Doing something wise with it.

Someone in my hometown won the lottery the other day...I wonder who it was...I wonder if they will use their money wisely that God has given to them. I think of Job who was blessed beyond measure with riches and glory and yet he chose to serve God with his wealth, despite the hardships.
Although finances are sometimes hard God has always supplied for us (My God shall supply ALL your needs according to his riches in glory) and continues to do so. We have been struggling to figure out how we were going to pay for my dental bills for quite a while now. I have put off getting work done for 2-3 years now because of finances. We finally decided we were going to do it no matter what. God intervened via NAVY MARINE CORPS RELIEF yesterday and we were given two checks totalling almost $2,000. This covers the bulk of what I need done. This was such an answer to a prayer and blessing to us that I probably havent' even fully thanked Him enough yet for it.
My parents, bless their hearts sent us some money too to help out with the boys and dental and put towards christmas since we had almost delinquished our account. I am so greatful for loving supportive parents who see a need and feel led to help meet it. Thank you Lord for the parents you have given me and for all the years that I turned my back on them you allowed them the energy and the strength to keep their eyes fixed on you. Bless them for their words and thoughts and kind deeds. May they continue to find favor in your eyes. Amen.

Today I am overly tired and emotionally exhausted. It's been a very long week and I am a little upset at myself for missing about three days of doing my blog but I'm not going to beat myself up over it! God has still been teaching me new things daily and I strive to apply them to my life.

We went to a parenting bible study/life lesson this morning that we are involved in at church andI so enjoy soaking up the info and the experiences from other families and the pastor and Michelle. I love seeing other people's perspectives on things and giving me pointers on how to approach certain situations in behavior, etc. I struggle with comign together with my husband beforehand so that we can back each other up and be consistent. This is definitely a prayer of mine that he and I would get on the same terms and likeminded in our parenting so that it would not cause any more strife. I feel like I am so stressed out with the kids the past couple days, and not because of them but because of the immense arguing Sam and I have been doing. Satan is poking his head in on our business and trying to rip us to shreds right where he knows we struggle and I will be doodlebusted if I am going to stand by and let him do that. It is now that we need to look to God even more for our strength, answers and guidance in this situation.

I keep thinking today is Sunday when in actuality it is only Saturday!!! Was supposed to have someone over tonight to hang out but I am not sure if I can manage it without a good nap.
So, on that note, I am off to lay down and rest my body and mind and spirit.
I trust that whoever won that money is out doing something wise with it and if it were my parents that they send me even more of the "love" soon! lol
