We just found out that what we thought was a 45 day time frame to get our car fixed and reinspected is actually a 30 day. The page says that if it does not pass inspection by 30 days (which is Monday btw) they could pull our registration. There are a few things to fix, like it needs a new tire, a new driver side door and the front needs new brake pads and the back needs new drums. CR can work on some of these things himself, but they take money even if you fix it yourself. We are desperately trying to get into the new house BEFORE baby gets here in 6-8 weeks. Which means we are saving for utility deposits. That in itself is not going well.
CR is working like crazy at his new job and we are so very thankful for that!
I am overwhelmed and sick thinking about both of these things that seem so unattainable and are so very necessary.
On top of that, the holidays wanting to claim our finances, though I have been good thus far and not spend anything. Everything has been homemade. I am running 90mph trying to get all the projects done so everyone will have a nice Christmas. Really, I would like to just skip the holidays this year as they hold No joy for me.
Please pray that I would remember to be thankful for CR's new job and that I would remember too, that God will provide even if it isn't in the time frame that I think He will.
I know everyone is having money struggles, so I really have nothing to complain about as we are all paddling the same boats, but please if you would pray for me. I am so sad and so stressed out. :(
hugs,
Jessie

Jessie, I know its easier said than done, but, "what doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger", and God only gives you what you CAN handle. You and your are in my prayers.

Jessie, ya'll have been through so much lately. This is just one more hurdle for you to get over. I know ya'll will make it. And it's hard to believe that baby will be here so soon. It seems like you just found out you were pregnant.
Hugs and prayers coming your way.

Kris-- I was just telling CR that today. I am 31 weeks and usually only go until about 36 weeks before baby comes. It seems like this pregnancy has just flown by. Thankfully, with no serious complications this time as were with the other two. I can't wait til Baby Charlie gets here.
Thank you all for your prayers! I hope I can get these mood swings and worries under control. I just keep praying for Grace. Trusting is really all we are asked to do. I am still learning. It is so nice to know I can count on all of you to pray for me as I continue to learn!
hugs,
Jessie

Trusting is always hardest when we are scared, hurt or frustrated. Prayers out for you and I know the $$ thing and the stress. You are doing great with homemade gifts, I think they mean a lot due to time put in.
Hang in there!

Hey Jess,
We all need grace, thank you for the reminder. Circumstances will come and go, you will walk through this one as well, remembering all that is expected of you is to keep taking one step at a time. Life can throw us sometimes, but grace remains, we realize it is what gets us through this crazy life.
love and hugs girl!!!!!

Thanks Carol Sue and Teresa.
I keep saying over and over to myself, "His Grace is sufficient for me..."
hugs,
Jessie

Aww, bless you. I know how stressful financial worries can be. Try to remember that worrying about it doesnt make it better so try not to stress yourself and the baby.
