So earlier this week, I was feeling a bit anxious since I calculated my finances and realized that after paying my bills I had about $5 left in my checking account. Even though it's a 3 paycheck month, I'm not able to save as much I could because I had extra expenses last month leading to an unusually high credit card bill. Since I also started calculating my insurance benefits as part of my blessings, my giving went up as well.
Then God sent another job opportunity along which I am in the process of evaluating. Now that I'm licensed, I can join a group practice which would mean I could earn waaay more that the measly $32,500 that I earn right now. The amazing thing is that the office is located 15 minutes from my house! By foot. I would only need to drive on the weekends. However, the idea of building up my own practice scares me. Furthermore, I'm not sure if having my own practice would qualify me for public service loan forgiveness which I absolutely need to continue to qualify for as my loans currently total about $100,000. Unfortunately, the government has not laid down guidelines for private practice so I can't be sure.
Nonetheless, I felt like God was sending me reassurance with this opportunity: "See, I can provide for you in a lot of different ways. Continue to give." And so, I am giving this week with a happy heart despite my $5 bank balance. Since I won't be paid for a while, I'll be using my credit card. I'll have enough money in my bank account to pay the credit card bill by the time it arrives.
