This year has been a financial struggle for me since starting a new business. I had hoped to have more money saved before branching out on my own but when God says go. you go. I figure that I have grossed a little less than half than I made last year but the start up expenses have well eaten into that figure. I have managed to pay my tithes and keep up with my bills but I have had to let many personal needs go as things are tight by the end (or the middle) of the month.
So now I'm trying to catch up with some needs to at least keep enough confidence to go out on calls. Yesterday I got my hair cut and colored after over three months between visits. I need glasses but that will have to wait because I had to buy new software for my landscape program. I am going to the doctor because I have been out of my medication for over a month and as with many small business owners, I don't have insurance now. I am looking in to going to work for a clothing store through Christmas so I can have an opportunity to replenish my wardrobe that has been sadly neglected.
All of this has been a walk in faith but being in obedience to the Lord has its own rewards. I know that He is my source and He will take care of me no matter what the circumstances may look like. I had a word of the Lord last week that He is 'tweaking' me and I am confident that He will do a quick work in me so I can reach the other side. I will learn to be joyful in both good times and hard times because, after all,I am a princess in the kingdom of God.
