Look At The Birds...

"If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to Him than birds." Matthew 6:25-26

I am reading this over and over tonight. I have come to find out the more I trust in God, the more He delivers. However, I still go through trials and times of extreme stress and worry. Like tonight. (This is not a blog complaining about anything...Just letting you in on my worries right now so that in a few days, I can share how God got me through it).
As you all know, I am in school and not working so I'm not bringing in a paycheck. My husband is the one who takes care of us and provides and all of the money runs through his account first and he then transfers enough to me (determined by our budget) to get through 2 weeks at a time. This plan has been AWESOME... up until now. He was on land and I knew he would be getting back on the ship, heading to their next port, on the 30th or 31st of last month. There is 1 computer on the ship that he has access to and sometimes they don't have internet or phone access due to security reasons (I believe). Usually not a big deal as I can handle the time apart-I'm a military wife and I prepare --and I prepared for this. The reason it is a big deal now is that I haven't heard from hubby in a few days (so I'm thinking they're in a 'black out') and today is the 1st. One a pay check to pay check budget-that means the money ran out (ish) yesterday and we have bills coming up this week. Hubby did not prepare. (I will say I told him to create a scheduled transfer to happen at midnight tonight so we wouldn't have to worry about this exact scenario and he said "Oh, don't worry. I'll be able to do that from the boat."---I think I gave Satan an idea by saying it out loud haha-shoulda kept my mouth shut ;) ) Anyway...right now, I am sitting and waiting, unwilling to spend any extra gas or money on anything than I have to. Praying that I will hear from my husband 1) because I miss him and 2) because I need the monay!!! haha. (but seriously).
Though I am worried and slightly anxious, I am handing this to God. My worrying will not lift any "black out" (not sure what they actually call it) or cause him to be able to get to the computer faster. I am waiting in faithful anticipation expectation that God will provide for me, like He ALWAYS does.
No matter what happens, Satan will not get the best of me. I will praise Him. I have a roof over my head and food on the table (and scrubs in my closet haha) and I have exactly what I NEED.

I'll let you know what happens :)
