Hey girl,

It looks like we’re both in the same boat. I, like you, am now face-to-face with a fog of uncertainty. It’s as thick as pea soup as they say and I’m only able to see one step ahead. Sure, I’ve freaked out a couple of times – fearing that I’ll zip through my savings before I find a job, that Dino will die on me shortly after I arrive in Nashville (in a matter of days!) and that I’ll have to resort to living in someone’s closet to make ends meet.

BUT, in the midst of these fears, in crying out to God, in learning to trust His wisdom, love, care and provision, the fears are SLOWLY being replaced with a peace that seems irrational at best.

My charge for you (and for me) is to continue to breathe in the freshness that comes with each new morning. To bask in His grace and faithfulness. To trust Him (as I know you are doing). And to enjoy this time of COMPLETELY relying on Him.

My office is going to have an opening for a front office gal in the next few weeks. You can move to Phoenix! Though, it would take money to get here….but at least I have a spare room for you :)

i can’t stand the phrase “everything happens for a reason.” someone said that to me about my current work problem. it’s no good. it’s a terrible expression. it is void of meaning.

BUT i think your attitude is great, and i’ll definately be checking your blog for updates.

Annie, I love the new look! I have tried the “don’t spend a single cent all week” challenge. While it isn’t the funnest thing, it is possible.

Just think, if you really are in need of some food, Costco and Whole Foods are always having some sort of sampling going on :)

I don’t do this a lot, but I’ll tell you something I think God told me during my time in prayer this morning.

For people who have placed their trust in Jesus, there are no “good days” or “bad days” because we constantly live in His grace. On days full of wonder, love, and blessing, He gives us grace to enjoy. On days of trials and testing, He gives us grace to endure. Either way, His grace is sufficient. More than sufficient. It’s incomprehensibly good.

I hope that encourages you, friend.

Remember squirrel jerky is always a good, cheap snack . . . lol.

I look forward to hearing/reading about how you creatively overcome your current situation.

You’d might be surprised how many of us are in a similar spot. Praying for you blogfriend. ~ Matt

awesome! I’m doing the same thing with food. Buying nothing new and not eating out until I start getting paid again… which is in like 3 weeks. Gulp.

The good news is – I have a can of black beans and a can of corn… bring over your diced tomatoes and we can make salsa! Now we just need to find some crackers or something to scoop it… :o)
