For the past few weeks, life has been full steam ahead. I worked more in the month of May than any other month, which feels SO good. I have found such satisfaction in working and getting a paycheck. For many years, I felt trapped and never knew what I had or how much there was in the account to buy groceries. That has all changed.
Is there a budget? NO. I have five kids and have yet successfully to figure out how to stick to a budget. I make a plan but then suddenly someone needs something and my plan falls apart. I am learning to go with the flow and for now, it works.
I do not freak out over money. We do not have a ton and oftentimes, bills pop up and I do not have a dollar to my name. Then suddenly I randomly check my bank account and lo and behold, there is money in my account. Those are always the moments when I know God is providing.
Because I work for about twenty different companies, my pay comes from twenty different companies randomly throughout the month. It can be a little inconvenient but I am learning to adjust, not worry and trust God for all things.
It will take some time for me finally to get to the place where I no longer have to have the help of my parents to survive. This is a new thing for me. It's just me and five kids. Most people go from home, to being married and then the kids It's a bit tricky suddenly going from having your financial needs taken care of by a spouse to being alone with five kids and no money.
I count it a blessing to be doing what I am doing at the moment. The pay and hours are good and soon enough I have faith that God is going to take care of the rest. Until then, I will continue to praise God for His faithfulness thus far.
