But even the very hairs
of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore:
ye are of more value
than many sparrows.
Luke 12:7
A couple weeks ago, I found out that my hours had been cut quite drastically (at least she had taken less class time, which means I had less work). I added up the hours, and it appeared as though I was only going to get about 10 hours of work a week. That means I would only be making about $100 a week. At first when I saw that, I wanted to panic. Yes, living off of $100 a week is very doable, but with grocery and gas prices going up, I would definitely have to be very careful with my money (hey, it might be a good lesson). The reason I wanted to panic most was because I had no idea how I would save up for college (which I will be paying for starting this summer) when I was going to have to use most of that for groceries, gas, car insurance, car maintenance, and paying off my computer.
I told myself constantly not to worry too much about it. My mom told me it would be fine, as did my dad.
Lo and behold, they may be right!
I told Kate, the lady I work for, that I would take as many hours as they would give me, and just in one week I got about 25 hours of work from them! It also sounds as though I am going to be getting close to 20 hours next week!
I love it when I am reminded that I am weak, but that I have a mighty God who does provide. :)
God is good.
