Well, Tuesday has come and gone and it has been a good day... I am trying like crazy to get things under control but there is always a wrench to throw that seems to get thrown in.... It's funny...actually, last week I was checking out at the grocery store and didn't realize that one of my kid's that was in youth group at church (many moons ago) was checking... She has graduated from college and is married with her own kid now... (wow, that makes me feel old) I asked her how things were going and she starts to tell me that she still hasn't found a job using her degree... and student loans are due and she is frustrated... So I automatically go into the 'things will get better and work out' speech... and then I stopped... and I said... 'you know what, things won't necessarily get better and there will always be SOMETHING.. and it's true... just when you think everything is hunky dory.... BAM... the car breaks, you get a bill you weren't expecting, you get sick, your hours get cut... something... always.. and that is life... but is the brite spots that make it all worth it and your faith that helps you keep your anxieties in check... because in the long run...is all the worrying going to change anything... nope, but it will surely steal your joy and has many times... ONLY because I let it, we all let it get the best of us sometimes, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, sunshine after the rain and if all else fails... the drive thru at Dairy Queen LOL
Ya, I am struggling to make up a big OOPSY that is not all my fault, I set up auto-pay on my car and they took out 3 months in December... big oops... right before Christmas and my birthday, worst of all, I was on vacation remember, so I check my account daily when I am at work... which I wasnt so I didnt realize it until we started getting nasty little yellow slips in the mail and I freaked... of course I had been shopping for presents, sent off bills yada yada yada... I really take pride in keeping my family on track and I was sick about this .... to say the least... but alas, we have survived... still feeling the ache of money gone that we thought we had but we survived...
We can get overwhelmed if we let the worries of daily living overcome us but we have to remember that living is the most important things and remind ourselves daily to focus on what we have ... not what we don't... and the blessing in this to me is realizing no matter what, love remains and God sustains...
