I was reading usmagazine.com the other day and Heidi and Spencer Pratt were talking about how they pray that they stay famous. That was seriously their prayer. Now I am okay with people talking to God and saying what they feel but to pray that you stay famous?? That bothered me. Here's why...My husband quit his job in NC and we moved back to Knoxville, TN. We wanted to be close to family and friends. He held his new job for two months and then he was laid off. He was out of work for 3 months and got another job - a really good job that he liked. He was there for about 5 months, then he was laid off, yet again. He was out of work for 6 months this time - he looked everywhere. In the meantime, I had a baby, developed an ulcer, and severe anxiety and our son was kicked out of preschool (another story for another time). So life wasn't the best and stress was high.
He finally found a job out of town, three hours away from friends and family in Murfreesboro, TN. We moved, we bought a house, we settled in. Our cat ran away, and my husband was laid off once again after two months. He developed Kidney disease, we survived a tornado, our house phone died and we had to replace it (money we didn't have), our lawn mower died in the middle of mowing the lawn, our car broke down and is working on breaking down again, my uncle passed away and my son starts Kindergarten at the end of this month. My ulcer is burning at an all time high, my anxiety is through the roof and not to mention I can't sleep. My husband is terribly depressed, we miss our cat (although I refuse to give up finding him), and the phone isn't ringing off the hook from hiring managers just waiting for us to start that fantastic dream job. So when I read that Heidi and Spencer were praying to stay famous??? I did get mad - I am praying for my husband to find a job, for our cat to come home, for our health and safety, for our car to make it the grocery store and back safely. I do feel blessed because things could be worse and if I didn't have God to turn to, there would be nothing. But still....Am I being too harsh? You tell me? Thoughts?
