As I was on the phone with the hospital trying to figure out a payment plan to pay off the $4000 of new medical bills from Caleb's surgery, the blog I posted below came to mind. (I wrote it on myspace last year) I thought about the van and made a mental note that we haven't had any problems with it lately... WELL! ha! ...Tim called me on his way home asking to look up our warranty information for the $4000 (maybe even more now that's I'm thinking) transmission we had worked on Oct 2007. I couldn't find the paper so I called up Lee Myles to look up the information and we are just 1000 over the miles. That's like 2.5 weeks of driving for us! Man! So our warranty is VOID : ( The worst part about this is the fact that all this happened on Tim's birthday. I felt horrible. There was nothing I could do, but pray for him and the situation. I kept thinking about the blog after the fact and I have a feeling that it didn't just randomly pop into my head. I think it was to prepare my heart and attitude for what we were about to go through. What a day! So I'm trusting God will pull through, like He ALWAYS does! And I'm just keeping that communication with Him open. And Hey, Thanks for giving me a heads up, up there haha.

It’s Worth It
Current mood: hopeful
Category: Life
I just wanted to say hi to the people that actually read my blogs.
Right now, I’m feeling ok - nothing great nothing too horrible...
There’s always going to be things that go wrong
Cars need repairs, Medical Bills need payments
There’s always going to be people that hurt us
offend us, reject us, betray us
But if you focus on the good things of the day, thing’s don’t seem so bad
There’s always ups and downs in life - I should know.
Whenever there seems to be no hope
It’s always just around the corner
So because of past experiences I know to just keep looking forward, looking up
Because my car will get fixed, my bills will get paid (sooner or later)
There is forgiveness and restoration for people
And that’s a lot to look forward to.
So even when it feels like there’s nothing to look forward to
And it seems like there’s no way out
Just think about the things you’re going through
And even if it’s hard where you’re at -
It’s just a matter of time until you’re on the other side of things
You can look back and think "That was a rough time but it’s done"
And I know it makes us stronger and wiser
I’ve definitely learned lessons over time - And I’m still learning
If I can just think about the things I’m going through now and know
"I can give hope/encouragement to people that are going through similar situations"
When I’m on the other side - It’ll be worth it...
It’s Worth It
