Can't help but laugh...

Yesterday I posted about financial stressors, childcare being the biggest one. Today I can say that a better childcare situation has come up and for less money!
The Father is providing in ways that can only point back to his goodness and faithfulness!

To God be the Glory

This semester is CrAzY!
I am taking 12 hours of class.
I am at my internship anywhere from 20-25 hrs a week.
I have started cleaning a ladies house occasionally for some extra money.
I am completely responsible for Conner 24 hrs/day 7 days/wk.
Self-care is not an option, it is a necessity, and usually occurs best after long internship days.

People keep telling me it takes a special person to be able to do all of this. They keep complimenting me on how good a job I am doing juggling all the things going on in my life. They tell me what a wonderful mother I am. It's encouraging knowing that I have people rooting for me. But the answer to all of the compliments on my strength and diligence and intelligence are not for me. To God be the glory.

I truly believe he has me here for a purpose and for this season. Since he has called me here, I constantly remind him that I need him to fuel me with the necessary tools to succeed, and he does. So I'm not some superhuman woman who is able to concur all things. I am a woman who is trying to live a life pleasing to the Father and depending completely on him to get me through each day.

I ask that you would pray with me for my finances. Money is my biggest stressor right now. Daycare is expensive. I don't know where money will come from or how, but I know that God is provider and that I will be able to pay all my bills come December.

Thanks ya'll for all the encouragement and prayers!
