So I got paid yesterday and couldn't for the life of me figure out where all the money went. The ironic humor that it was April 15th was not lost on me.
I paid the bills I could and tried to be grateful for what was left, even though it was not enough. I was too tired to fight it out in my head or with a calculator. I went to bed praying His grace would indeed be sufficient.
What to my wondering eyes should appear today but my check stub (I have direct deposit) and on it is the missing piece - $145 was put, BY ME, into my flex plan for day care. With a V8 smack to my forehead I am grateful to still be hanging onto the edge, as opposed to being thrown over it.
God is good. And flex plans aren't for dummies.
Blessings,
Carolynn
PS, I miss you, all of you out here in the blogosphere. I will try to come up for air more often. Weeks like this makes me feel like I'm held below the water, but dang I'm grateful His mercies are new every morning, Amen? Love, C~

Windows of heaven...
Such a blessing when money "appears."
God is surely good, my friend!!
In recent years we've had the expenses of Seminary and adoption on top of our regular bills. By the Lord's grace the $$$ thing has always worked out. God is SO good.
Thinking of you!
Been missing you too!
I know you are busy and feeling overwhelmed, but we're still here. It's still good to hear how your are doing.
Keep the Faith...I'm still praying for you.
Love you!
Glad you are back and still hanging on to that ledge. :)
That rocks! I love it. Hang in there, lady.
You can come up for air anytime and your post will pop up and we'll all smile and click... anytime :)
I, too, am so thankful that His mercies are new every morning. Otherwise, I'd be up a big ol' creek.
Thought of you tonight when I watched the movie Australia for the first time. Didn't you mention a time or two how much you loved the movie? LOL ♥
Now that sounds like something I would do... forget I had done... and need the V8 smack in the head too!
Glad you "came up for air" hope you can come around again soon!
Glad to know you're hanging in there. With God's help, you will make it through, and I promise you will see better days. Your God is the same one who parted the Red Sea, shut the mouths of the lions, and performed countless miracles in unexpected ways. I look forward to hearing more testimonies of how he provides for you!! (Even if they do seem like V8 moments.) =)
I miss you too. I think of you often.
Glad you found that missing chunk!
Bless you! Hang in there!
Keep hangin' on, Ms. Carolynn, you're doing great! Check in when you can...
=)
