He that made the Universe, can protect teeny, tiny, little 'ol me.I am amazed at his graciousness to my family this year.
It leaves me stunned and staring.
My husband's hours have been cut drastically this winter. He is making less than half of what he usually makes on average.
About five years ago we went through something like this, except..... my husband was getting more hours.
BUT... we were struggling like crazy.
I writhed in panic attacks.
I cried so often.
I worried.
I worried.
I worried!
I wasn't trusting Him, not one bit.
I was praying, but I wasn't believing.
Now before this hour-cut had happened, I had thought about it and asked Him to help me through it. To help me not complain when things got real hard. To help me not get freaked out when money couldn't be spent. To just be at peace and at trust with whatever would happen. I prayed and knew that he would somehow in His infinite- creatorship-way that he would provide for us, only if I would believe that He would.
It's been amazing. I cannot explain how breathtaking it has been.
It's the subtle ways that He provides that amazes me.
Food is there.
The bills are somehow getting paid.
Everything is getting provided for.
I suppose since it isn't your fishbowl, it's hard to comprehend.
But if you can just grasp it, it would throw you, and you would realize how amazing our Creator is.

I'm playing Web Scrabble with Stan--already blew the "no complaining" when I looked at my letters! Good thing there's a do-over option for my new plan!
Loved your mindset on this post, too. Cool how He provides. Mom has stories like that from growing up.
Can you think of a better title for that picture? ;)
It's funny--after every conversation (well, within the past 24 hours), I'm self-evaluating. Did I complain? Do I have to start over?
Also, what makes a complaint different from a statement? Sometimes, it's in the words. But in the tone of voice? And can I complain by physical reaction, body language? Hmm.
Falling asleep as I write. Better go before I get crabby or something... ;)
You _are_ the woman! And a funny one!
