"Giving it to God"

How often are we told to do this?

Out of those many times, how often do we actually follow through?

I am having a difficult time with this lately. As the school year ends I am left without a job and I have been searching for weeks going on months. I know so many others feel this same way, but of course I feel that the odds are stacked against me because I am pregnant and already feel I gave up a current career for the school. I know this isn’t true, I would not have wanted to be anywhere else besides having a chance to say goodbye to those kids, but somewhere it seems that Satan is trying to cast a shade on the entire situation.

I very much want to give the situation to God. But what does that mean? I apply for any and everything? I try to return to Starbucks (the man of coffee)? I wait until my summer semester of classes is over to find a better schedule? Whatever it means, I pray that I will be lead in the right direction. Right now I seem to be at a loss. “Giving it to God” is not so easy as it sounds.

The first trimester

I have not written much lately. I have not wanted to. Exhausted, despondant, crabby, these are all the adjectives I would say described me, plus a few I will fail to mention.

Not only was getting pregnant a surprise, the side effects have also been a surprise. I am sure my husband could utter a few choice words about my hormonal changes. I go back and forth between worrying and knowing God will provide. We were not financially prepared for a child at all. But I am reminded of the words of Jesus when he says simply not to worry about that stuff. It is more important for Andy and I to follow Jesus and love each other. Stress is not going to help us. Worry certainly won’t.

We do, however, need a lot of prayer and warm wishes to get us through the joy that is pregnancy.

Pregnancy tips for couples are welcome! :)
