A prayer of mine has been answered in a large, obvious way! My husband travels monday thru. Thursday…sometimes Friday on a weekly basis. This has been for three years now, and a very very difficult situation for us as a couple and it has been top on my prayer list that he might find something soon, closer to home. He took the job because it was a largish promotion, and supposebly temporary…
This is the interesting “spiritual” side…My husband and his mother were very, very close. When she died my H. developed an anger toward God Himself. All these years I have been trying to encourage him by telling him that his mother was such a beautiful Christian woman…a role model, and I’ve tried to explain our Catholic position (he was Baptist) reassuring him that since she was a faithful servant to the Lord, she could be in position to pray for her son, and intercede for us here in Life. I do this, often imploring mom to pray for my Husband.
When he received the first job offer, he had worked on the lines for ten years. This is despite the fact that he had two college degrees in Business and Human resources. He was becoming very frustrated that he wasn’t able to follow the path he worked so hard in school to accomplish. Finally, three years ago they offered this job, putting his education to work. It would be difficult, but we didn’t give that a second thought, because He was to begin May 1st…the date of his mother’s passing…
It has been hard…we’ve worked through the trials…and I think our marriage is stronger because of it. We lately have been missing each other, and he misses the girls…and so I have been praying hard that the Lord might end this particular trial…I’ve also been asking my H’s mom to pray for this intention…I told my husband this…wanting him to see my Catholic faith at work…
Well…he got a job offer within the company in his desired field of work, there will be travel, but 90% less…he recieved this offer last month…and they asked that he begin this new job on May 1st…the date of his mothers passing!!!
is that not amazing? I have been singing the Lord’s praises for weeks now…I am floating…because the most important thing is that my Husband is now looking into RCIA…which he couldn’t before due to travel…and…I can point to his mother’s definate intercession! Some might say it is coincidence…but I think definately NOT. It is fitting that this is the day that has been chosen. My husband has the awfulest time on May 1st…God is the supreme Healer…Always knowing how to speak with us if we listen…

Now, pray for your husband’s conversion, but don’t tell him about it. 
He is so good!
