So yesterday was a good day. DH & I went to our weekly meeting together. Although it's about the business, it's nice doing something, anything, together. Afterwards a few stayed behind for H2O...it's a Christian DVD series. Now don't panic...this business isn't turning into a cult. I'm Catholic so a Christian DVD is perfectly acceptable to me. In fact, it's nice to meet like minded people who are young and not afraid to share their faith. The DVD wasn't long and we had a really nice discussion afterwards. When you think of the world we live in and all the bad that's going on, it's easy to get lost in that fear/hurt/anger/despiration...all those emotions. The same applies to our own personal struggles...you wonder how you'll ever get out of it. But funny...when you have a center to your life, the worry goes away. Not to say nothing bad will ever happen to you, but if you have a source of strength to rely on, the bad times don't seem so bad.

I've shared some of my personal troubles pretty openly...okay, all my troubles. ;) But in the past few months, I haven't talked about it as much. I think it's because I feel more secure about it. Truly, DH & I are in the worst shape financially that we've ever been in. But that's okay, cause "the Lord will provide" and He has. I mentioned this last night, as I have before, about the little birds. The Lord said the little birds don't worry where they're food comes from because they know their Father will provide for them. So why worry? Do you ever notice when things go bad, they eventually end up working out? How do you think that happens? Magic? Call it God, the universe, whatever you want, but there's something out there bigger than us with a plan all their own. There's just one thing I want to leave you with that I heard last night that really changed my perspective about my struggles. "Stop telling God how big your problems are. Tell your problems how big your God is." Way cool.

So, tomorrow I took a vacation day. I'm out for a workshop in the afternoon with 2 $600K+ earners from Primerica and again in the evening. And Friday night 3 guys from AGF (the top investment firm in NA) are coming to talk about RRSP leverage. If you're interested in saving for retirement and getting a $6K+ tax refund, send me a message!
