November 04, 2008 Finances: How has Jesus helped you
Oh I just love these conversations! You all have such valuable things to share. Thanks to everyone for making a difference in my life. My husband and I have had a lot of financial challenges in the last couple of years. We got caught up in all the mortgage problems plaguing our country. We lost our home and had to move into something smaller and cheaper that we are renting. I was devastated. Our credit report tanked and that caused me all kinds of sleepless nights. But just like God, he turned it all around for our good. We were able to make some changes and now we are in better shape than ever. I came to realize that I was trusting in our jobs (we both work), our home and our credit report more than we are trusting in God. Now that my world was turned upside down and we came through it and life is still good, I learned that God really does love me. God really is taking care of me. He is involved in my life. He is doing things unseen everyday. When we were in control of our life, it was hard to experience God’s goodness. But, when our lives were shaken, there was God right in the middle of it taking care of us. I learned that when I trust in God, it releases him to do miracles in my life. Now I don’t want to experience difficulty any more than necessary but I know that God works all things for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purposes.
