Hey,
It’s been years since I’ve posted a prayer request, but I really think we need prayers now. I’ll try to break down the situation as best as I can. My husband and I were married a couple months ago, but at the moment we unfortunately are living apart. He is in England working and I am in the States working. He’s an British citizen and we’re in the beginning stages of getting his visa to become a citizen here. The process is unimaginably complicated.
Anyhow, I am also almost 12 weeks pregnant. Our plans for the future are: I’m going to go to England next month and spend about 2-3 months there with my DH and his family while he works and we save some money. Then he and I are going to fly back to the States and re-settle in a midwestern state far from where I am now, simply because that’s where my family is and we need their support. The things that are complicating everything include financial trouble with my husband’s job ending unexpectedly at the end of January (which we just found out about this past week) as well as some medical issues in our marriage which are going to make all this travelling and re-settling a big challenge. There’s a chance we might have to scrap the whole move to be near my family altogether if we can’t find a doctor who can treat this medical problem nearby. (We won’t have a car so a loooong daily or even weekly commute will not work). I don’t want to get into specifics about the medical situation…it’s not life-threatening (at this point) but it is something that requires daily and consistent specialized care. The fact that we might not be able to find a care provider close enough to us in Kansas might mean that the whole Kansas plan is out— but we need to be near family, too. We’ll need some help in the first few months here, so right now I’m feeling like we’re between a rock and a hard place and there’s no clear solution in sight.
So…things just feel very up in the air and unsure right now. We had a plan all worked out and now it seems like it might fall through due to some of the challenges I mentioned above, and I feel so overwhelmed sometimes it’s hard to breathe. Trying to just thank God for the good things and blessings we have and not focus on the worry, but it’s hard.
That’s why I could use some of your prayers. I know you are a powerful bunch here.
Please pray that we will be able to find a solution to our problems and that we’ll be able to settle down soon and begin to live a normal life with our baby. Pray for my own peace of mind if you will, and that I will learn again to trust in God. The main problems are financial (my DH’s job specifically) and the medical issue I’ve alluded to. Please, please pray for us.
