When I do our budget I frequently see red too, but God always provides! <br /><br />Our budget as been tight the last couple weeks and so we don't have any "fun" money. It's nothing to complain about but it's not the best feeling. But this weekend my in-laws offered to treat us to lunch. And my husband who really wanted to see the Avengers movie this weekend got an unexpected rebate check in the mail, which was just enough to cover the cost of the movie - he's out now seeing it with some friends. <br /><br />It's nice hearing about other people small blessings - thanks for sharing.Rachel Kaylynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114768437192098372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7997704762385006362.post-29026542355617365042012-05-06T10:00:13.287-04:002012-05-06T10:00:13.287-04:00I can totally relate to this!

And God is reminding you that he's got your anxiety-over big & little things! Blessings abound! <br />Thanks for blessing my morning. I needed to be reminded of His control over everything. <br />And, HI! I'm visiting from Meet&Tweet link-up.

But lately I find myself almost obsessed over it and that is not good. I am praying and trying to trust more. <br /><br /> The house in the country is our dream too and sometimes I think it will never happen, we can't live on hubby's income alone so I work and we really are well provided for and yet I am discontent over having to work....

We are taking money out of savings each month, as our income does not meet our bills (my husband is a massage therapist, and is working at building his business - we are getting there, but many days I spend time wishing we would get there faster....HA.), and while I am grateful for our savings, I worry about what will happen when it is gone. Silly me, God will provide.
