I wonder how many people actually know what it feels like to barely have enough money scraped in to pay the bills. These days I've had to eat one meal a day (buy one meal at the beginning of the day and eat parts of it throughout the day) so I could try saving money... but it's tough in college. Everyone wants to go out and eat, and I want to spend time with everyone, so I go with them. And so I spend money. And now I don't know how I'm going to have enough money to last me the semester.
It's hard. I know I shouldn't worry about money, but it's hard. I know what the Bible says:
"So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
.... If I worry, that's like saying that I don't believe God will provide.
Yeah.....
God will provide... and in His own time, not mine....
Girl, I know. (And, there are countless more, even though in some places and times it might feel like you are one of the few, if any.) It is so tiring to have to worry about money before deciding to do any little thing. I've been trying to remind myself of God's providence at all times, but it is hard. I'll pray for ya!!
