Panic Mode

Wednesday, August 17, 2005

This morning I emailed my mom a panicky email about money. At least once a month I have to go into panic mode and worry about money. Basically it goes something like this: "How will we ever buy a house when we don't have enough money to pay our bills now..." Then I start hyperventilating and brainstorm on getting a second job. Yep, pretty much every month it goes like that. Of course my mom and Josh are always reassuring and both reminded me this morning that we've had A LOT of expenses because of wedding stuff. Here is my mom's email back this morning:

First of all, please don't start panicking. Let's discuss the money issues and a second job over supper tonight. Okay?

Where God guides, He provides.

For those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

For I am the Lord, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you,
Do not fear; I will help you.

Do not worry be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I love you!!!

I know it'll work out but it doesn't stop me from worrying. Luckily I have people like Josh and my parents in my life to keep me from going off the deep end. Weekly advice from the Momma...just a day late this week.
