Jason and I looked over our finances last night and it was awful. Student loans have been so amazingly awful! We are paying nearly $1000 a month. UGH! (pardon the vent)
So last night was the sad realization that there will be no presents this year and no Christmas tree (this on top of horribly missing friends and family back home). As I was sitting on my couch, crying (and looking at the black friday ads which did not help) I thought of how amazingly selfish I was being. There is a drought in Africa that is killing thousands each day. Americans are hurting all over the nation because they have lost their jobs and can't afford to afford to put food on the table.
We have a roof over our heads, a healthy little girl, I have a husband who loves me, we never worry about food (although we shop CHEAP). I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. God has provided so much for us this year! He has been so faithful!
So moving forward Jason is hoping to pick us some videography jobs (which he has 2 potentially lined up) and I am looking for a part time job, which I am excited about to get out of the house and meet new people. Please continue to pray for us. This has been discouraging for Jason as the realization of our finances has kind of dashed our dreams of buying a house. But, God is faithful!
