The Lord blessed me last night with the opportunity to chat with Scabs. She helped me brainstorm about boundaries and parachute packing - and actually, she did most of the brainstorming. We realized as we brainstormed how our parachutes may be different, but yet oh so necessary. I am now continuing my efforts to search for ways to make some extra income while expecting. I am realizing that as difficult as it is for me to set aside even $5 a month - I must - for my parachute's sake as well as my sanity. She reminded me the people I have in my corner, made me realize I need to brush up the old resume, learn how to rely on people when I need them, and be a little more handy around the house - speaking of which - maybe I should start with figuring out how to get our printer to work again.
So, today - I have committed that the money I get babysitting for a sister in the ward next week - will be my first funds in my emergency stash.
Is your parachute packed? If not, are you working on it? How so? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I'm so happy that this is all making sense to you. And i feel super flattered that you lump me into you amazing blessings! really?? you've got your boundary and your parachute...starting to pack it. I'm proud of you!
