So does ANYONE else get this sinking feeling in their gut when they think about the economy? Yeah lately it seems that there is no good news. People getting laid off, companies closing, house getting foreclosed upon. Sigh...seems like there is nothing good to see anymore. Politicians promise to fix everything...knowing they CAN'T. Unemployment growing in leaps and bounds. Everywhere I look the view is scary. S T R E S S...
The only things that I have found that work and comforts me is Prayer and reading the Scriptures. I have found in these dark times that when I am the most scared, the most nervous about my husband's brand new Chiropratic office growing, the most worried about whether or not we can afford to raise children with what we make now and the times when I am awake at night worrying about my family...these are the times that talking with Heavenly Father and reading comfort me the most. The situation doesn't change...but my perspective changes and that is what it is all about. If we can change our perspectives from a earthly to a Heavenly view then we will know and feel that all will be well. Heavnely Father loves us and wants us to succeed. He wants us to be happy, and safe, and have families...we just have to remember to remember Him...pray and read...two very simple things that change my life everyday...
There I said it. :)

Thanks Eva! Glad someone did! I can't remember where I heard it, but I've been going by the matra, "You don't have babies with money, you have them with faith." Works for me.
I agree with Catherine. If we had waited for "enough money" to raise our children, we wouldn't have started yet! It can be stressful, especially for my Hubbie, since I stay at home. But, we seem to always find a way to provide for the kiddos and ourselves. It's been tight lately, but it will be ok. I have been a worry wart lately about everything! I always seem to worry more when I'm pregnant...oh well!
