Okay I KNOW that my family aren’t the only ones with worries and concerns about money, the economy and the future but at times I want to just give up because it is one thing after another.

On his way to work my dh's tire totally blew out.  Thankfully he had a spare and he is now driving on that because the $189 they want for a tire (!!! - this little truck is nickel and diming us) is more than we have so we are now saving for that (and the other three are ready to give out too, so we are praying that we can just hold out until the refinance which we are trying to do just to make ends meet).  (It just so happens that this happens the same day that I run out of gas on the side of the road because duh! thought I could make it just a little longer before buying gas ).  Then today out of the blue, my car won't start .  Dh came and rescued me and he thinks it is nothing -- maybe someone left a door open or something and it drained the battery.  I hope so because we can't afford for anything to be wrong with my car too.

So THEN dh drops the bomb that they are closing his store which could be a very good thing or a very, very, very bad thing.  He is hoping to come to the district that is on our side of town so it would be nice if he were working closer to the house BUT this district could actually be a further drive as well, because it includes stores from near our house, all the way to stores down to the next little town which is about 1 hr drive away.  He could get a store that is open 24 hours (with liquor sales and those two factors are scary for night managers) or he could actually get day hours.  He could actually be put in a position that would be the next step up in management which means more hours but possibly make up the pay that he isn't getting because of the no overtime that is in effect (fyi - with overtime he makes more then these “step up” managers do so we have never wanted that because they are salary and his position is hourly and of course salary ends up working waaaaay more hours).

No matter - he still has a job (we hope) and that was the important part so I thought I was okay with it all.  I thought I was turning it over for G-d to handle but obviously not because I am going on two days with nearly no sleep or I don't stay asleep.  I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop even though I don't think I need to worry -- I'm worrying in my sleep.  I prayed for a long time last night but I think I am more worried about the answers that G-d is about to give us than I am about what is happening.  I'm gonna try for a nap and maybe all will be right with the world again LOL

Praying you have no shoes dropping on you but if you do, praying that you trust in the L-rd with all your heart and that they aren't steel toed boots LOL
