I'm so sick of it!! Seriously, it affects how I look at so many things. I hate that adoption is tainted by money. I hate that we are now considering only having 1 child because of the costs of health care. I wonder sometimes why some people seem to always fall backyards into it. While others have to scrape everything they have together just to get by.
In the midst of my frustration with money, I am putting my trust in God. The only reason I am sharing this you all, is to keep things real. If what I am feeling right now, can help even one person, then it's all worth it.
Here's a few scriptures I read and focus on when I am feeling this way.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6. in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
11.For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Psalm 136:3, 13
O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. . . .
These all remind me, that HE is in control. It doesn't matter how much money is in the bank, or what is going on around me. God knows me, and what is good for me. Even if it's not what I would choose. I put my life and trust in His hands. He is far more capable then I.

(((BIG HUGS))) Mama! I SOOOO know your frustration right now & am in the midst of it myself. Those are awesome scriptures that I try to always remind myself during tough times!
I have learned to rejoice in this too. For if it wasn't for the trials that we are put through, we wouldn't grow closer to our heavenly father and learn to lean upon Him 100%.
Love Ya Girl & know this too WILL pass!
We are living day by day as well, it's hard not to think about $ but it's needed to survive :( Hope this makes you feel better but you are not alone. (((hugs to you)))
