tough times

I don't really know much about politics or the economy or the workings of this nation, but I do know that I am scared. I find myself looking around my (rented) house looking for things that I could sell if we needed money for food. I am dreading the fact that my daughter is getting older everyday and will eventually need clothes, books, and lunch money. I have even put off getting a haircut for a few months now because it feels like a luxury that I can not afford! I spend everyday working with unfortunate families who are struggling to make ends meet and at the end of the day I realize that I am only a paycheck away from being in line with them. There is an amazing man who volunteers his time at the Family Center b/c he has been laid off from his job and is trying to be productive while he waits for a break. He is trying to take care of two little boys on his own and will be homeless at the end of April. My heart breaks for him b/c of what he is going through, but even more b/c I don't have the means to do anything about his situation! What is going on here?! My prayer is that my faith will not falter in this time of uncertainty and that my God will provide.
