What is faith?
It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.
Too often I let fear get in the way of faith. It's ironic that it was fear that first brought me to faith but now it's becoming this road block in my life causing tears and sadness.
Money is still stressing me out, especially because I just wrote a check for $172 for the doctor visit today and that's not including the xrays and lab work. It's nice that I can work whenever I want and with my family, that convenience is such a blessing. However, it wont be for long...my family is selling the store and pretty soon I will no longer have this safe job to retreat to. I found this out last Tuesday, ironically the same day that Linda called and told me to go to Australia. She told me to put money and finance issues aside and have faith that God will provide for me in this time of need.
Call me crazy, but I listened. I bought a ticket for $1300 and I am moving to Australia on June 12th. I was terrified to click BUY NOW on the website, but I did it and now it's become so real. I'm moving to Sydney, in three weeks I will no longer be working at PriceBuster, I will no longer be spending my nights with Sandy and I will no longer be answering phone calls or sending text messages from my cell phone. Linda told me that it will cost $560 a month to live out there, which doesn't sound bad, but I wont be getting paid and currently I have about $500 in my account. I'm not even gonna have the funds to last a month...
And suddenly I have this issue with faith because fear is definitely ruling my thoughts. I cringe everytime I have to buy something because money is so tight right now, why can't I just have faith like Linda said. Ugh. I hate money so much but need it more than ever...
