There is so much hardship going on in the world today. And the worst part is that I can see it affecting people I know, as well as my own life! Things are tight and necessities are rising in price. It is hard to not get discouraged.
I havent written in a few days because of this discouragement. I know that once August 1st comes, it will be waaaayy easier for us to save money. We just have to get through July.
I am thankful for all the Lord has blessed us with, that we have a secure home and are able to if anything pay our bills. I am calling around to hopefully start waitressing a few nights a week on top of my day job, and hubby is looking for a full time position on top of his lawn company.
Perhaps this time is to really know what being humble in the Lord means. To realize that He is the only constant is such hard times. Please pray for us that we will be able to find second jobs and that we may become more humble in His name. Thanks.

I sure hear you. On Sunday our paper ran an Associated Press piece about the extremely low morale our nation is experiencing currently. The economy, the oil prices, the weather... and all things there-unto have combined to create a "perfect storm" of hopelessness. My hubby's company sent out a letter just last week announcing that "due to the economic turndown" they must make a "20% reduction of force". Guess who got to be reduced? Yep - DH. So, I truly feel your pain when it comes to living day-to-day with a heart filled with hope but a bank account dwindling. We've been through all of this several times before, so I know that things will work out in the end. However, it would sure be nice if things worked out sooner, rather than later! No matter how old I get, it is always really hard to "wait upon the Lord", and "lean unto His understanding". :) Hang in there! He won't forsake us!
