I haven't written in a while, but this is some of what has been going on here.
When it rains it pours. . .
Trials
Our van broke, it cost 2000 dollars to fix, we had the money, but that was suppose to last for quite some time.
Mike's truck needed new tires, while the van was in the shop, Fun.
Van breaks, AGAIN, What?
We take the van in, Mike takes the rubber part off the key because it is disintegrating. No big deal. Wrong, big deal, that is why the car won't start. On Chevy's you must have the rubber key to start the car.
We have two sets of keys, mine are lost.
Mikes truck won't quit starting, that starter needs help. We take it in. 300 dollars
Blessings
Prayers
Our wonderful friends loan us a van and things were fine.
Van is fixed, it cost less than expected. Yahoo!
Mike Gets a good deal on tires.
My sister calls, she has an extra set of keys, they are mine.
The van is their fault and they fixed it and saw one potential problem and fixed it. 19.00 dollars.
We get three random checks in the mail for 500 bucks.
Our tax return from 2007 comes in, which we had given up hope on! The Lord can even control the IRS.
When it rains it pours. . .That goes both ways, trials and blessings. (The blessing always seem to be greater in the end.)

Wow!! I'm glad things are taken care of. You're right the Lord blesses us. I was thinking about you last night. Haven't read a post in awhile and was hoping everything was okay. I'm glad that you are.
I found some of our cousin's blogs if you are interested. I guess I could just call you about it, but then I had to leave a comment to let you know that I read your post and I felt your pain and your joy.
Hooray for blessings! And I bet all the blessings meant so much more because of all the trials. We've had some similar trials/blessings going on around here. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Was beginning to wonder if you were ok.. am grateful that everything is turning out to be great!! take care!
Sounds like our life! Personally, I prefer the blessings.
so taking your extra set of keys may have seemed like a trial, but actually it was a blessing in disguise. Well at least it seemed like it when you found out where they were! It's all about the drama with me! Thanks for reminding me that there is always a plan and a way with the Lord. -Jeanette
