Cast Your Burdens...

Onto Jesus For He Cares For You!

I usually don't share with the blog world about my walk with the Lord, and I especially don't share my struggles....who wants to put that all over the internet?  But, today I figured...why not, after all, someone may be encouraged by me simply typing out what is taking place in my heart.  So, yesterday, our sermon was on Fear and casting our burdens onto God...or that was my take on it.  This series is mostly aimed towards finances which is something I have never learned how to completely give over to God.  Now don't get me wrong...I am by no means a great budgeter either.  I just tithe, pay our bills, spend when I want to, and every now and then use a little discipline when our bank account is getting low.  I know, genious!  So, we (Matt and I) have really been getting excited about learning to be courageously generous with our money.  And, then, last week,  we had to pay our property tax!!!!  So, I am thinking...boy is that great timing on the enemy's part, or what?  So, we decided to go ahead and give our tithes (pat on the back to us =)) and we would have just enough money to buy a few groceries to get through this week.  I hope ya'll are following...

Last Friday, my sweet mom offered she and my dad to watch the girls on Saturday for Matt and I to go to a movie and on a date.  *Insert me trying to rationalize using the credit card to enjoy a much needed night with just my husband.*  That night, I mention it to Matt hoping he will justify this night in the same way I did.  Oh, but wait...Matt has two free movie passes and a gift card to a restaurant.  So, I think, boy, this is working out perfectly.  I didn't think about it until yesterday...wasn't that such a blessing from the Lord?!!!  Not that I was casting my burden onto him...he just sent a sweet blessing anyway.  But, can you imagine if I actually do that?  So.....that's right, there's more!

Just a few hours ago, my sweet mom called again and asked if we wanted to come over for dinner tonight!!  Thank you, Lord, and thank you to my mom for allowing herself to be a vessel.  I mean, really, God Cares For Me...even in the little things.  I pray that we do cast our burdens onto Jesus, and we take notice of these precious moments a lot more!  Just thought I would share.
