TRUST

You may or may not know this, but my word for this year is TRUST. I feel like God is really teaching me how to rely on Him. A major step in the journey has been taken. I received my very last paycheck for the year (or more) last week. Although, I still have three days left of work, I will not get paid for them.

Money is a security blanket for me. I like to have a stockpile for emergencies. I like to know that I don't have to worry about... so, I worry about it.

I am not someone who needs a lot, just enough to feel safe. What is enough? I have no idea, but I have a feeling I won't have it for quite awhile.

I will be living off of my savings for the rest of this year, at least. It isn't a small amount, but I really need to plan to make it stretch the entire two years since I have no idea what is going to happen. Frugal, I am good at. It's just that constant worry that gets me down.

TRUST. A concept I need some practice at.

I believe that God has called me to this place (I.E. DC). He has provided for my every need in preparation (Housing, Tuition, Church, Contacts...), and I have no reason to think He will not continue to take care of me. He promises He will.

So have a little FAITH, LAURA!

Anyway, three more days of work and then I do not have to get up at 6am to get ready for work, I do not have to drive 45 minutes into Wilmington to the office, and I do not have to spend Sunday dreading the return of the work week... of course, soon enough I will replace those emotions with class... but here's to hopping!
