I'm So Tired.

Aug 24, 2007 22:51

I was telling Jennie, a Small Group member that I'm close to, that I'm just tired. The summer is ending, and things are fixing to speed up and I already feel like I can't breathe. School starts on Monday, I don't have all my books because I can't afford them, I start my job on Monday, but it's going to be so incredibly tedious, because I will, just ( Read more... )

*hugs* I'm scared of money too. Sometimes it literally makes me sick to my stomach to look at my bank account on-line. If I would keep up with it on my own, I wouldn't get a huge shock every time I log in, but I don't seem to be able to do that.

It's often hard to depend on the Lord when our worldly needs seem so bleak and so unmet. Lee and I went through this the past week. As I have stopped working with our soon to be addition, our finances have been really tight. I haven't been able to understand where all our money goes. I spent a really bad weekend all last weekend worrying about it. It's not easy. How are we going to afford a little one on top of everything else? But somehow, probably through quite a bit of prayers and tears and frustration, I am at peace. We have about the same amount in our bank account. But the Lord has just basically told me to just hang in there and depend on Him. He knows the needs of His children. He understands what we need, though He feels far away. When your life is aligned with Him, we still may not understand, but we can have a peace that doesn't make sense to us or our friends. The thing that I've learned that is when I have a need such as money or a washer and dryer that works, etc, is when I'm praying I ask for very specific things. " ( ... )

Ladies, thank you so much.

MrsDuck, it helps to know someone else is scared of money and gets physically ill when they see their bank account, too. That's totally me.

Angela, your comment made my cry. Thank you for praying for me and showing me how the Lord has blessed you, so that I will see how he WILL bless me. I need to remember that all things will work for the good for those who love Him and seek His will.

I hear you on the no money thing. It's hard sometimes for me to have faith that God is going to provide me what I need. Sometimes I want to pout and whine to Him about what I want. Which is of course not what I need.

Yeah, being a big girl does suck alot of times. But sometimes it does feel a little gratifying when you can look back and say, with God's help I handled that pretty well.

I need to have another one of those moments pretty soon.
