Where's the light?

This has been a rough week. We had overdrawn our checking account. I've spent the whole week trying to come up with creative ways to come up with some cash. Frank took some children's things to a consignment store that brought us a whole $30. We even took some jewelry to sell it for the gold. that brought a whole $163. Doesn't seem like much when it was my mother's wedding set from her second marriage. I have felt very pathetic this week. Why do we keep ending up here.

On a positive note, We handled the week together for the most part. We were a team. There's gotta be some good in that. I took the late calls, and didn't ignore them. I actually talked to those people. I looked at that pile of bills and sorted through it instead of pretending it didn't exist. Frank wanted to borrow money from our parents. I said 'NO". Not because of pride but because that's the easy thing to do. We need to struggle through this and learn new ways. That's what we've done in the past, this is a new day. Sometimes life can really seem to kick you when your down. But I remind myself that this world is temporary, and I have a Savior who loves me despite my shortcomings.

I've heard of so many horrible tragedies this week, many people have lost loved ones and are hurting deeply. Our problems seem so small in comparison.
