Thoughts on Life This Morning

It's the morning after the fast has ended. I have been up for an hour and some working on bills and taxes.

Taxes:

For the past two nights, I was awakened--I believe by the Lord--and reminded, with an URGENCY, to get my taxes in order. This means that I have to figure a payment system for what may be, I shudder to learn exactly, an approximately $6000 tax bill from last year.

We don't have the money, but I trust God to help me figure out a way that the payments can be made so we reconcile this debt within the coming year--including the payments we will owe for the coming year.

Night before last, I woke up with such stress over it that I just turned over onto my face and pillow and said, "Lord, I trust you. Show me what to do. Show me how to do this."

And I believe He has given me a strategy.

So now, come Monday, I will be putting that strategy into effect so we can work on paying the massive debt we have to the government.

My job/s:

I am thankful, so thankful, for my job. And I will do all I can to work harder than ever and be better at all of my jobs and duties as a wife, mother, teacher, church servant. I need to get things in order. I feel an urgency to get everything in order.

------------------------------------

And so this day, I embark on life "post corporate fast 2012" and I am seeking God about what I need to do now and in the future to get my affairs in order to be able to go on another missions trip--this time with my family--as soon as possible.

And I pray I can keep up the work out routine and the energy levels I need to sustain me in all of this. Because I feel so much better when I am working out.

I trust you, Lord. In all things, I trust you.
