This has been a real up and down day. Yesterday was a very good day. I wrote our budget using the guidelines from Larry Burkett and percentages for each area. Our worst area was for groceries so I joined the coupon grocery game (first month free) to find out how a .25 coupon could be worthwhile. They have some great ideas I plan to try to implement.
Then I got a fantastic job offer I found on Craig's list! However, I've had no response from them today and I'm even wondering if the whole thing was a joke.
I may have found some other good news this afternoon but don't want to get excited about it till it's a sure thing. Conclusion: I don't want to get excited about possibilities and then be disappointed when they don't pan out, so instead I will trust in God who is in control and has good plans for us. Wait till you see the awesome scripture God reminded me of for today!

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask OR EVEN IMAGINE, according to His power that is at work within us. Eph. 3:20

Awesome! I'm also reminded of my FAVORITE verse from Jeremiah "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"...Keep the Faith Troutmans!
