There are a few moments in life that I would classify as “freak out” moments. Finding out my husband had lost his job was definitely one of them.
It was just a few months after we had gotten married, we were both settling into our new jobs, and we were both settling into our roles as husband and wife. That’s when I got the phone call.
I was happily answering ...
Dear reader,
It's Mother's Day and I want you to know I adore and appreciate you so much! I know this long road of unemployment or financial hardship has left you so weary. I know often times you just want to throw in the towel and give up.
I know when you're dealing with this heavy burden, sometimes your efforts to keep a smile on your face and be a great mom to your kids leaves you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Perhaps you even fail at doing the mom role well because your patience levels are pretty ...
Every once in a while I have the honor of sharing real life experiences with you from the readers of UnEmployed Faith and from those who are part of the UnEmployed Faith Community.
The following guest post is from a sweet blogger friend who is living the anxiety of unemployment in her home right now. I'm so grateful for her willingness to share her heart here. I pray her words will bless you and everyone else who stumbles across this ...
I know that feeling of sheer panic that sets in when your husband comes home saying, "well, honey, I just got laid off."
Even though my husband and I saw it coming, it was still a pretty hard blow to our sense of inner peace when that reality hit us.
Thankfully, with a lot of hard and intentional efforts, our marriage survived three years of unemployment.
I have such a heart for this ministry of helping others keep their marriage strong through the difficult times of financial hardship that I wrote a book about ...
This year memorizing scripture has become a high priority for me. While my personal and family struggles with unemployment and financial hardship may have passed, I'd be foolish to think life going forward will only be smooth sailing.
The thing is, God never promised a life free from trouble.
Even though I know God will never leave me nor forsake me, that He will always be with me carrying me through the difficult storms of life, and that no matter what happens He will find someway to bring good from my suffering ...
"I personally feel that being the wife to an unemployed man means we need to do our part to show love in tangible ways, to be his best friend in the storm, to try lifting his spirits when we can, and to help boost his self esteem." ~ Rosann Cunningham, UnEmployed Faith
Your husband lost his job. He's having trouble finding another one.
A man's identity is wrapped up in what he does ...
Suffering.
We all go through it at some time in our life. For some of us, it happens more often than we'd prefer.
At a recent church event, I stood in front of a crowd of women and shared my testimony. My husband and I have been through an awful lot of trials over the past 13 or so years. I knew it was a lot, but it wasn't until I stood there painting a picture of all of that emotion that it hit me just how much suffering we were, for whatever reason, chosen to ...
Do you ever wonder if the season you're in right now will ever end? I know it must feel like the longest season ever... Oh, how I know. I have been there, dear friend. That's why I thought this seasonal post from my sister site, Christian SuperMom, would be right up your alley. I hope you enjoy it and walk away encouraged.
Waiting can be such agony. I remember when I was little, it seemed like the month of December took forever to arrive.
Once it did, I would eagerly ...
Last night my daughter and I were reading about and discussing random acts of kindness. It turned out to be a Christian mom teaching opportunity.
So I explained to her how God uses various individuals and situations to provide for, protect, and bless His people.
Through a random act of kindness, a homeless person might be surprised by a new coat and gloves to keep warm. A father struggling to pay the bills and keep the lights on might suddenly stumble across some extra cash. A friend in need of work, might be offered a side job at ...
This is my absolute favorite time of year. Not only do I enjoy splurging on all the delicious holiday foods and treats, but I also feel overcome with gratitude for the countless blessings God has poured over my life. And entering a season of celebrating Jesus... Glorious, Holy, Amazing, Jesus! I just get all giddy thinking about it!
However, I'll admit there was a three to four year season of seemingly endless trials, my husband's unemployment being a major part of those years, where I struggled to get ...
