Well, it sure didn't go the way I wanted it to go - and I am really disappointed. I've done alot of things throughout my life to elevate my circumstances - worked hard, gone to school full time and worked full time while driving over 65,000 miles to get to classes - moved the household a few times, once across an ocean - and been a good, patriotic citizen of this wonderful country that we call OURS. I have a really good job. I am so blessed to work from our beautiful home. John and I have a wonderful extended family and dynamic kids and in-laws and 7 beautiful, brilliant grandkids. We have a warm, loving Church family that encourages us and loves us. We have faithful friends. We are truly blessed.
I confess that I am concerned about what happens next. Information currently available about our President-elect's tax plan indicates that our income tax will DOUBLE. That is really a concern to me. Not that I mind paying my fair share - but I thought I already was. While I thought we were somewhat "comfortable", I never thought of us as "wealthy". I am concerned that if any of our "wealth" is redistributed, we may face some very serious decisions.
The one thing of which I am certain is this: God is still in control. The heart of the King is in the hands of the Lord. God is our ultimate Provider - Jehovah Jireh. He is our Peace - Jehovah Shalom. No matter what happens, we will praise Him.
