Assuming the only money I receive is my paycheck this Friday, I am $585 short of what HAS to be paid Friday. Im not talking about credit cards bills that can be paid late if need be. Im talking about daycare bills so I can work. Electric bills so I can have electricity. rent so I can have a place to stay. Tithe so I dont bring a(another) curse

You are exactly right- these trials will come to an end. Heaven knows I've definitely seen those days, and I'm praying for you! I'm so so glad that you have people in your life that are blessing you though, that is awesome. (((hugs)))

Thank you! yes you have, and that gives me hope. How are you?? I dont get online much anymore..

We're good! I haven't been online much either, I actually closed my journal about 2 months ago but just reopened it because I missed everyone. :)

But DH is running a business from home and even though it's tight, we know this is the path God wants for us. This has been the first time in years that we've felt this way for sure, and KNOWN that this is the way He wants us to go. Takes the fear out of it. ;)

I really hope things get better for you hon!

Thats really awesome! I know you guys really went through it at times...So do you feel like everything you went through - the moving, the financial trials, etc. was to prepare you for his business?

You know, I really don't know. But I do know it was really a lesson in trusting God. I mean, even during the hardest times we DID trust Him, but now it's like if we hit a speedbump we think "this is nothing!" LOL We KNOW that God will bring us through anything- because He already has. We've been through almost everything and it's brought our faith to a whole new level just having to trust in Him for everything when we have nothing to our name and nowhere to go. Even now my husband starts getting stressed and something comes through (like a sale) and he tells me (even today!) that he always feels stupid for worrying about it because God always has something waiting for us. :) So in a way, yes I guess it was to prepare us for this business. Because without our faith in God I don't think we could make it through- all the uncertainty of where money would come from (it's not like Tom has a boss he can ask for an advance or anything) and such.

Wow. So God put you guys through the school of hard knocks before you started the business and toughened you guys up. That must be what Im going thru now!!
