Vacation Time I Wish!

Boy do I wish I could take a vacation. Times have been hard the last 8 months for us, so I am looking forward to having some income coming in again. Being without a chicken contract has been tough, but it sure makes you look at the way you handle your finances. It has made me re-evaluate how we spend our money. I have decided that we need to put back at least 6 to 8 months of income just in case something unforeseen happens. We have been living on our cattle income for the last 8 months and it is dwindling very fast now, but I know that God will see us through, he always has. Matthew 6:25-34 always comes to me during the times that I begin to worry. It is a comfort to me to read these scriptures. Just knowing that God is telling me to not worry that, my heavenly Father knows what I need and he will provide. If we will just have faith and let God handle things then we would be a lot better off, but as humans we want to take care of things without having to bother him. I always think that my problems are so insignificant compared to what other people are going through, but God loves all of us and my worries and concerns are just as important to him as the next person. I just have to work on giving it all to him and having more faith that he is in control and it is all in his hands anyway.

But I do want to go on a vacation soon. I am hoping that sometime in July or August Wayne and I can take a trip to see Yellowstone National Park. I have always wanted to go there, but just keep putting it off. Actually I love going to the beach more than anything, but the older I get the more I want to do those things that I have always wanted to do. So I am going to have to stop procrastinating and just make the plans and go. Wayne is game for anything as long as I do all the preparations. He doesn't like the planning part he just wants to go. I think it would be loads of fun to get 2 or 3 couples together every year and go somewhere new each time. What a lot of memories we could be making. Anyways, that will have to wait at least for a few more months. We will just have to get through one day at a time with God's help.

It is a beautiful day out there today so get out and enjoy the sunshine, and sometime today, smile at someone or do something nice for somebody because you never know, you might just make someone's day. Remember also that God Loves You!
