Again Thankful

St. Louis, MO -- What an eventful week it was. Aside from working for my grandma last week, I also kept pretty busy with various other things.

There were two other things that were "big events" last week too... including, first of all, that my dad got a job! Congratulations pops! After a pretty long time... some 5 months, I believe... of being laid off, we all are very thankful that he got a job! During the whole time, God was very faithful to provide for the needs of the family, so that there was never lack. And, at the right time, He also provided a job! So, thank You Jesus!

Also, this weekend we happened to be out with my neice at the pool. She climbed up a slide to go down into the pool and somehow slipped and fell down some 5 or 6 feet onto concrete. It was insane in that it seemed as if she was falling in slow motion, and it was a very scary sight to see such a small body fall like that.

I was very thankful that God in His foresight, provided something for us in such situations called adrenaline, because I've never gotten out of a pool that fast in my life and then got to her. Anyhow, it was one of those situations that put a hundred people at the pool to silence and many people rushed around her... and she was doing a silent scream that we weren't quite sure what all was wrong.

There happened to be a paramedic at the pool who checked her out, and for such a fall, she only bruised and scraped up her elbow. No concussions, no blood, no broken bones, all of which I was dreading seeing as I got to her.

Can you believe that?Anyhow, like we all said, it seemed as if a hand held her as she was falling down, because it was really in slow motion... and to land on concrete like that and not have anything seriously wrong is a miracle.I, and all of us, am very, very thankful that God protected my little 3- almost 4 year old neice and kept her safe for us! Thank You so much Jesus! That made for us a particularly long weekend.

We also had the opportunity to see my aunt yesterday, who I haven't seen in a few years... and we found out that she was here in town on Saturday night. I had planned to visit a young adults group on Sunday evening, but since I found out at the last minute that she was here and planning on visiting and spending an evening with the family, I decided to see her. I'll head there another Sunday evening.Well, this week there is a whole variety of things to be done, particularly with job looking and with fundraising and projects involved in that but I'll be letting you know what I'm up to!
