Dizzy

Somewhere...somehow...sometime along the way, we became much to dependent on two incomes. I cant say we have ever become comfortable on two incomes, but we definitely have felt as if we had to have it. Medical bills keep rolling in, unexpected tax bills, and the desire to see family that are not within driving distance have all kept us pushing forward. The plan was for me to work full time one more year, and cut back next fall if I needed. Then came a four year old who asked questions like "Mommy can we look at the grass under the microscope to see why it cuts us?", and an infant with a rare illness, and the next thing I know I am shouting "I want off this ride!"

God often speaks to me through music, as I know He does to many! I love Tal & Acacia, the new group of sisters that are doing their first tours right now. One of their songs rolled my feelings into a nice little capsule that made me realize I was not alone, and not a failure. There are just simply not enough hours in the day, and something had to give. When God entrusted these children to me, I promised I would never make that something them. So this week I started the process of cutting back a full semester and one month earlier than anticipated. The hardest hit will be the bank account. But I am confident that the Lord will take care of us. He always has.
