everything happens for a reason

I know you have heard the saying - everything happens for a reason. Well that rings so true for me today. Unfortunately hubs got laid off work. But...it is only a temporary two week layoff. The downside is that hubs drew the shortest straw and he goes first starting Monday. Hopefully his turn will not come again.

After hearing this news I opened up our finances to re-evaluate. As it turns out, I made a double car payment in January and didn't know it! So we have no car payment due until next month. All this time since January we have been tight on money and saving as much as we could and this we didn't even need to! But I'm so glad I did because now in a time of layoffs we can get by!

Praise God!!!
