So much has happened. Christmas. A new job for Charlie. No work for me. I pray and read my Philipians 4 over that I am trying to memorize. My God shall supply all your needs according to HIS riches in glory. There is the answer. God has it all covered. I know he will take care of us. Worry is my greatest burden as I try to take it all on myself. I feel guilty when I don't have work that can scoop us up out of financial troubles. It has happened before...And then I realize that God is showing me the life of Gidieon. The faith of the Widow with Paul...He doesn't tell these stories to say you may win the lottery, but that He has and will follow through. In His time.
We decided that without money it wouldn't be right to be fostering right now. If we came to a situation where a child needed something and we couldn't afford it I would be sick. We've lived on the dastardly CREDIT for the whole year and the idea of it is frightening. I wonder how many other families have come to this brink just like us?
Christmas was lovely. We didn't have any money so I really focused on the Christ in Christmas. The Choir specials seemed more intense and meaningful. Our visits with family more precious. It was calm and hassle-free and I appreciated it greatly. I get embarrassed about not having money for gifts, but the ones who love us understand.
Somewhat a downer of a blog, but also an optimistic one. God is in control, He loves us, and promises to care for us always. How wonderful of a Christmas present is that?
