Thank y'all. Bee-what you said in the March this year thread about Him taking care of us was very timely for me today. Maybe he was speaking to me through you.

Funny how that can happen, but it has happened to me in various ways from the place you least expect it.
As a single parent it seemed I would take two steps forward and one step back all the time and never really get ahead of the bills or the next emotional or financial disaster. I would lie awake at night and cry and pray and cry some more. I'd worry myself sick over the future for me and the boys. God finally opened my eyes to a better way of thinking but it took Him a long time to get that lesson through my thick skull.
Nowadays when I find my chest getting tight from some perceived threat against my family or the future, I just remember that God is always there in the nick of time, so I just need to pray and wait upon the Lord. Nowadays my life is much easier and peaceful because I just skip the middle step of worrying and crying over things I can't change and just turn it over to God before I get to that point. Feels great!
Only took me 40 years to learn it....

I think this is another step in my learning to trust Him completely. I mean after all you don't have a testimony if you don't have trials... I am feeling a lot better. Just a momentary panic, and a new adventure. I'm having issues with getting a job and even wondering if that is His plan for me, or if His plan is for me to be right where I am. Either way SS looks like it's going to mean a lot more to me this year than in the past. He has taken good care of me do far, and provided for us in the most amazing ways in the last few months. I can't wait to see what He is going to do next because when things look bad is when we really see His goodness!!!
