me yet."

I know that God is still with us through this "storm" and that He has a plan. Even though I can't stand this and I wish I could see what He is doing, I must wait patiently. I have to constantly remind myself that this isn't permanent. Dean will get a job, we'll move out, and start our family. This isn't going to happen when I want it to or when Dean wants it to. It's going to happen when God allows it. I've been through all kinds of emotions (especially being pregnant). It is extremely hard for me to "get ready" for our son while still living with our families. It really takes a toll on me when we have to go back and forth from my parent's house and his parent's house. Especially because I'm pregnant and extremely uncomfortable anyways. Our bedroom barely holds all of our stuff, but atleast we have one. I'm extremely thankful that we are living here....for free! That is what I have to remind myself when I start to dwell on how it should be. I know that God is trying to teach us (mostly me, I'm sure) a lesson during this time. I don't know what it is yet, but I'm constantly looking for it.

There have been many open doors for jobs, some of which God has closed. We are still awaiting a reply from both Home Depot and the DES for possible jobs. I'm praying like crazy that this is it! (: We will just see. Please continue to pray for us in this time. Pray for patience, especially!
