Finances, Uber Eats, and more. Trusting God during uncertainty.

 Hello everyone!

Today I will be discussing Uber Eats, Finances, and Food. 

My husband recently signed up to be delivering for Uber Eats. Our car isn't new enough to do their taxi/regular Uber service. We drove into town and noticed our area is quite dead in the Uber department. So, we have decided to drive closer to my parents. The likelihood of being able to find orders out that way are far more likely. I am hoping that we can make enough on Saturdays that we can supplement our income with Uber Eats. 

My teaching on Outschool has slowed down quite a bit. I recently got two new students for one class, so that will help boost my weekly income for a short time. (Around $31.50 a week)

I am sure a lot of people know what food insecurity is and how it can cause hoarding. I am glad we started to hoard canned food when we lived in our old place. We have fallen on hard times and started to rely heavily on our canned veggies. Now they are almost gone. I used 1 can of corn, 1 can of green beans, and 1 can of baked beans in supper for tonight. I have enough canned veggies for supper tomorrow if need be. My parents visit the food pantry near them, so they gave us the canned stuff they didn't need. 

Trusting God during all of this is hard. I need to keep reminding myself that He will take care of us. That Elizabeth is safe in his hands and so are the rest of us. God is faithful and just even when we are not. I don't need to be afraid. Telling my anxiety that is hard, my instinct is to worry. God tells us not to worry, so I am working on that. 

God answered my prayer to reduce my hours of teaching. But the result wasn't what I expected. 

God Bless y'all.

It's Not Just Your Life

 A common misconception when you get married, is that you still have a life outside of your spouse. You do, in a sense. But now you have a partner. Partner in crime, friend, lover. It's not just your life anymore. Then you have kids. You now have at least two extra people in your life.  The way you live your life has a direct impact on your family. If you travel all the time, you run the risk of losing a close connection with your spouse and children. If the way you respond to confrontation is anger and shouting, then you need to take a pause and figure out your emotion. Anger and yelling should never be the way to resolve conflict.  One of the most shelfish things you can say to a spouse is, "it's MY life." Yes. You have a life. But consider the woman/man you married. They gave up a part of their life for you. Independence, a job, own living space, privacy. It's a partnership, not a competition.  I hope I never hear those words from my spouse. I hope I never thin

The church, their responsibilities, and how it can effect mindsets.

 I have grown up in church my whole life. I was saved young. I love the church with all my heart. If you are a Christian, you should be in church. As someone who couldn't attend church for almost a year, I understand that it's hard to go back.  I do understand that the church fails sometimes. I am reminded constantly in recent years that they fail quite more frequently then we would like them to. Here are some examples of where I feel the church has often failed me.  1. Nobody reaches out if you don't show up. When I was out of church for over a year, only two people contacted me. One also has a chronic illness and the other had good intentions. I was alone a lot and didn't see a lot of people. I struggled with depression from it for over a year along with severe anxiety attacks. 2. If you are in need and not yet a member, you are often excluded. I understand that certain privileges come with church membership. I am a pastor's kid, I understand too well. But I learn

Investing and Startups

When you are investing in a startup, when can you expect to start seeing a return on your investment? That is a big question when you are thinking of investing in any new opportunity. I looked into several start ups when I was in college and followed some ones done by Deaf individuals closely.  Many times you don't see what's going on behind the scenes until the last month or so before launch. This is NOT uncommon. Many things change before the platform or program gets launched. They may change founding members, actors, designers, etc. The finished product is what you see, not everything that happened/happens behind the scenes.  If you are considering investing, don't expect to see a return on the start up until more than a year has passed. Start ups, when done right, take a lot of time. If you want excellence, give them time to produce excellence.  Now we are leading to a start up I wanted to bring up. Loor.tv is a new start-up that is facing Cancel Culture head on and al
