According to His Riches in Glory
I began to iron out some kinks in our budget this evening while Steve is at work. We both have looked over some things lately and acknowledge there is room for improvement and adjustment (especially in this time of waiting until I go full time at work-which will officially happen November 1st)!
I slowly got discouraged and clearly saw that our budget seems pretty hopeless. I called Steve while he was at work and he had a chance to talk for just a minute. I started crying because I had a moment of disbelief, discouragement and uncertainty about how things will pan out, knowing it's going to be a few hard months ahead until we start having a full time income from my job.
He's such a wonderful husband and reminded me that the Lord has, is and will continue to take care of us. *sigh of relief* Simply put, I know. I just don't always focus on God's promises for that provision when it comes down to crunching the actual numbers together.
Shortly after I got off the phone with him, he sent me a text message to encourage me saying, "I love you and it will all be good, pray baby and seek the Lord."
Seek the Lord-that's exactly what I needed to do. I sat down on the couch and started to read promises in scripture about the Lord's provision.
Here are a couple verses that I came across in my time of seeking the Lord-
Psalm 37:5-"Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it."
Philippians 4:19-"And my God will supply your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
Again, *sigh of relief*
The Lord has all things planned out for our future and He already has the plan mapped out of supplying all our needs in the months ahead! I'm reminding myself of that.
I trust that God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus!

He will, Jenny! God will definitely provide :) We've been in your shoes many, many, MANY times, and God is always so faithful. I'm excited to watch your journey with Him grow as you experience Him in new and amazing ways that can't help but provoke worship and trust. When all looks bleak and impossible, God will make a way :) The only way Will is in school this year is because God did just that!
