Thurs. Sept 9

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”- Isaiah 46:4 Isn't that a real blessing to know, no matter what we look like He will carry us, He will sustain us, rescue. Amen. For if I keep going the way I am, rescuing will definitely be my need. (said in jest but shouldn't)
Proverbs 6-7, 2 Corinthians 2


Well I'm not sure if my answered prayer is an answered prayer for Melissa. But She isn't getting a trailer to tow behind the truck now. Back a couple years ago they had issues with Firestone tires and such on Ford Explorers and I'm imagining other issues with the truck. B/c Uhaul will not rent in good standing to her b/c of that reason. So instead she is buying a big $20 thing to bungee cord on top of the truck that will zip in all the clothes and some other things on the roof of the truck. Then what ever else she can fit inside the truck she will bring down. Anything else she is sticking inside a storage unit and will then go up mid February to rent a Uhaul truck or what ever and drive it back down that way.
This helps so much. We are able to pay off the remaining of the bills for the month of September, get the brakes for the truck and still have enough money for gas and food. Can't beat that. No more worrying where it was all going to be coming from. Thank you Lord for answering my prayer. What Melissa needs she can always get down here, like we did. It's a slow process but it works. We've been here four months and we have everything now, except for a washer and dryer. And I'm going looking for that in the next couple of weeks also. With That many extra ppl here and what it takes for me to lug it all to the mat and back and what not, I'd rather just have one here and get it over with. So will have to really scout around.
Anyway, that's about all that is new around here. Not a whole lot. Tomorrow is payday so I'll be pretty busy. Have to go to bank, payday loan place. And walmart. that's about it until Saturday, I'll have more running around to do. Oh well. Could be worse.
Hey you would be so proud of me. I made steak on the Foreman, egg noodles with seasonings and shredded cheese, and beats for supper. I ate a piece of steak the size of a deck and half of cards (getting there lol) a 1/2 cup of noodles, and 1/4 cup beats. I used the last of the White gravy to go with it and only put like 1/8 of a cup on meat and noodles. Not like I usually just load the things. I'm proud of myself. Mike only had one plate also. How cool is that? Then later I had a peanut butter and fluff on whole wheat bread with skim milk, and last meal of the night I had three small celery sticks with lite pbutter on them, and one cup of my berry berry yogurt delights. The entire day I only had my glass of milk and ice water. No tea, no coffee, nothing.. just that Imagine that. Woo hoo!!!
