Jehova Jireh- God WILL provide!

With the baby coming David and I have been trying to spend as little as possible so that we can save more. We have been so blessed by his job, and have been able to almost reach the amount of "six month safety" in our savings. So that has been a definite blessing! He definitely works so hard to provide for his family and I try to encourage him though it must be hard when little wifey who is not working right now decides she wants more cute baby girl clothes ESPECIALLY since they are CLEARANCE!!!!
Before we left for Croatia I knew that I would have a whole month of no income. The month of July would be a tight month not only because of me not working but also because both of our birthdays are in July. We had prepared ourselves for a smaller budget these next few months until we knew it was okay to expand it out a little more. As the economy worsens so do the available hours at my work. I went from three to four days a week 8 hours a day down to one to two days a week 4 hours each. BIG DROP! On top of my retail job, I was a nanny for two amazing families. One family had to completely drop me because they just couldn't afford it anymore, and the other will be out of town for the next couple of months. At least they weren't dropping me.. I just need to be smart until my income is back.
David amazes me at just how calm he can be about things that may seem a little bit scary. I on the other hand am a Genuine Worry Wart!!!! He prays about it and I make lists of how I can make more money. He waits for opportunities to come and I go crazy researching at home job opportunities. But this time I decided to pray about it. In the crazy days before we left for Croatia I got a phone call. A dear friend had found me a job that I could do part time at home on my own computer... GOD IS SO GOOD!!! This was great, I didn't have to waste gas driving down to Scottsdale, I could work from home AND i could choose my hours to work... PERFECT RIGHT!!! right..... until we get back from Croatia and I get a phone call informing me that they don't need my assistance anymore :( What do I do?! I jump on the phone with David telling him the terrible news and asking what are we going to do? How am I going to make money ?? Once again he assures me that everything will be okay and that God will provide another job if that is what we will need. Of course!! That job just fell into my lap the moment I began trusting the Lord so why don't I start praying again and trusting in His faithfulness?
A few weeks have gone by and we are staying in our tighter budget. God has taught me so much and has really changed my heart towards saving and being disciplined. I am so thankful for that, and I know it helps out my hard working hubby so much more!!!
One last praise to end on. My work is able to schedule me twice a week for 4 hours at a time.. What a blessing, plus I have been able to pick up some side work, temporary nanny jobs. One working with two amazing little girls that I have been with for almost three years, and another working with an adorable five year old. Isn't it amazing how the Lord gives you just what you need at the exact time you need it?! On top of all of this we are now able to tithe so much more towards Josiah Venture. We are honored to bless that ministry while we can not be there... but we still have hopes of going back to Croatia someday!!!
I am so thankful for the jobs David and I have and I am so glad the Lord has reminded me once again just who He is and how faithful He is to answer our prayers!!!
