Always Learning

We got our first round of mail here yesterday. We have been very short on funds, having left a job for an internship with $600/month income. I jokingly asked Rob if there was a random check for us. Turns out we had bills. And more bills. $700 worth. Plus the credit card with our insurance and such needed expenses to pay. Totaling almost $1000. Yikes! We thought we had paid it all off!

I was trying really hard to accept it and trying to think about how we can pay it all off and still eat. I was trying to depend on God. I know he has things under control, but I don't! When it comes to money (and money for food especially, because I LOVE to eat) it is really hard to put my trust anywhere. I was praying for God to help me trust Him.

So today during Rob's lunch break, he called 2 of the places for bills (medical and dental). Both places had a balance of $0!! Almost $400! So we have one more to call about. I am praying that it is lower than the stated amount. If not, I am ready to accept that. God will get us through it. He is still teaching me to trust. I think it is a lifelong lesson... I wish I could grasp some of His lessons easier! I am just very glad He is patient!
