It just seems like there are alot of obstacles that have been coming our way lately. First trying to figure out if I will get life insurance than trying to get a damage deposit back that I had loaned someone and today, I am told that I need a new fuel pump. I don't have much of a choice because that is the only dependable vehicle I have right now. As it is I just put a new transmission in the van in Feb., that was $4,275 which of course went on visa, and then the body work for $1,400(Mar.), new tires, $450(Apr.) and now the fuel pump, did I mention that we put in a new alternator and starter July '06. The positive thing is, the van will be in great shape. Do you know anyone who is looking for an Astro van, in great working order. It should last many more year. Anyways, despite the obstacles, I have a peace, God always works out all the details. Infact, I just recieved a cheque today that will cover the cost of the fuel pump, from someone that said the Lord laid it on there heart to send me the money, so tomorrow I can pay for the fuel pump. Praise the Lord!! Jesus does these things to remind us that He loves us alot!! So, if you have a need don't hesitate to bring it before the Lord, He is faithful to answer our prayers.

I checked the boys funding for their trip to Mexico and it's all good!! They are ready to go and so excited!

I am still reading the book on heaven and it is very interesting. Randy Alcorn has done years of research, using the word of God as his evidence. I am excited about heaven, just think, we will be reunited with all those we love, live in the most beautiful place imaginable with our Savior!! Just think we will be able to physically hug Jesus!! Wow!

I am so glad to hear that the lord placed his hand on someones heart,and that they took care of you and your bill for the new part! It's amazing what people do for people that they love!
As I learned for my own person loss a few weeks ago, our place on earth is only temperary, lots of people think that we were placed here for a full life. But we were not, it's just a stepping stone along our path to true home Heaven, to eternal life with great beauty. Yes, to see everyone that we love will be great! Not that I want to rush that in anyway, shape or form. But it gives us something to look forward to, and not to be scaried of death, if that is possible!
Stay strong!
In my prayers always,
DAnielle

Esther,

We say our prayers for you that the Lord will continue to bless you and look out for you. There is a divine intervention that I am sure will happen - if it has not already.........take care, keep strong, enjoy your children. The other stuff like bills are just the details........remember that funny little guy - I am sure you can still hear his words in your head.

Hey there Esther!
...."Burdens become Blessings; Setbacks become Springboards; Resistances become Resurrections; Stumbling blocks become Stepping stones; Obstacles become Opportunities.".....sometimes it's very hard to see beyond the obstacles etc. we just want to scream ENOUGH NOW! and we do....I do anyway....it's not until I look back and see that God already had a plan in motion to get me through all the setbacks....the awesome part is GOD CAN FIX ANYTHING!!! and He sometimes chooses to do it in the craziest fashion!....YUP, OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!

Stay nestled under His wings Esther, and He'll fix the unfixables!!

Esther, so good to see you posting. I had been checking the blog several times a week... nothing, other than Todd's post with links. That was awesome to see them. Then suddenly you started to post. How wonderful that is! I am so happy you are taking pleasure, and pride in this blog.

It is always the way, money falls on those that need it most, and the right times! So good to see the boys funding is in place for the Mexico Mission, just awesome that they can follow in their Fathers footsteps.

Tim was a wonderful man, and will never be forgotten!!! Always remember that!
