Today the Lord has blessed me in so many ways. Paul had off today, and my mom was coming over for the afternoon. My mom has been on the East coast for 2 months visiting her sisters. She got into town today, and decided to spend the day with us. 🙂 We will also see her tomorrow for about 1/2 a day before she heads home. I was quite excited about that, but feeling a bit blue about our finances. We are really tight right now, and I just spent the last of our money for clothes for Paulie. I need some clothes, but have not money for it. Plus, as I was sitting having a pity party about it, I was sitting on the ground on the pillow where my glider use to be. Knowing we had no money left, I knew I wouldn’t be getting a chair any time soon either. It was just one of those mornings that it seemed like we had no money for anything, and we were stuck like this with no way out.
I know the Lord will meet all my needs, but I wondered, is a rocker really a need? I mean I can sit on the floor, right? Plus, the reason we are so tight with money is we overspent during the summer. 🙁 When we over spend I always wonder, will the Lord really help us, or because its our fault, He won’t. So all of this was going through my head this morning, as I was waiting for my mom to show up. Then, about 30 minutes before she was to show up, a dear online friend sent me some encouraging words that really lifted up my spirits. I started feeling better, and knew that the Lord was with me regardless of how I felt.
Mom showed up and we all went out for a bit. She took us out to lunch, which was very sweet, then we went to the mall. We were at the book store and my mom bought me a biographical history book that I have wanted for a long time. Then we came home and just visited for the rest of the day. It was so good to see her. She also brought a box out from the East that my cousin gave me. It was full of scrapbook supplies, albums, stickers, pages, lots of stuff.
