Patience has never been one of my character qualities, and waiting for what happens next in my husband's court case seems to be weighing extra heavy on me today. It's the not knowing that is raising my stress level, I found out today that all the information that he had given me on how long he would stay in jail, was just heresay and opinion of the other inmates- he hasn't even seen a lawyer! I shouldn't be working myself into a frenzy, it won't change a thing. I am just worried about where I will go, I can't stay in the shelter forever, and there isn't anyone at all who will take me in. I don't have any friends other than the ones I have made here. There is one couple that said I could go with them, but they have three children and another on the way, and I just don't think I'm up for that. I'm good for a few more months here at least, but I'm afraid if I get too comfortable I'll have it ripped out from under me. And it's not just a money thing, I really can't live on my own. And that's a hard thing to have to admit- that I'm basically too crazy to survive by myself. For now though, all I can do is pray. I know God has a plan for me, and I just have to pray for him to continue to lead me on that path. I know that I make people smile and laugh, and I've fixed three cell phones just today. I will just do what I do, and let "this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" as the song goes.

You may have more sanity than you give yourself credit for. And I wouldn't put too much reliance on your husband. I taught in a jail setting once and what I noticed about many of the females was that they were depending on a man to save them. The men they chose/could get usually couldn't even take care of themselves very well
