God is Good- God is GREAT- Big time prayer going on

11:04 AM, 2008-Apr-28 .. Posted in God is Good .. 2 comments .. Link
  Doing a lot of praying right now. We have some decisions to be making with the debt counseling agency (reminder again: do not go with a debt counseling agency to settle your debts- do it yourself—you CAN do it).
I am working at not seeing this as another stumbling block. I admit that I am extremely frustrated with this “agency” as I do not think they are really truly working on my behalf. I am thankful that I keep meticulous notes on all our phone conversations and keep hard copies of everything I receive- otherwise I believe we'd be in worse shape.
I am so flustered. I know that this isn't my worry- I must give it all to God and trust that He will take care of it. I am praying that I am dealing with this in the right way and that we are actually making headway after this stumbling block and not in a worse situation.
Mostly- I need to lay my expectations at the cross as well as these burdens. I'm flustered mostly because this seems to be "messing up" my time table of when I thought we could have these debts paid off. I guess I am needing the reminder that God is in control of this also and that my time table is not necessarily His. When it comes right down to it- I'd rather be on His time table than on mine. No matter what.
And so- I hope to finish last week's posts on our week of homeschooling as well as post my menu later on today. But who knows-- as I've also got 3 girls coming over to spend the night with mine and needing to help type up and polish and put together my two girls Young Authors books that are due tomorrow.
And I'm not even mentioning the youth work that needs doing . . . .
I've put that in God's hands too- He knows my schedule and what needs doing and what can wait. May He lead me.
** Update- as I'm posting my friend and neighbor stopped to see if I needed anything from the store- I thankfully gave her my short list and crossed that off my list of things to do. Thank you Lord for speaking to my heart so quickly.
You never fail to amaze me.

Do you know when you will be getting the "economic stimulus check" or how much you will be getting? Can you exit from the debt counseling agency or are you locked in to finishing up with them?
I can't wait until my garden start producing because grocery costs keep going up. I have planted raspberries this year...I hope they do well. Last year I bought little blueberry bushes at WalMart for $6 and they are loaded with flowers and have all survived. I also planted a grape from WalMart last year that is starting to leaf up.
The U of MD Cooperative Extension recommends small berries for home gardens, but I have never tried them before. I have to say I have been very pleased with the WalMart plants as they were priced way below other stores and seem to be thriving.
Right now I just have the berries, peas, and sugar snap peas growing....too cold for others yet.

God will provide

You know that God WILL provide. Almost 3 years ago I found out how much debt we were in (more than one year's salary) right in the middle of my post partum depression. The next day I found out I was pregnant. Boy, did I feel like my life was caving in around me! We had tough roads ahead but family came through with small loans and we put ALL our "extra" money towards credit cards. I'm talking about tax returns, birthday money, etc...I just posted about this a few days ago. Friday I found out we had payed off our last credit card. Hang in there. aggielandmommy.blogspot.com

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.

DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
