Trusting in God Through a Job Loss

My husband has lost his job. Because I didn't have an income and will be going to school in the fall, we are now without any incoming money. What does this have to do with Christian parenting? Plenty.

How do you handle losing all the income in the home? You pray if you're smart. I know that It's been hard for us. My husband has actually been discriminated against for going to church on Sundays, and we are working on getting that fixed, however it works. But it's so hard to trust that we will be cared for, so hard to trust that God has the best at heart for us even now. Caelin is watching us, even at 11 months children are so impressionable. We want to teach him to love and believe that he will be cared for.

With no savings and still being in debt though, we're not sure where we will end up. We may end up going to a shelter and relying on God's people to provide for us. That is hard to contemplate. I don't want to think of not being able to provide for my baby, and my husband and I both suffer from some degree of pride. That is something we both need to work on, and maybe that is something that God will teach us through this experience.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10

"We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed"
