American Dream
I actually woke up at 10 AM, with the alarm this morning. I slept well.
I had weird dreams, though. I can't remember most of them, but one, I remember a pastor standing before his congregation. I think it was Kenneth Copeland. Anyway, he got into a comedic story of how he and his wife got together. Instead of preaching, he was talking about things that young couples do today when they date. He talked about "sparks flying and juices flowing (and there being more than one kind of juice, if you know what he means)" FROM THE PULPIT! And what was even worse, the congregation was laughing hysterically!
Really? That is not something a preacher should be saying from the pulpit! But it was a dream. And, when I woke up, I determined to remember it so I could write about it.
I had a good day, yesterday. I am hoping to have another good day today. I ended up making $140 on the Spark app and another $20 on Door Dash for gas and groceries.
The Dealership called yesterday. They said," Miss Ponder, we still have not seen your transmission yet. I just wanted to call and let you know that as soon as your transmission comes in we will be working on it. But I also want to remind you, I know I'm beating a dead horse in the head, but your responsible for $35 a day on the rental. And you're already coming up with over $900 that you're going to have to pay so far."
"Yes, sir! I am working on it. I still have the car everything is fine on this end. But this car allows me to work and if I don't work you're not getting that $900. Not to mention I can't pay my bills."
"Understood."
If my car were fixed today, I'd have to pay $770. I don't know where he got that my car was coming up on owing $990. I didn't get the car until February 16. The Warranty paid the first 5 days of it.
I currenty have $871 in the bank after I get paid today. Which means, I'd have enough to pay the rental, but not enough to pay the bills due by tomorrow. ($596) I need to make $495 today to pay all of that. Not happening. But, I already have $139 coming to me next week. That means I only need $396 today to cover all the bills due by tomorrow.
Lord, You are the God who provides. Please continue to make a way for me.
Thank You for the restful sleep I had last night, even though they were not dreamless. Help me to discern the meaning of these dreams.
Keep me safe throughout my day and let everything go according to Your plan. I know Your plan is best.
Be with my children and my lists. Provide for all of their needs.
Bless those that bless me, Lord. Have Grace and Mercy on those who don't.
Lead me, guide me, and show me the way. I am following Your lead, Lord, and I am learning more every day.
In Jesus's Holy Name I pray, Amen!
