Today I had a wonderful date... with my roommate Sarah Joyce! We got pedicures, had great talks, visited a garden/her boy friend's design project, and went to Good Berry's for frozen custard. Yum!
The only yucky part of my day was realizing that my CPR had expired, telling my employer, finding out that I could not come back to work until it was fixed, paying to take a course online, studying, taking (and passing!) the test, calling my employer, arranging to come in tomorrow to get the second half of the test taken care of. Yikes! I have to make a few phone calls tomorrow too to try to get everything squared away. I did not mean for this to happen.
Also, I feel like I have spent so much money today. I had to buy textbooks, renew my yoga instructor certification, buy new shoes, pay for CPR, and pay other bills. I have enough to pay for all of it, but there is still something about spending money that makes me uneasy. What a necessary evil it is! I want to trust in this area of my life.
You're doing great. God Provides. Remember that. You're building a career where you will always have work. He's showing you the way to take care of your finances. None of us are alone. We all get through life with the help of one another. And that's the Truth with a capital T.
ReplyDeletemy key to handling money is to keep what you need in checking for that month- rent, utilities, emergencies, food, etc, and put the rest in untouchable savings like a 36 month CD. so even if it feels like you're spending a lot, just don't overdraw, and you can know that there's some hiding elsewhere.
