SUPER BAD DAY :(

Well, kids, today I had a really bad day. As probably most of you know, I've been struggling a whole lot lately with money. It all started last summer when I stopped getting paid for a while (just 'cause the lawyers weren't paying my office) and it just hasn't really let up yet. The day after Christmas my car got hit in a parking lot and the other driver drove off and left me with $2,600 worth of damage, of which I had to pay $1,000 for my deductible. Needless to say my deductible is now $250. So I finally get that paid off and things are going okay and I'm finally starting to get some of the little things paid off like my hospital bill and doctor's bills from last year when today AS I'M PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT at the Posey County Prosecutor's Office in Mt. Vernon, Indiana, my brakes go out in my car and cost me $300 to get them fixed. Right now I'm just feeling like it's never going to end. I feel like just when I start to get my footing that Satan throws another round of something at me again. Man, this sucks.

However, in the midst of all this, I was supposed to go to Evansville for a night out with my friend Melissa tonight, so I had to call and cancel on her. But as I was talking to her she started asking me about when the brakes when out and how awesome it was that they were able to pick up my car and get it fixed and ready for me to drive home in less than two hours, and I just realized that God had been there with me all along. It had been one of those trips from Evansville to Mt. Vernon where it seemed like everyone was either cutting me off or stopping short. In fact, not 15 seconds before I heard my brakes pop a big truck stopped short right in front of me and I had to hit the brakes to keep from going into him. God was right there. He waited until I was going about 5 - 7 miles and hour and had the presence of mind to hit my emergency brake to let my brakes go out.

While God was there with me and me now finally realizing how awesome it was that His hand was always in it, I'm still struggling with this issue of money. I have bills due next week that I'm probably not going to be able to pay all of now because of this, and it's so frustrating. Until the last four or five months my credit was spotless. Not that I'm too worried about it, 'cause once I get out of debt Dave Ramsey says I'll never need credit again....LOL!!

Anyway, I just needed a little time and space to vent. Thanks for reading and listening. I would love to hear from any of you now that I have my comments turned on...lol.

bye bye for now
