Prayers for tonightThanks everyone for all your encouragement. DH is going to talk to my sister tonight after my niece is in bed. He will tell her then that she has 2 weeks to find other arrangements.
We are not going to tell my parents because they haven't bothered to talk to us or see how we are doing through all this, and in all honesty once my sister calls them I'm not sure they'll care why we did what we did, only that they won't be able to believe that we mean enough to kick her out.
My DH sister called him last night and the spoke for 2 hours. She asked him if my sister knew we were unemployed, and he said, yes...and she said then what the heck is she still doing there? The seriousness of both of us being unemployed should have been enough to get her off her butt to get a job and not worry about whether it is in that city she's going to move to or not...but it didn't.
Because my mom is not speaking to me I think that she thinks my sister is doing everything she can but I'm sorry...if every store in a city isn't hiring- look somewhere else.
I'm really torn over this. I poured over bible verses and articles on waiting on God just so I could stop feeling guilty. Then I had to realize that the guilt was not from God- it's from Satan and my DH and I cannot continue to allow her to just sit around while she waits for her tabs, her job, her apartment, her DH to confess, etc...nope, she can do that somewhere else.
I'm tired, I'm emotional and I'm not looking forward to this evening.
If you would be willing to just pray that my sister's heart be softened and open to what my husband is telling her, and that we'll make it through and that I won't miss my niece too much!
