I just had a lousy conversation with my wife. What I do for a living isn’t very glamourous, but it does take a lot of time. Right now we are gassed out. Completely exausted from just trying to keep up with mundane life. But I have to work more overtime. Just now I l told my wife that we couldn’t play tonight or tomorrow. I guess what I am frustrated about is the fact that I am unable to meet what seems like the normal demands of life. Husband,father, work, church/ministry & self care are all going to the dogs. Do I get out of the current career? It seems lilke there is a simple solution. Father, help me find it!
Dear Sweet Husband,
Though it’s a difficult time for us right now I admire you very much for the way you work hard. I know this will pass but even in this time, please remember that I love you and am incredibly grateful for these 5 wonderful years. Just now I’m reminded of the verse that speaks of Abraham I think…when it says ‘for he did not waiver in unbelief regarding the promise of God but believed that God had the power to do what he had promised. ( I think that’s the rough idea at least) I think that may be what this time is for us…. a time for our faith to be tried and perfected in the hands of our Loving Father Jesus. I am with you and am blessed to be here. Thanks for hanging in there one step and day at a time. Growing more in love with you all the time.
-Your Bride.
Praying for you and for wisdom. Pray for me as well–similar concerns (minus the career change part).

This wouldnt happen to be the very same Uwem who went to the University of Oklahoma? If so then I may just make your day. I have been looking for old friends and I hope that this message will find you and encourage you to let God take the wheel. Email me if you remember me.
