Praise God! I am so glad he got tht job! I'...YAY!!! Praise God! I am so glad he got tht job! I've been praying for you!<BR/><BR/>This was a great post and one that was really good for me to read today. I know what you mean about being near 40 and shouldn't life be better financially at this point. I feel that way all the time. Shouldn't we own a home and have retirement savings started, yada yada. My family does not help, since they are all sqared away financially and look down on us because we struggle. <BR/><BR/>The message about tithing was really helpful to me today though, as I've been skimping on that lately. I have ahard time doing it because my hubby is a non-beleiver and can't stand the idea of just giving money away. But i notice that whenever I tithe out of my humble income, things always get better for us. <BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas to you and your family! I am so happy for you!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726796954968328204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102310.post-18690073071156935752008-12-19T14:23:00.000-08:002008-12-19T14:23:00.000-08:00AMEN!

My inadequate budget and math skills are part of what I have to continually surrender to God to keep us out of the overdraft arena.<BR/>CAN SO RELATE! Thanks for being so real and authentic here and sharing about your struggles and victories as only a beloved of God can... In Absolute Truth.<BR/><BR/>To Him be the GLORY for the great things He has done.

We've just got to keep on putting one foot in front of the other, keep on praying and trusting, because we never know when the good thing God has planned for us may be right around the corner. (I remind myself of that a lot, because God knows there are plenty of times I get discouraged and want to just give up!)Lisa @ The Plain-Spoken Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589278128659676715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102310.post-65740968714192624972008-12-19T13:06:00.000-08:002008-12-19T13:06:00.000-08:00I loved your post!
