It's been a rough few weeks. My wife & I have been struggling financially the past few weeks. I've only taken a few days off from work in 4 weeks to try & catch up financially. Seems no matter how much I work & all the money's gone before we get my next check.
I was at church today & an elder of the church asked me "what do you think Gods trying to teach you with this?" Man, how could I have been so stupid. I learned this lesson a couple months ago. & here I am in the same situation. When I put all of life's stresses on my own shoulders I become overwhelmed & start sinking. The minute I put it on God's shoulders or pray for what it is that I need or want, He provides.
Apparently I'm a slow learner because I've learned this lesson numerous times before. I seem to get into a rut and then try to get myself out on my own. & that's when things get overwhelming & I start to feel like I'm sinking. As soon as I pray & put it in God's hands things get better. I sure hope I learn this lesson this time because I'm so tired. Like I said I've only taken a few days off the entire month of May, & those days were spent visiting a sick relative or traveling for races. I'm dead tired. I can't keep this up much longer. I'm very grateful my elder opened my eyes to what I need to do. I think it'll all be better soon, but any prayers would still be appreciated.

Great post Cody! You know, it's pretty amazing how God can be so patient with us and use others to show us things that we should be seeing! I still don't know how you do it. I'm strugglin right now with the new job and getting enough training and family time in. I need to trust more.. Thanks for the reminder.
