debt

i am in debt.

i am in SO much debt.

i owe on my student loans
i owe on my car
i owe my mom money for my car insurance and my phone...and a few other things...
i owe a friend some money for a specialproject
and now i owe the government the entirety of my savings account.

sigh.

being an adult sucks! but i guess this is the life of the artist.in.ministry...eternal reward-earthly sacrifices ;)

but God is in control. and i do not need to worry because He loves me even more than the birds of the air and promises to take care of me.

so i will take these lemons that life has given me and i will make some refreshing lemonade with them. here we go...

- i owe on my student loans...but i don't owe near as much as many of the people i know
- i owe on my car...but i have a good reliable car that gets good gas mileage
- i owe my mom money for my car insurance and my phone...and a few other things...and she lets me live in her basement and park in her garage free of charge
- i owe a friend some money for a specialproject...and he is gracious and patient and not on a deadline
- and now i owe the government the entirety of my savings account....at least i HAVE a savings account...

God thank you for your blessings in my life. thank you for providing me with work opportunities where i can use my gifts. continue to calm my anxious heart and remind me of your promises.

Love the second set of "I owes"! Way to look on the positive!

So glad you have jobs you love, where you can exercise your variety of God given talents, and (mostly) be with people who love God too.

He will make a way. He always does.
