Thank you Lord!

I have been vocal about my husbands job, he has been without one for over 3 months. God has blessed us profusely and allowed us to tread water and pay all of our bills with unemployment. The blessing is that the unemployment is substantially less than half of what he would normally make and 1/5th of what he made last year.

We have had such a wild ride with this past year and his job. He has had so much overtime that we were able to pay some bills off, pay for over 7 thousand dollars in car maintenance along with other things.

When Chris got laid off, God gave me peace.

We trimmed the fat off of our budget, no Direct TV, no gym, Netflix -streaming only. It might not sound like a miracle but it is very much one. Had this happened at any other time would be drowning with truck notes and everything else.

My friend 'needed' me at the shop more to help pay for stuff(I put the quotes on because I think they were just being kind and allowing me to work some to get a little extra money), extreme couponing caught my attention and has allowed me to cut our grocery bill down to 25 to 50 dollars a week for a family of 6. We had a crazy garage sale in which we went to sell 2 kayaks for 300 and ended up selling them for 450. We also sold the one that we didn't have for sale. While a friend of mine is trying to sell hers cheaper than what we sold ours and hasn't gotten any queries . We started up a little business to keep my husband busy and now we have 3 stores selling Top Knots. Tell me God is not guiding our path and taking care of us! I am just in awe that He still cares about the little things.

Thank you Lord, You have provided for us and given us peace through the process. When we had weak moments You reinforced us. Thank you. Now, can you pretty please show me where my Bible is?
