Dearest Journal (and friends),

Sigh...I'd like to be jumping up and down and screaming for joy, but I'm like the kid who's birthday cake has blown up in her face every birthday for the past 12 years so I'm waiting for the KA-BOOM to be over before I can relax and begin to enjoy the party.

I am praising God in my heart; with my mouth; just not my emotions... I guess.  Today is ds(dear sweet) hubby's b-day.  No presents.  I have to wait until Monday, until I get paid and then for the next paycheck in two weeks also.  We're all chipping in to get him some glasses.  (Cheaper than a seeing eye dog! LOL)  He's been wearing mine to drive with for about 6 months PTL and now has agreed to go get some of his own.  My folks sent a check and his folks have agreed to chip in.  So with my paychecks and if WComp will send the mileage check they own which we found out today has been sitting on their lawyer's desk for over a month, then he can get them in a few weeks.  YEAH!!!  The sidewalks and my front bumper will be safe once more!  Yahoo!!!

He and our son put in aps at the local school district for maintenance men and they are still waiting to hear about the prison guard jobs.  There just aren't many jobs out there yet.  God knows.  Hubby did talk to lawyer's paralegal today and after an agonizying wait, PTL it's good news.  The IME Doc rated me.  So now she said we just wait for a settlement hearing.  Dread the drive over the snowy mtn pass again, but maybe I can get the O2 paid for for Feb and for March, then we're on our own.  But, we did find a used condensor on freecycle that should get us through the winter.  PTL!

When I got up this morning, even before I read God's Word, I woke up just knowing that God was going to let today be a day of resolution--a day when all these issues that had been over our heads, causing us to give our worries to Him constantly, would be resolved--and it has been.  Not everything, but the 2 biggest for me!  We got emails from Steph and Ben and they and baby arrived safely in Nepal with their missions team PTL!! and now with the IME Doc!  That is such a huge relief!  maybe this will be over very soon!  Now, if the Lord will give Hubby and Son good jobs and will resolve custody of our Godchild either permantly with us or get her and her mother into the Christian teen challenge 2 year program, then life will be good again for awhile.  Spring is coming so migraines should be lessoning.  :-)  And the meds should be on a stabilization pattern.

I hate to wait for "the other proverbial shoe to drop" because I know that is not how God works, yet I'm cautiously optimistic.  Maybe our famine will be over for awhile.  Not that I believe we are in "feast" mode, but maybe just tranquility or status quo, with steady manna for a while.  Either way, even if it's still desert time, praise be to God, our loving Father, who will provide what we need, when we need it, in due season.  Praise be to Him!!  His glory for ever and ever!  Glory be to His name!  Hallelujah!

Hugs & blessings, may they abound to all!  booyah~
