Psalm 77:1 - 3

"I cried out to God with my voice -- To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled. I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed." Psalm 77: 1 - 3

Day 60 & 61 - Trusting in the Lord


My work situation is bizarre still. The official job vacancy was "opened" so I could apply. Only the rate of pay has dropped siginificantly...$10,000 per year, to be exact.
It's goofy and strange and a REALLY long story, but I'll shorten it up. I was brought back on with this position after our business bit the dust. I was hired very quickly as a "temporary" employee earning a wee bit lower than when I held this job before our adventure into owning our own business. The pay structure shifted while I was gone...so now I'm stuck with the current offer on the table, as stated above.
That just won't work financially. I mean, currently I have $20 left over after every paycheck. So to drop $10,000 annually simply won't work. I'll have to find something else...which I've been looking into...but all avenues seem to be road-blocks. Argh!
But I spoke with my employer who will try to get a pay exception...it's a bit iffy.
I have moments of nausea and nervousness...but for the most part, I wake up, get dressed for work, pray, and trust in the Lord.
I have to trust in Him. I've asked Him to lead me and guide me. So the reason for this bumpy road back down the mountain and into the safe meadows below doesn't terrify me...but it does make me wonder "why." I already know the answer. It doesn't matter "why." It just IS. So I will trust in my God...
