I just want to praise God from whom all blessings flow. He has been especially close to me this week. As with everyone these days, funds are stretched to the LIMITS. Saturday my dh had a company picnic and our daughter and her roommate were w/us from college. We weren't sure how we were going to stretch things far enough. After the picnic was over, someone gave us LOTS of hot dogs and bbq pork we purchased for a small amount. Sure enough God had provided. Now i must confess i don't particulary care for hot dogs and i know the nutritional level is not great but this is what God gave me and believe me , we used it. We even had enough to freeze for later. I had always been so proud of how well i could find a bargain and felt so good about myself for it. Pride comes before a fall. So needless to say ....... God reminded me that HE was the one who provided for us. Before grocery shopping i asked God to guide my steps and help me find the bargains i needed to stretch for our family. The bible says to be in constant prayer and i was, all day i prayed for guidance and God showed me what i believe HE wanted for me. I found great bargains and thanked God all day! So now i share w/ anyone who wants to hear. Thank you, Lord. Now my daughter from college called and said that she got a statement from her college saying that all her loans went thru and she has 100$+ left over from the loans. I don't write these things to be boastful, i am always waiting for the next shoe to drop so to speak. But i am trying to trust God for all things. It is hard because i wasn't raised in a christian home and life is soooo full of craziness at times. Most of the time i keep questioning what to do. Life is hard for everyone but living w/ 1adhd, brain trauma child and a child w/adhd,bipolar, possible Asperger syndrome , makes me wonder if i can handle it. My dd#3 has so much trouble w/ people picking on her and saying hurtful things, i just want to shelter her from all this pain. She went to scouts and the girls said the wished she moved away so she didn't have to be there. Mind you, She is not always the kindest person- she reacts back and gets herself in hot water. At home on occasion she can go from one extreme emotion to the next. I love her with all my heart. But sometimes she is hard to like. My heart breaks for her, she sees a specialist in Jan (hope we can survive til then). Please keep us in your prayers. I pray for just one good friend for her and a mentor. Have a Great week !
