So, I had to go talk to financial aid today. Woah, talk about stressing me out. Right now at this very moment my bank accounts combined, checking and savings, has less than 100 dollars in it. I've used my credit card entirely too much, and Im just - AHH - right now.

Whoever came up with having to have money- goodness. I know it helps to make life less complicating, but it makes me worry, stress, and fret a lot. Lack of money makes people worry, and an excess of money causes people to idolize it. Its like a lose lose situation. I don't know, right now it would be nice to not have to worry about money. I know the Lord is my provider, but I guess money is where I fall. I spend it too often, and when I dont have any I fret and get all worked up over it. They say, "money is the root of all evil.." and maybe its all part of this growing up process, I'm not sure.
I was just sitting here, wondering how I am going to pay my bills coming up, and I was looking at my bank account, and my phone bill and my credit card bill, and it hit me. Why am i worried, I have nothing to worry about. An awesome quote that I found one day says, "I don't know about tomorrow. It may bring me poverty; But the one who feeds the sparrow is the one who stands beside me." [[Stanphill]] Oh boy, this has never been more real to me than it is right now.
Although I fail, He is still right there. Although I make a mess of situations, He is still right beside me.
Goal number 1. No more worrying about money- the Lord will provide a way.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." [[Matthew 6:33-34]]

Joshua Harris and Piper have both preached on this recently. Both the sermons are worthy listening to. If you want the links, let me know?
When a man(Piper) opens by praying "Oh God don't let us waste this recession" you have no idea what is to come. But what was to come was really good.

Good posts kiddo. If it makes you feel better, many are dealing with both stress and money issues but times come and times go. We have had times where we were up and now it's our downcycle it appears. Keep the faith, it all comes around in time.
