Praise is in order!!!!!!

Thanks be to God!!!

We got approved for the duplex. We will be getting one of the freshly remodeled ones so it will be all clean. We are super excited. We should be getting to move in by the end of the month which is nice because it gives us more time to save up money. And the duplex is in the Washington Elementary School Zone which makes me very happy because that is where we wanted Cameron to go to school so that made me very happy too. So hopefully we will find out in the next week or so exactly when we can expect the remodel to be finished so we can move in.

Also Brad's unemployment (based off of Tri-con employment) ran out this week so he opened a new claim (based of the union employment) and was approved for 26 weeks of unemployment plus at the end of that time, he will qualify for an extension which means we for sure will continue getting unemployment and that if he gets laid off again we will for sure have unemployment for up to 52+ weeks. That was a huge stress relief.

So we are very thankful tonight for everyone who prayed for us and especially God's provisions.

I admit that I strayed from my walk with Jesus after getting hurt feelings last year it has taken a long time to get back to it and I feel that a lot of the things that happened to us was God's way of trying to open my eyes to my actions and get back on track. Unfortunately it has taken quite a while but I am focused on getting back to learning to walk with Jesus and to know God and it's amazing what faith, listening, love and prayer can do. I feel so hopeful that things will continue to look up for us. I am proud of myself that as the good news came in today i immediately thanked God for his help rather than either not thanking him or thanking him but at the same time asking for more help. Today though....I simply thanked him. And you know what? It felt GOOD!!!!!

But............................as much goodness as there was today, we also got some kinda scary news and need prayers...and lots of them. So please pray for my family. I cannot give details but would appreciate your prayers that my family member who got some scary news will come through this hard time with a happy/healthy outcome. (I know it is probably annoying that i am not sharing more details but they have asked that I not tell anyone and so I am not sharing who or exactly what.)

So please say thanks to God for his provisions both in the way of shelter and income and please pray that my family member be ok. Thank you for all your support, love, encouragement, friendship, thoughts and prayers.
