I just read the last chapter of Poverty Mentality. I have been trusting my HL to provide. My EH has not been working since before our marriage was restored and I have actually been the main provider of the house for the entire 21 years of marriage. I have my “normal” job in the day and clean an office in the evenings (I am not trying to brag; I’m just explaining so you know what I am praying and waiting for my Lord to change). Our entire marriage we’ve had the bank account in my name only, the house is in my name, the income tax is filed “head of household” under me. All of this has set my EH up for NOT being able to be the head of our household even though he tells me he is bad with money and wants me to take care of it all. My prayers are that he will one day not only be the spiritual leader but also take over the finances too and that I will be able to one day be a worker at home.
Who said my EH wont’ be able to provide? Who said I can’t be a worker at home? Who said I don’t have enough money? Who said I can’t lose weight? Who said my EH will never be the spiritual leader?
-Not my HH! He says He WILL provide ALL of our needs!
I am just in waiting season.
Thank you hope for sharing your heart with us and am also trusting God for me to be a worker at home. As you have asked all those questions our beloved will answer you at his own right time and he will definitely.
Hope, your situation has become an epidemic around the world—certainly in the U.S. so I am beyond thankful you share this and in the concept and truth WHO SAID… who said, certainly NOT God, that your husbands and the husbands of the brides here can’t become just who GOD wants them to be—providing for his family—spiritually even more than financially.
GOD said NOTHING is impossible so that will be our main focus. Our main focus is keeping our eyes on our Husband and standing by as He battles on our behalf!
Oh, Hope, I cannot wait for the testimony that is going to come from this. 🙌🏻 Just this morning me and the children read about how Saul was waiting for Samuel to come and do the offerings and when Samuel did not come, Saul took matters into his own hands and it ended in disaster and I could see how many times in my life I did the same. I was so glad to read that you will be waiting on Him to provide it all and I know He will. ❤️ #Waiting for your testimony. 🤩
Hope I was in your shoes and just like you reading the WW some truths started unfolding and l started realising l had taken on the financial decision making and burden that was not mine to bare. I started SG and l took scriptures from “Helper Suitable” that l meditated on speaking to Him and He showed me how to slowly start giving the financial decision making back to my eh. Just speaking to my Husband each day meditating on His word about it led to eh making the decision to move to a different town.. eh got a good job in the new town and the opportunity opened for me to become a w@h as l had resigned. My love showed eh the benefit to our family of me being home and l have been trusting my Husband ever since for the income I need to be helper suitable for eh who now makes ALL our financial decisions. I’m so glad you shared “Who Said” Hope! Who Said you can’t be a w@h? He is not a respecter of persons and what He has done for so many of us here He will do for you!
Yes my sweet Hope!!! Nothing is impossible for our Beloved!!! He will change the situation around, we are sometimes carrying so many burdens that do not belong to us!! We need to learn how to slowly let go!!
This is happening more and more, women are becoming the financial leaders in the households, with some men even becoming housemen and taking over the roles of the women. Just yesterday me and my brother (who’s salvation story I shared on L@L, https://loveatlast.org/tag/sshans/) talked over the phone about his new job and how being unemployed affected him as a man. He is not married and do not have dependants, but as a man being the provider or being able to provide if the Lord sends him a wife, is something that is very important to him.
I myself carried a lot of the financial burden during the last years of my marriage which made me struggle and I lost hope that I will ever become a worker @ home (before my journey started) because it got worse and worse. But He knew the desires of my heart and He made a way because nothing is impossible with God!
At one point, my EH tried to “allure” me by telling me he would be a house husband so I could pursue my dreams, but this only confirmed that NO ONE knows me like my Husband does—because He knew my heart was for being a worker@home caring for children and having a househusband would rob me of my deepest desires and longings.
