August was a tough month

I didn't post the entire month of August I noted. It was a little hectic. Hopefully everyone took advantage of all the back to school sales. I was able to purchase all of my sons materials for the year for a total of $12. Thanks to my friend Lisa we used all of her son's hand me downs for school uniforms. Thanks Lisa! I also had to re-admit our older child to a program for troubled teens which accounts for my absence last month. We are very grateful to the Los Angeles Dream Center for loving our son, and wanting to help him. We are also very grateful to our friends too who were able to donate towards the admission fee. We had almost $2000 worth of repairs on our truck which wiped out our emergency fund. We have been very blessed by everyone who was able to pitch in and help out. We were also able to help out a friend who lost her home for a month while major repairs were done. This would not have been possible without our food stockpile as there was no extra money to go around. We are very grateful we planned ahead for emergencies and for the good friends who have blessed us as well. God always provides somehow even when we cannot see the solution. I have been very blessed to have steady work, and Ken always seems to get a job when the money runs out. We are almost out of money right now, but once again God blessed Ken with some work today. We need a repair on my car now, but I am confident that God will continue to bless us with the solutions. As much as you can plan for emergencies, never underestimate the power of the Lord to provide the answers as well.
