I'M ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!

Okay, so I've been holding all of this in but I can't anymore, this morning takes the cake. If you have the time to read this get comfortable because it might get a little lengthy. The devil has been REALLY busy with us for the past couple of months. Makes no sense. Let me start from the beginning and I'll try my best to shorten.

FH's sister got arrested for embezzlement. Apparently she had been cashing company checks. His mother at the beginning of this year JUST got done with Chemo for her breast cancer. His mother is living with FH because she has not job, the plan was the sister would move in when we got married so she can pay the bills, but with her arrest that kinda messed the plan up. Right now she is out of bail and her trial is pending, but FH's says that no matter what happens he's not paying any bills when he moves out. Apparently his mother told him that she will be alright...I guess she has some chks coming in that she is going to use. Okay NEXT

FH's older brother has been in and out drug rehab for most of his life. He slipped again a couple months ago and is currently back in rehab. The sad thing about this is FH's brother is SOOO smart, he just can beat this stupid drug thing! We are praying this is the last time he has to go. That's been an issue

FH's father has been on and off of drugs for most of FH's life. He recently got back on drugs also. He was bold enough to say to his brother's and sisters that yup he's back taking drugs...he likes doing it and does not plan on quitting...he's not even trying!

My car started having problems, went to the dealership and apparently they found a $2000 repair job, that should have been covered by my warranty, but apparently they said my warranty expired March of this year which was inccorrect. So I had to pray and drive my car all the way to another county to the dealership where I purchased car, they chked it and said they could not find ANYTHING wrong with it....and after going back and forth with them for a while they paid and signed for a new warranty.

FH's car was totalled when someone hit him from behind, THANK GOD he is alright but now we have a new car payment to add to bills.

If you are not an animal lover you won't get this part, but my poor dog that I've had forever has been suffering with SEVERE pain...after to taking him too and from the vet...spending a whole bunch of money they finally referred him to a specialist. It really was horrible this morning because I had to pick him up and take him outside to use the bathroom becuase he couldn't walk they whole time he was screaming. The neighbors probably thought I was killing him! Anyway turns out he has a slipped disc in his neck. They are operating on him right now as I type this. It will cost $3000 to do, but fortunatley the vet has a type of credit card that we can use for the surgery.

It's been a very STRESSFUL couple of months...all this on top of planning for a wedding...please pray for us!

[quote="FutureMrsKeepUp"]You know what Soon, the devil will not get the glory of us moping over these minor setbacks. God is able! Put it all in his hands AND LEAVE IT THERE! Don't try to help him out.

So sorry to hear about your dog. I don't know if you read my post but my dog died yesterday from parvo, a canine virus. Show that baby some love and he'll be up and running around again in no time.

No I didn't see you post about you dog!!! I'm SO sorry about that! I know God is in control and I trust, it's just that these past few months have been SO stressful....one thing after another after another! I know that's how the devil works and I'm trying not to let his stupid self win.....this morning was just crazy though...on top of everything...I haven't been sleeping too well because of having to periodically get up and chk on him...give him his pills....thinking about last minute wedding stuff.....this and that....Whew! I just needed to vent out and get it off my chest....I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want it to seem like I didn't have faith....or I'm complaining especially since God has gotten me through SO much....but I just couldn't take it anymore....thanks for your words!

Thank you ladies. I really thank you for your words...I feel much better about everything today. Friday was REALLY hard for me because it seemed like everything just came crashing down. I was not sleeping...constantly worry about stuff. I have been quoting the scripture Phil 4:6-7 "Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication and with thanksgiving let your request be know to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanging shall keep your hearts & minds through Christ Jesus" I know this union is ordained by God because the devil is trying to do everything in his power to stop it.....but he will NOT win! I thank you all again....you women are wonderful!

As an update.....My sweet Boots is doing better. I picked him up yesterday from the vet. He's in some pain from the surgery but NOTHING like the pain he's been in for the past month. He has a LONG scar from the base of his throat to about the beginning on his chest...they got that thing all stapled up...I call him my little Frankenstien! It feels like I've got 200 million things to do with less then 3 wks to do it.....BOY I can't wait until this wedding day hurry up and GET HERE ALREADY!.....sheesh.....
