God's Restoration Services

I always thought God restored hearts, lives and attitudes. That was my greatest shock to see how much he cares for the minor details in our days.
We had a cracked window for 6 months... as summer warmed up we finally scheduled for a repair ( only $45 ). On that fine day Monkey ate my birth control and our A/C died. I think 30 years for any machine is a long time but we longed for cool air again. The repairs were a great cost but not much less than a new unit. With our horrid credit we decided we could slowly pay off a new unit. The company had no payment plans. We almost laughed! Seriously we have saved every penny and lived life with no play money for years! We prayed that God would protect us from the heat. It cooled off at night enough that the house stayed decent & our portable ac kept the upstairs able to sleep ! 7 days we fretted, sweated and prayed.
God had an amazing plan. A friend of ours paid to have the whole thing replaced. They said they were glad to help and to praise God they could!
So praise God!

Blessings

In case the Lord has not taken your breath away lately....
Last summer we had a car repossesed... replaced with a $400 car that runs great!
Dad worked some last year but was off enough to really see his boys growing!
Our A/C went out and the Lord brought a family willing to pay for a new one.
Our hearts are broken to the kindness and wopeness to Gods will for our family.
I pray your life will be changed as well by our Awesome Jesus!

Hot Hot Arizona Summer

Dad has continued to work. Mom is trying to diet and exercise... yuck! Nothing like being sore and hungry. Bubba is marching into high school with a strong outlook from his civil air patrol program. Monkey is slowly potty training. Doodle is loud and precious in the same heartbeat. We swim daily. With at least 4 months left in summer the pool has already warmed up. It is great to jump in but the refreshed feeling is passing quickly!
