Fall Update

Hello Friends!

It has been WAY too long since I posted anything.  July was the last time!  So much has happened in that time that it may take a few posts to catch up.

I had posted a while back about the help we received from God, through the intercession of St. Joseph and St. Andre, that resulted in my husband getting a full time job!  The next part of the miracle is that we now are the proud owners of a beautiful house!  I can hardly believe it as I am writing it!
 
There were so many times when I would wonder why it was taking so long to find something, or why there weren't some decent homes to look at, or why we would make an excellent offer only to be turned down!  Houses were also flying off the shelf (so to speak) and if one came on the market and we didn't get right out and see it (like the day it came on) we would miss out on looking at it, let alone making an offer.   Now looking back if we had gotten any other of those houses, or if we hadn't been stalled (we had an offer accepted on another house that took a month to get fully inspected and turned out to be a real dud) we would never have gotten this house which is a beautiful, solid, good sized house with a back yard, in a beautiful neighborhood, and in a convenient location etc. . .  God's timing is not our own and boy am I thankful that He is in charge.  I am only sorry that I succumbed to questioning His plan.  Let this be a lesson to me - Give it ALL to Him!  Trust completely!  Please pray that I remember that when life seems less than perfect! When the kids are screaming, the day is long, and gloomy, and when I have lost every shred of patience I possess (which isn't much to begin with)!
