I think I mentioned in an earlier posting that I once complained to a friend that I didn't see how we were going to make it through the month and her warm, comforting reply was: "you say that EVERY month!"
I've never forgotten that.
Because, I do say that every month. In fact, I said it again this month, because I thought, surely, this was the one where we were circling the financial drain. What I didn't know was that the car that needed to be repaired was $100 cheaper than first estimated; that we'd get paid three days early because it's the end of the fiscal year; that I could put off the ortho and insurance payments for another month, etc. etc.
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I DON"T KNOW.
I need to put all my faith in the the things I DO know:
"He will never leave you or forsake you."
Please pray for my faith. That I will look ahead confidently, not to the things that are ahead, but to the One that is ahead.
In the next week or two, TH will find out if he is getting the permanent job he has applied for at the h.s. where he was a long-term sub this year. Will he get it? Will he get a different permanent job? Will he have to go back to subbing? Will we be back to Square One?
Does it really matter?
If I believe---really believe--that God has promised to take care of us, can't I just leave it at His feet?
For one more month.

Wise words. I will keep coming back to this.
A while ago I promised you a poem. I hope I've captured Rosco's spirit even if the ending may be pure imagination!
I hope this cheers you a little.
