storm!

understatement of the day (are you ready?): it's raining!!!!!
to say the least.
i guess it's supposed to keep it up, and maybe get severe tonight. although i just realized, i have no idea where to go if there's a tornado warning. hmmmm..... might want to find that one out.

God is so good!!!
a few items in support of that statement...

as mentioned before, Matt has a job for a couple weeks. it's helping out a lot, emotionally and financially!

it's raining! they've been saying we're in a drought, and that summer and harvest could prove pretty difficult. hopefully this will put a damper (no pun intended) on that forecast!

the doors are opening at work! no more feeling without purpose.. i've been invited over to several co-workers' homes just to hang out, had the chance to share Him with a few of them, and hopefully much more to come! a little obedience on my part goes a long way...

we got support!! i guess i had kind of assumed that we wouldn't get any this month, since we hadn't sent out another letter. but this month's check was more than last month. what a blessing. and so encouraging!! it makes me more sure that we're doing the right thing.

my mom is walking! less than a month after having both knees replaced, she's walking. it's incredible! i went over for a bit this morning, and there she was, no walker, no cane, nothing.. just walking around on her own two legs like nothing happened. praise the Lord!


God is good. there's no doubt in my mind of that. things are getting better at the church, i feel more purpose at work, and our (matt and my) relationship keeps getting better and better. i have wonderful friends, an awesome family, and i serve an amazing God. in that alone (the last thing), i find strength and hope and purpose, and a reason to get up in the morning.
