Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, I haven't been on my account enough lately to visit guilds and stay updated. sweatdrop
I am christian, at least I feel that I am (believing in God & trying to follow his word to the best of my human ability) but lately I've been overwhelmed by so many things- a new marriage, a baby on the way, no steady income for sure yet (husbands in orientation, doesn't always garentee a job)-.
I've been searching for answers to many of these things that I feel are going wrong or are not moving fast enough. I'm stressed out because so many people in my life have done nothing but criticize the fact that I choose marriage at such an age and supposedly the "wrong time to get pregnant".
Anyways I've tried asking in different areas friends, family, strangers and maybe I'm just waiting for an answer I like. (which isn't always the best answer).
So this is probably my final attempt.
The answers I have recieved are basically "I can't help you, or tell you what to do."
and the others get religious on me... saying "pray about it."
Sometimes I wonder if they are using "pray about it as a substitute for somthing like, "She's dumb or I don't know what to say." I just want a more in depth answer...
I have tried praying...sometimes I feel God is saying the same thing, "You choose this..."
Any comments?
And yes I'd still appreciate your prayers...

Stand Up, You’ve Got to Manage
I Won’t Sympathize Anymore
Hmm, the song I chose to quote for my posts this month doesn't seem...befitting of what I have to say.
At any rate, it's not wrong to want more than a "pray about it" answer. The only problem is that it may be the answer though you've already done so. How we approach God and how we listen to hear His word back to us are extremely crucial elements. My interaction with God won't be your own, so there's no way I can tell you what that perfect combination will be for you. It's slightly different for each person.
I'm sorry that you're struggling through life right now, but the fight is only a minor portion of your life as a whole. Soon, you'll be welcoming a beautiful addition into your family; don't let anyone take that joy away from you. If people waited until "the right time" to have a baby, then they'd never have a baby. There IS no right time to have a baby. There's always something going on that means that the situation is less that optimal, but your mindset is what decides that "optimal" time by the amount of love you're willing to commit. He will not give you a burden you cannot handle and if you believe that you are in right order, then you have nothing to fear.
It is quite possible that this is a trial for you. In order words, God is making you suffer on purpose that He might strengthen you for a purpose that has yet to be fulfilled. Keep your faith and keep your wits about you. Whatever it is, you can make it and you can do it. Cling fast to your husband in this time and become a unified force against whatever may face you.
I am sorry that I'm not full of more absolute answers, but to believe is to be a practitioner of an art. There isn't one way of interpreting or doing, there are many different styles that are all considered legitimate and just as potentially fruitful; therefore, I am unable to give you a concrete, scientific answer but offer my window's view worth of insight on this situation. I pray the best for you and your husband. Don't lose faith, don't give up, and never believe that you walk this shadow world alone.
And If You Complain Once More
You’ll Meet An Army of Me
