Money is not something that is very abundant around here. The amount of money that was coming in each month was cut by over $500 back in August of last year... and it is starting to be very obvious. The amount of bills did not get cut, in fact at times it seems as if they keep growing. Add in the injuries/doctor visits/illnesses...you get the picture.
All of us have money issues at some point in time, or deal with them on a daily basis.
All of us have to choose to trust God with our money, or lack there of.
Add in that I am really hoping to graduate and be done with my bachelor's degree within 25 weeks, and there was some kind of snaffu at school with loan money, and this gets really tested for me.
We already are about $200-300 a month short of what bills cost...that shortage has quickly been depleting the tiny savings account.
Today, things look bleak. They look as if there is no possible way that they can work out.
BUT!!!
My God is bigger than my bank accounts. His resources are unlimited. He doesn't get scared when money that was supposed to come in, no longer is going to. He doesn't stop providing for us just because something went wrong or didn't work the way it was supposed to. He has us in the palm of His hand, and He provides not only for our every need, but even for some of our desires. He knows what is best for us, and what we can live without. He knows exactly how much money, to the penny, that we will need each month, year, over our lifetimes. He will see us through!
So, rather than sit here and stew about something I cannot change, I am going to knock out my homework, cook dinner for my girls, and rejoice that for this month all the bills are covered.
And pray my little heart out that He will take care of all the details, resting in the fact that He has already promised to do just that!
