So I am doing so so so much better, for those of you who care. It’s funny how when times get hard, you get to see who your true friends are. Those that were there to simply listen, I appreciate. Those who went beyond theirselves and their current problems to help me with mine, I appreciate even more. Jodi Jodi Jodi, what would I do without you? I would be a mess that’s what. Do you know while everyone was off in their little world, concerned only with numero uno, Jodi asked everyone she could think of to help me and my family. Her church took up an offering for us to help with our overwhelming bills. She didn’t have to ask them to do that. We don’t go to her church, they don’t know us, but they helped us anyway. I cried when she called and told me what she had done. And like that, other miracles started to happen. Blaine’s grandmother sent us some more money for our bills, and when she heard how upset Blaine was, feeling he had let me and the kids down because we couldn’t get them not ONE thing for Christmas, not even after the help from Jodi or his grandmother, she said she is sending us a Wal-mart gift card to take and spend on the kids for Christmas. Blaine cried at that. Then yesterday, my step-dad came by, and he gave us some money too. I think we have to pay him back when my loan comes in, but I’m not sure. sometimes people say ok you can pay me back when you insist, then when it comes down to it, they won’t take it back. But if we do or don’t I am thankful because now we can pay ALL our bills that are due this week, and pay our lawyer that is due Jan 2. Jodi’s mom is coming up here Thursday to bring me the money, and a basket of stuff she put together for us. I will never know how to repay them.I have so much to be thankful for.
And for an update, I passed my math and psychology finals, still have 3 more to go. This is great news. I hope I do well on the other ones. They started on our house last week. Poured the foundation Friday, and that’s the last I heard. If the rain will stay away, it will be done sooner than March. And some of you might be thinking, oh they can’t pay their bills but they can build a house. First off the loan payment will be cheaper than our rent, and second it isn’t costing us ONE penny upfront, no closing costs, nothing. Well except the whirlpool tub, but that will be paid for with our income tax. I have being feeling the little flutters of our child, but tonight, for the first time I SAW them. I was laying in the bathtub, and I saw my belly going crazy. It was beautiful. I felt it too, but it was great to see it because that means now Blaine can see and feel it too. I cannot wait until Jan 3rd!!! I am excited to see what it is.
Jodi, thank you again, so much,and your mom and your church. Someday I will repay you guys for your kindness when we needed it most. If there is ever anything I can do for you or your family, please don’t hesitate to ask. And you are the only person who called me that day you read my blog, to see if I was ok, and that made me feel really good to know someone cared so much.
Everyone have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the miracles of God everyday. Whether it be a helping hand, a friendly ear, a new baby, or a family to love you. You just really don’t know how lucky you are until you have nothing at all.....
