trusting

So remember this post which ended in me saying

"So, here we are. We are a family of 5 trusting the Lord with our finances."

Well, here's an update:

Why is it so hard for me to trust when I KNOW that the Lord provides. I tried to convince myself that I was being a good steward by working and helping out financially. Really, deep down, I was not trusting. I was doubting. 

Well, my husband sent me a drop-to-my-knees-and-thank-the-Lord text today. Bryan will be starting a new project in The Dalles in September. Since this is a one and a half hour commute, the man is getting a per diem and gas card to help cover the costs. Bryan told me this when he found out he'd be going to The Dalles, but I really didn't think that much of it or hope for much.

The Lord certainly provides because between Bryan's per diem and the cost of gas being covered, well, that pretty much covers my loss of income. Explain that. 

Oh wait, you can't because it's all the Lord's work. We can't explain such things. 

A big Amen is in order here!

Thanks for sharing, I often find myself doubting instead of trusting but God provides! I have been reminded of that lately too. We need to catch up soon I plan to call in the next few weeks:)
