 Real help comes from God. Your blessing clothes Your people!
~ Psalm 3:8 MSG
 
 
 
Oh my goodness gracious it has been an interesting  past 10 days!
 
Around the 8th  our computer  began to have a nervous break down, had one dilly of a twitch going on! We took it up to the local Geek Squad . . . Thank God   ( & I do mean that ) they were able to fix it at a fairly reasonable price for presently a new computer is really not in our budget  . . . while I am grateful for Geek Squad's service of the computer  I have to say their attitude toward every customer that was there on both days we went left a lot to be desired  . . . had me sit back & reflect a little bit about this . . . we are told are economy is not the best, you hear/read/witness people being laid off, losing their homes . . . I understand you may not enjoy your job, your manager may not be the most understanding individual there is, your work schedule is not the one you would like but what I don't understand is being ungrateful & uncalledly ( did I just make up a word? ) rude to others  . . . it doesn't make your situation any better now does it? But the same goes for the customers as well, poor attitude is not the way to approach an individual who is trying to provide a service for you  . . .
 
Let's see what else has taken place . . . also on the 8th  we took our oldest girl  yet again to the Doctor  due to pain in her abdomen  . . . told nothing wrong  . . . on the 14th Hub took her  to the Emergency Room  . . . there she received urine & blood test along with x-rays, diagnosis? "abdominal x-ray showed lots of stool in her right colon and rectum." . . . so in other words my oldest girl  is full of   . . . I am so grateful  to the Lord that it is not something more serious!
 
Hub's job is in the beginning stages of "some improvements", time will tell if they are improving or not  . . . Hub is a driver  for a commuter bus company, for the last 3-4 years    he has been basically on the same route, has always won the safe driver awards  they present, receives wonderful praise  from his riders & so forth . . . the company has decided to let "senior drivers" chose the routes they want now, which means Hub has lost out on his route to another  . . . while we are understanding of this choice we do question some of the actions, for example the individual who will be taking over my Hub's route is NOT a safe driver, has received numerous complaints  not only from his passengers but others as well, his nickname is "the prisoner driver" & he has wrecked a few buses . . . the change in route has not taken place yet, should be in swing in a few weeks  . . . Hub has informed his passengers who in turn have placed calls  to the Office who in turn have reamed  Hub out over this "you should have not told them anything! You should have just left!". . .  my Hub's reply was he has driven these people back & forth all these years & felt they had a right to know why he would no longer be there . . .
 
On the 9th  as walking back from school to the house I found a discarded unused bullet on the ground  . . . at first I thought "Oh no way this is real!", fig'd it was perhaps a novelty piece from a key chain or something along that line but when I brought it back to the house & showed Hub & son  they confirmed it was indeed a bullet  . . . I am not a fan of guns so I know very little about them, extremely uncomfortable! ( Actually it is not guns I am uncomfortable with, it is MORONS with guns I do not treasure ) What do I do with it? Didn't seem proper to just toss it in the trash, know what I mean? So I called  the Sheriff Department  to inquire, some officers came out, confirmed it was indeed a bullet, told me it was a 50 caliber for a handgun & the next time I find one I could either call them or just throw it in the trash
 
Around the 9th  we lost our cable service . . . well, I reckon lost is not the proper word  . . . it is more along the line we owe them money, we are unable to pay, so they disconnected us  . . . hhhmmm, imagine that bizarre policy eh? Actually I kinda sorta like it not around . . . we have been pulling out some old DVD's & watching them & reading  a little more . . . we mostly have the TV here on for there are many things we are not allowed to do  so it is a buffer for in between times, when we have a house  we can turn into a home  I know the TV will not be needed as much as we seem to here . . . I can not express how much I look forward to that day . . . .
 
A company we owe money  to recently made contact  with me . . . the news there was not good  . . . apparently we owe a bit over $2200 . . . I really like the scripture   "I keep out of debt owing no man anything except to love others"  . . . apparently it is going to be a bit of time before we do get out of debt thou  . . the gentleman I spoke with was very nice even as he informed me I have three choices A) pay $2269.84  B) if we don't have that he could settle the accountant for $1750 or  C) I could pay $1134 in Jan. & another $1134 in Feb. . . . explained I do not have any of those funds at all, nor do I have the resources to obtain that amount . . . the reason we stopped paying was for other needs ( medical, food, rent, so forth ), it was not like I stopped paying & then took that money & put it aside into a savings account . . . wasn't there some other payment plan I could work with for this? No there was not, the last option was court . . . which I have to admit in my weakness I found myself crying  & told him I would have to call  him back on Monday to see if there was something we could do . . . honestly I knew there was nothing we could do  but I was shooting for some time, got off the phone, wiped my eyes, cried some more ( once you get started sometimes it is like a dam breaking eh ), re-wiped & blew my snooze & began praying  . . . in my moments of weakness I know the Lord is my strength & He will guide me to what needs to be done
 
We also recently received a certified letter  telling us that our Van has been towed & stored at a towing lot . . . van? This van they mention is the van we had prior to our truck . . . when we got the truck we took the van to FORD & used it as part of the trade in . . . so why is the van still in our name   ? This was aprx a year  ago we worked with the company! Hub is too laid back about it, called  the towing company explained to them said they said they will take care of it . . . said he even called  Ford & told them & received the same response . . . hhhhmmmm, me being the skeptic I am am considering typing up a letter & having it certified mailed  to the towing company & Ford to show we did make contact . . .
 
So it has been an "interesting" past week or so, not awful or bad, just "interesting"  . . . and just when you think it is all calm & quiet . . .
I'M BACK!!!!!
 
 
Lord, I know that You can turn this lose-lose situation into a victory. Thank You for being merciful defender. I trust You. Amen.
 
~ May you ALWAYS be Blessed & may you ALWAYS Bless others ~
