Amazed

I just have to take this moment and say that I am amazed at God's provision. One of the perks/downfalls of being in the circumstance that I am in, is that I am having to start all over again. After living on my own for 4 years, being married, working, and living the life of an adult, I am back to square one. In so many ways this is a blessing because it feels like I am getting a second chance at life. The downfall and not so great part is that when I say I am starting over...I am literally starting over. Until less than a month ago, I didn't even have a bank account. Also, starting over means working a job that pays me half what I was making. This wouldn't be a big deal except the one thing in my life that didn't start over are bills...

Ok...back to God's provision! It seems like every week my tiny little paychecks go even further than I thought they would. They stretch and stretch and stretch! It is like my paychecks are Gumby (ok maybe not Gumby, but you get the point)!! Not only has God blessed my paychecks, but He has also worked through the creditors that are owed. Almost every time I have called to make payments on a bill, I am offered a settlement knocking literally $100's off my bills. I am not even being sent to collections!!! This is allowing me to pay bills off quicker and move on to the next item on my list. I am soo thankful!

PRAISE GOD FOR HIS PERFECT PLAN AND PROVISIONS!!!!

The Nothing Is Really New Blog

I noticed today that I have not written a blog in quite sometime. Truth is, there isn't much to report. I am going into my final week of training at Directv and then will roll right into my new schedule on the floor. That means tomorrow (Sunday) is my last day off for 9 days. This is also my last weekend of freedom for at least 3 months. How am I spending my last Saturday of un-attachment? I am laying on the couch taking cat naps and watching the Love Comes Softly series on Hallmark. I do have to say that the movies have nothing on the books! My whole family is out of town so I am also playing zoo keeper to 2 cows, 3 horses, 3 dogs, a bunch of chickens who continually plot my demise, and 1 duck. Luckily for everyone involved my parental units are coming back home tomorrow.

I have much to be thankful for. In the past couple of weeks God has blessed me with a few creature comforts that I had lost when I first arrived in Idaho. I have a bank account. My very own bank account. You don't really know what a luxury a checking account is until you don't have it for three months and are cashing checks at Walmart. I have been able to pay bills. I have a ways to go but God is definitely blessing my little paychecks and I am slowly getting back on my feet. There are still huge hurdles to jump over and healing to be done, but everyday is a little better. On those days when I feel like getting out of bed is too much of a struggle, God picks me up and gets me through my days!
