So, in the land of crazy, not much is happening right now. Sorry for the silence but unless you'd enjoy a story about fighting to get the brakes fixed on Miss June's hoopdie, I got nothin'.
Sort of.
My life is still a mess; moreso than it's been for a while. I can't remember a time in the last two years that money has been this tight. Hopefully, some overtime will correct that situation and I can get caught back up. Hopefully. I've really been watching my spending and I should have just enough to pay what needs to be paid and just enough for gas to work for the next five days. I have to work tomorrow. I don't want to. I HAVE to, and not by edict of my employer.
So thankful for that opportunity. It's gonna pay for some used tires for my truck. Just enough to get by. That's all I need.
I did manage to spray the apple trees just now. The pool is cleaned out and I rinsed off the filter. It's good to go for another couple of days. Payday is just around the corner, and after the dentist and tires for the car, that should be the end of unexpected bills for a while.
I'm learning a lesson about reaping and sowing in life. It's kind of the theme for the day. Sometimes it's hard to keep going when it seems like you're always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, mostly through no fault of your own, but I'm reminded of looking at those things in light of a garden. Seeds sown take time. Some sprout faster than others. I planted carrot seeds. they will take three weeks to germinate. Weeds grow fast.
I also don't expect to escape the consequences of my choices and I know that living the Christian life is the hardest thing I've ever done and yet when it comes down to choosing to do things that would satisfy a momentary need, I find the strength to say no. I don't find it on my own and those battles have been raging lately, but no still seems to be winning out.
That's what God can do in your life. It seems that when my faith gets weak (and sometimes it does), I have the strength to overcome those moments and turn to God. There was a time I never said no to anything I wanted. I spend a great deal of time denying self these days.
It's a hard thing to do.
The garden grows. It needs to be weeded. It needs to be mulched. It needs a lot of things I don't have right now. I will get there. Slowly. But with things calming down, I will have the time. Ibuprofen will help with the physical pain.
I hope.
Well gang, that's all for me on this beautiful Friday. Hope you're having a blessed day!
