God's financial provision



I've seen God provide for me financially so  many times and in so many ways during my time of singleness. I firmly believe that obeying God with my finances by tithing is directly correlated to His financial provision. I've been trying not to stress about money lately. I've also wrestled with not wanting to work full time yet so that I can be available to the kids. Even when kids are older, having a parent at home after school, if possible, is so beneficial. But working part time certainly makes finances tight. I keep praying that God will continue to provide for me. The following things have come my way within the last two weeks. I've had two people ask me to take care of their pets for pay. I received a reimbursement check from my chiropractor because apparently my insurance kicked in some towards the bill, which doesn't make sense because they don't cover chiropractic care at all. I got new tires and felt scammed and overcharged, so after giving a negative (but polite) review online, the manager called me to come back in and he refunded me some money. Then I sold some old crib bedding that I had never gotten rid of and made some cash.  Little blessing! Three of those things happened within 24 hours.  I love when God wants to show me that He's taking care of me!

Will It Ever Be My Turn?

Will it ever be my turn to be held by a man who is mine? Will it ever be my turn to leave my man a love note or send him a loving text? Will it ever be my turn to be laying in bed with a faithful husband while he's spooning me? Will it ever me my turn to be the girl with my guy's arm around me at church? Will it ever be my turn to brag about the amazing guy in my life to my family and friends? Will it ever be my turn to be the passenger in the car of the guy I love and to grab his hand as he drives? Will it ever be my turn to just be able to be in someone's arms and know we don't have to say anything because we just enjoy being close? Will it ever be my turn to have a man think I'm so amazing that he has no desire to look at another woman? Will it ever be my turn to show off a photo of my man to people who haven't seen him yet? Will it ever be my turn to talk about Jesus with a man I love and know that we are exactly on the same page and want the same things spi

Tears in a Bottle

Image
Sometimes I go to bed crying, but feel like I've had my share of tears over the years. The thing about singleness and crying in bed at night is that nobody is there to even know you are crying. I remember looking for something under my bed one day and seeing tons of wadded up Kleenex. This has been a rough 10 years. It's lonely feeling that way. Psalm 56:8 says "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." Why?  What is the purpose of that?  I picture a room full of bottles of my tears. I guess it's a reminder that He cares about every tear that falls down my face. When I'm alone at night crying, He is there.  He cares. He hurts with me. Thank you God that with you, I'm never alone.

Physical Touch

It's not something you really think about unless you're single...nobody really ever touches you.  I think it becomes easy to take physical touch for granted when you have somebody in your life. But when you don't, days go by without anybody even hugging you. Before I got married, I wasn't super big on physical touch. I learned to be more that way in my marriage, but I almost feel like I taught my kids not to be very affectionate because it wasn't my primary love language. My kids are around daily. But we don't hug all that often. I don't like it. Sometimes I don't even think about the lack of physical touch I experience until I go get an innocent massage. Someone touching my arm makes me realize that nobody ever really does. It's another part of being that I don't really enjoy, I guess.
