This week has been an extremely long one. Last weekend we preached in Mattoon, IL came home Monday, 10 hours on the road, to a broken furnace, so my children and Mother-in-law and grandmother had no heat all week and weekend except the fireplace. They survived, thank the Lord. Got up Tuesday and went to get the Expedition that was supposed to cost ONLY $200. and it ended up costing $525. I worked like a dog (on dogs) and then yesterday they finally got the part in for our furnace he came and put it in. It ended up costing $422. Then this evening we were on our way to pick up the preacher that is preaching for us tomorrow to take him out to dinner and the Expedition, that I just had fixed won't start. Then to top it off, we pulled out on Highway 18 and the van's transmission slipped 2 times.
I know it rains on the just and the unjust, but this is ridiculous. I think the devil is mad and is attacking our finances, because I have had some issues with trusting in this area. (notice PAST tense) It could also be the reason I'm up at 1:30 in the morning.
I'm asking you to pray. Not so much that God will "get us through" because I know HE will. I'm asking you to pray for me and my faith. I want to trust the Lord to take care of us.
I told God today, "Ok, I've paid my tithes and my offerings and I've done all I can to "physically" take care of the situation, so I'm leaving it up to YOU." And I have tried to do that, but as Moma, I see so many things that need attention and I'm trying not to worry and fret. My husband teases me and says, "Don't worry about it, God's got it under control. And she (speaking of me) says, Well, somebody needs to worry, you and God sure don't."
He's actually sleeping and snoring away in the other room. I'm jealous.
So again, I'm asking for prayer for me and my faith. I've seen God do some mighty mighty things, and I just don't want to have to battle with fear and unbelief.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, I'm done whining now!!!!
