19-1-2009 - God is Good

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

Ok, so last blog I think I mentioned I hadnt been sick with the cold for a long time....the next day I started feeling sick. I guess I forgot to knock on wood. I have been lucky though that it hasnt been a bad cold, no head congestion, no plugged up nose. I just have the sniffles occasionally and now two weeks later I still have it and am developing a nasty cough. Coughing hurts! And of course I pee like everytime. Even though it hasnt been a bad cold and I havent felt sick, its starting to wear me down, especially the coughing, and I dont sleep well. Sickness is inevitable with a two year old and a 4 year old.
My mom called last night and said that my Uncle Jim and Aunt Suzy, cousins Justin and Emily, my bro Micah and his wife Claire, all want to put some money together to pay for us to get our van registered, sales tax paid, and on the road. I just cant believe it. We bought a van about 6weeks ago but being Christmas and all, and husband hardly working, we just havent had the money to pay the sales tax, registration. So we have still been using our old car which is fine, but that means we cant set it by the road with a FOR SALE sign on it...and we really need to sell it so we can put a roof on our house. So my relatives are just tooooo nice. I feel so grateful but really guilty, like we dont deserve it. I feel like I should go out and get a job or something. My neighbor has hired me for the last 4 yrs to help get their adult Down Sydrome son redy for school, only about 3hrs a week, but they havent needed me in like 2 months. It was only like $45 a week but I really miss that money! Its probably not realistic at this point to go get a job. Aaron's construction work has picked up again and he is working again so thats good. I will just have to accept the gift from the fam and be thankful to God. When I got off the phone with my mom, I was sitting next to Aaron on the couch, I told him what my mom said, and we both cried.
I think we are going to the bank for a loan. As much as I dont want to be in debt more, we need to get the roof on so that our house isnt ruined. It rained again last night and it still leaks. Our pastor encouraged us to get the loan, because basically a roof is a necessity. So I pray that we will be able to borrow money for that. We have decent credit so it shouldnt be a problem. And we may refinance the house with the low interest rates, and maybe we will try to keep the same payments while still borrowing more money. I dont know. Anyway, God is Good, He Always provides. When things are looking down, He surprises us with a blessing. Sometimes I dont know why, its not like I read my bible every day and give God time in prayer like I should. Goes to show He loves us just the same.
Pulled the kids on the sled for a little bit. Isabel complained that I wasnt as fast as Uncle Adam. I was all worn out after three trips up the hill. It was really nice for us all to get outside though, the fresh air and a little exercise.

God is very good! And he always provides! I know I've had times where it's hard to see that this last year... But even with the grief I've had, I just have to look at all of my other blessings to see that He really is good and He has blessed my husband and me in so many ways! It almost seems like if we had an easy time conceiving, life would be perfect, and it shouldn't be perfect or we wouldn't be able to learn and grow. You and your family are in my prayers! Take care! xoxo
