I am so blessed to have such a wonderful loving and tender husband. We have been praying together as we get up in the morning, before we both go our seperate ways, and then agian before one or both of us goes to sleep. Its a wonderful time to be with God and to be together. I am constintly amazed at all that God is doing in our lives.

You know how when you get all excited about a ride or a game or something and then you find out it is going to cost you some money, money you do not have, yet you really want to go on that ride,or play that game or whatever it is and a friend comes along and lends you the money. Well God has been providing for us. Our God is great and good.

I was on my way to work and about 6 blocks away (3 turns) and low and behold.. i hear a very loud squilling noise coming from my car and then a poof of smoke come from under the hood... the car still ran so I prayed that it would at least get me to work... and it did. I called my hero (my husband) who came to pick me up from work that afternoon and we found out that the powersteering belt was completly gone and the air coniditioner compressor (which is hooked up to the powersteering belt somehow) was the cause of its demise. These past two weeks we have it in the shop and they are trying to find the part as inexpensive as they can.. but if not then it will cost us 600 dollars.. which is almost as much as our rent! But this has been a blessing in disguise, for we have been saving on gas and we get to spend the mornings on the drive to work together and get ready together in the morning. I am spending more time with my husband and its wonderful.

God has given me a temparary job and I even got a call back from a company that I put my resume in.. so I am going to check that out. God is providing for us. When we first got married we could barely make the bills that we had already and then to add more (rent, electric, water,etc..) we didn't know if we could make it.. but God is wonderful and we have been able to make them all every month and we even get extra! which we are gong to use to get me a better car!

Last Sunday I had a heat stroke and fainted in our appartment. Chris was so worried about me. He cooled me off by getting a wet washcloth and just kept rubbing it on me.. and he made me drink alot of water and he stayed by my side until i was better. This is just amazing to me cause Chris is very active and can't usually sit still for longer then 5 minutes.

You know what is worth the frustration? Marriage. Oh its not all about frustration, but sometimes my husband can frustrate me beyond belief.. but its worth it when he cuddles next to me and tells me that I'm beautiful and that he loves me and that I'm special to him. I love when he does that, when he wraps his arms around me and just holds me cause he wants to be close to me. I'm always and wonderously amazed that he still loves me!

I best go.. I'm actually at work and should be working, so I need to go get more work so I can have more to do.. hehe.

May God bless you as you seek His face.
