This too shall pass...

I am pretty confused about the way I feel right now.

Chris was laid off. He has been cut off from unemployment for 2 weeks now. I work as an intern in the Courthouse for $7/hour. He has no health insurance. We both want(ed) to continue school. We are planning a wedding, but we can't afford much other than current bills. Wanting traditional wedding staples (e.g. rings, a dress) seems shameful, which hurts.  My "father" declined an invitation to said wedding. I am both relieved and heartbroken.

Life is scary, and it's stressful. I had thought my life was finally going well for me. I thought I was finally growing up, leaving my past for good. I thought I was free.

But for the first time in my life, I am questioning my faith. Let it be known, I am not religious. I believe that religion is man-made while spirituality and faith are individual. Blah blah blah.

Chris told me that he prayed Sunday night for the first time in years. Monday, he was offered a a temporary job for around a month.

Is that all we need to get by? Just a little faith?

love, woe is me, not for you
