I am determined not to get frustrated when unexpected things come up in life. Well, let me rephrase that...I may get frustrated, the Lord says I can even get angry, but I will not give up or lose hope.
I have made praying more of a priority these days and through that I've noticed I seem genuinely happy more often. Not just getting through...but really happy. Even when we have (what seems like) huge unexpected financial burdens, I console myself by remembering that the Lord will provide and that even if we have to wait on Him longer than we expect, we are taken care of. Money, is an area of my life where Satan knows he can hurt me. I check my balances so often (almost like an addiction) because I want to know that my family and I being frugal and not over-extending ourselves. So when we have to pay to replace car parts or when we have to pay for a teaching course out of pocket if I don't calm down and remember who's really in control I can quickly slip into financial depression.
How awesome it is when we know that even our checking accounts cannot control our happiness. I'll trust my joy to a higher power!
