The Best Husband!

My husband has his moments of the knight in shining armor.  

I haven't been sleeping this last week- I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep because I start thinking about not having a job.  It isn't JUST not having work that makes me crazy, it is not being anything- you know, we are what we do.  I am a teacher and in my case, it isn't just what I do, it is what I am.  It is what I love.  I feel like it is one of the things that I was created to do.  So when I lose that, I struggle with my identity.  So, all the stresses that go along with losing my job, really start racing through my mind in the middle of the night.  

Well, in the midst of last week, crying in the middle of the night because I just wanted to sleep- my husband comforted my heart by reminding me that we were going to be ok.  And his response to my worries was to tell me that maybe God knew that I needed time to rest.  Then he also said it would give me more time at the gym (he wasn't saying it because he thinks I need it, but because he knows that I would like to spend more time working out) and finally he said, and you will have time to work on your book.  

He is the best!  He is ready and willing to step up- and if we lose my income... we will figure out how to make it work.  And he wants his wife to do the things that make her happy that she doesn't have time to do when she is working.  It blessed my heart.  

We're the perfect couple.  The thing that I can't deal with- loss of my job, loss of my income, loss of the security that comes with my income-- he is not bothered by.  He has lived with less than I can ever imagine and he understands that there are worse things we could go through.  He is strong in the very thing that makes me the weakest.  

He on the other hand doesn't deal with health issues well.  He automatically thinks the worse and worries about what will or could happen.  I on the other hand am not bothered by health issues.  If I die, I will be with Jesus.  And when he is struggling with his health, he just needs me to pray for him and to tell him that it will be ok, and he feels better.  Where I am strong, he is weak.  

God really does know what He is doing when he brings people together!
