Today has been an especially difficult day. Not for myself so much as it was for my husband.
When he finally got home tonight, after yet another 12-hour long day, he felt so defeated, so downcast...it nearly broke my heart.
My eternal optimist. My can-do guy. The one who never gives up, who never quits.
He was almost ready to throw in the towel.
I can't pretend to know why everything in our lives has been so hard lately. I don't know when or how it's ever going to get any better.
But God does.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
And I'm so, so thankful for that.

Sometimes it is so very, very hard to step back and look at the big picture - I do struggle with that often.
Give your can-do guy an extra really big hug - sounds like he earns it on a regular basis.
My hubby is going through some things himself right now. I just try to be there and support him all I can, but at times I worry that I'm not doing enough. Hang in there Wendy. God has a plan for you all and hopefully it will come to fruit soon for you all. I will say a prayer. (((HUGS)))
It always seems so hard when we don't understand the plan...but yes! It's a wonderful thing to rely on God's sovereignty!
My husband has been a bit stressed and down lately too. It's hard, but I just try to support him the best I can and I'm sure you do too!
