I'm starting to really stress out about money. Mine and Michael's cars have needed some work done to them and it's ended up costing a lot more than we had planned. My uncle was able to work on my car for minimum cost, but it wasn't cheap, but now Michael's car is needing struts and tires...luckily, his sister works at Les Schwab and can get us parts and tires at cost with no labor. However, it's still going to cost us around $500 or more. His tires are really bald...and it's a necessity and so are the struts of course, but I'm so tired of this. I get everything figured out, we get our tax return, pay off some stuff, get rid of payments just to turn around and have more. We are NEVER going to get ahead. Sara just called to tell me about his tires and now I'm stressed out to the point where I'm exhausted and my brain won't work. Just within the last 10 minutes...I don't know what to do anymore. We are never going to get a house...we are never going to be able to spend money on things that we want that aren't always necessities. If someone has an answer or knows what we could do, please...let me know...because I'm at a loss....I give up...

Very tough place to be... We will be praying for answers for you. The only advice I can suggest to you when dealing with financial struggles is to know that all the resources you have are God's. He knows what you need, so try, in the best human way possible, to let Him show you how to spend His money...
I wish I had more answers, but the real question I ask myself in times like this is, "How can I have peace in this situation?" Rather than "how can I change my situation..." We will always have issues with work, money, friendships, etc... I encourage you to seek peace from Him in spite of your struggle...
We will keep the three of you in our prayers. Sorry you are hurting right now.
Love you guys,
Keith
