Trusting in God

It's weird or so it feels, to completely trust God to provide for your financial well being. I thought that might be the case when we first got married and it was. Not that big of a deal. Give it a few years of working and everything falls into place. That sort of happened for us, then I decided to switch careers and that flopped. Then I couldn't find a job so I did the temp thing for a while and started working nights at FedEx. Then I was hired as a courier at FedEx. I will be going to school July 5-6 and July 18-29 in Metarie, LA, and Irving, TX. Sarah is working this week with the new private group. That will help a lot. She is slowly building her clients there and will work again in Huntsville when school starts up. She will work during the day and I will afternoon/evening. If you currently put our two checking accounts together I think the accounts combined would be $0.00. That's the scary part for us. It's hard not to be in control or have enough money to buy your kid's small things when they want them or when you want to get them something. It also sucks because I would like to buy Sarah flowers to help take her mind off the situation but it's hard to do that also. It's hard to be content when see other people doing what they want and you can't. If we didn't have kids it wouldn't be as big a deal to me. I realized that I am failing at providing because I can't pay our bills and I might have to ask my parents for money. I don't want to do that but we might have to. I have enough to pay the bills to keep the house going but not enough to pay the mortgage. Please pray for us to make enough money to pay our bills through the summer. When school starts again we should have enough money to pay for everything again.

I'm working

I received the phone call yesterday from Rej, my FedEx boss, to inform me I was getting a courier position. I was told I will get an offer letter either today or tomorrow. Once I accept the job I will have about 40 hours of computer training, defensive driving school (because of my DUI), and then courier school. I think all of this will take 2-4 weeks, but I don't know. I was told this will be a pick-up route which starts around 3:30-8:00. We will have insurance again and I won't have to work at the temp agency anymore, unless I want to. Thanks for all of your prayers, donations, and love.

My brain fart of the day: The SEC schools are having a challenge to see which school can get their alumni to sign up for a G.O.L.D. card. If you love those piggies, which you all do, sign up for your gold card so we can win in something other than track.

I can't believe I'm doing this...

Well, if the Kelley's are doing it it must be time for the McGooden's to do it too. But, updates aren't promised as soon as we are a true working household again. For now, we have some free time so let's have at it! If nothing else, we can post pictures of our crazy crew. You can keep up with Max's growing height and Grant's growing belly.
