When it rains...Part 2

So as my post last week unraveled into true life, it didnt turn out quite so bad. Well in all honesty the cost of fixing my car was a little more than the quote but with all my 'problems' bathed in prayer we made it through. After talking with a friend and discovering the week she had, I was more than happy to take the one I had on my plate. (So sorry! you know who you are) I recently read or heard somewhere when you place all your worries and everyday hang-ups in a bowl with all of your friends', you'll be more than willing to take back the ones you threw in there to begin with. (whew! that was the lengthy way of saying that) The virtue of the month for the kids is PERSERVERENCE = refusing to give up when life gets hard! I won't give up or give in because I'm just plain stubborn like that! :)

When it rains.....

...it pours! We've all heard this expression and it has nothing to do with actual rain. Just within the past week we have been 'hit hard'. I don't deal well with stress and prefer to keep life simple. One of the boys had a chipped molar and the tooth was very sensitive. A trip to the dentist reveals not 1, but 2 infections. A prescription and 10 days later two teeth come out with a hefty price tag. On Sunday, not more than a mile down the road we hear a grinding sound and now we need to change the wheel bearing. (I don't even want to know the cost). Marv and I are caught in the middle of a family issue and we need to make a decision that we feel isn't really ours to make, but paperwork says different. We have a friend who is having some emotional issues/stresses and we're not sure how to help. I will keep persisting and persevering and seeking guidance from the one who knows how it all turns out anyway.

New Level

This past weekend my hubby and I reached a new level in our relationship/friendship/marriage. (I'm not talking physically! well maybe a little, am I allowed to say that :)) I see it mostly in our friendship, being able to laugh at ourselves and together. It was as if my eyes were opened a hair more to the depth of love & appreciation that we possess for each other. I don't know how I'll be able to stand it if it gets better than this! :)
