Debt

Romans 13:8
Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.


I hate debt, but have seen to accumulated some over the past few months:

Mastercard $600 (some stuff needed, some wants)
Kohl's $170 (needed)
Owe dentist $217 (needed)

I also owe for car repairs $570. I am borrowing that money from my home insurance fund (due Nov. 1st)

So I will also owe that fund:
$570 (needed)

$1557 total

YIKES!

The dentist bill is really Josh's dad's responsibility so I am trying to get him to pay that.

I should be able to pay Kohl's off entirely by end of May (used the Kohl's to buy boys new shoes, Jason had completely grown out of every pair he owned, and Josh had no summer shoes. And Jason wears men's sizes in shoes, so they were more expensive.)

I also may have help paying my car repair bill, so hopefully by end of May I will only owe on the Mastercard.

I need prayer that I could get more cleaning or childcare jobs. Currently I only clean two houses and an office twice a month (so four jobs in total. In reality I need sixteen jobs each month, four a week.)

I hate stressing about money, and I hate debt. I know God doesn't want me stressing or having debt, so I really need to give this to Him. I need to listen to what He wants me to do for work and what He wants me to spend money on.

Matthew 6:31-33
“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
