As a matter of fact, this post reminded me that I did not make the Red Cross donation I had planned to make to help the flood victims. Off to do that right now!!!

God is so good. I try and give in any way I can. Sometimes it is in the form of clothing, cash, or just my time. And I always receive my blessings. Lil something here and there that add up. For some reason the summer has been filled with unexpected expenses for me. Swimming lessons, swimming accessories, summer clothes, camp reg, trips and vacays, the list goes on. I so planned to spend LESS these 3 months. Oh well....God will see me through. Keep blessing and being blessed Single Ma!! Side note: @ Kate - That ain't "luck"......it's God. Recognize. Girl, SPEAK on this!!! God is so good.

God is so good. He has made a way for me to pay my bills and so much more over the past ten years. I have received random checks and money orders from strangers. I have given all I had and still had enough each month. On paper my life does not make sense, but since God owns it all and distributes it all, He makes it work. That being said we make it a priority every month to give back to Him first, because no matter how much we struggle, someone else always has less (especially outside of America.) We have a child we sponser through Compassion and letters from him really hit home to my kids. He does not have much and his family makes $70 a month to live. HOW??? That again is only God!

The times when I have given what I thought was a little too much--just enough to make me uncomfortable, not enough to break me--I started getting back from the world in the most unexpected places. Charitable giving is one of my most favorite budget line-items. I usually give a little something each month, but I haven't given anything since I quit my job last month. This post re-emphasized the importance of giving no matter what (but not to get!) to me. You've inspired me to reinstate my charity this month, even without a reliable income. Thank you, Single Ma.
