croup
yep, the croup has hit my house! Jaden has it, and if I had a doctor to go to, they'd probably tell me the same. It's amazing how fast it set it. One day I'm fine, the next a small cough, and then i wake up w/out being able to breath and talk at the same time. I will admit that after some hot spagetti o's (yeah, kids choice), my voice is sounding a lot better. I'm hoping by tomorrow that my voice will be back. My boss told me to take two days off, I wasn't planning on taking even today off. She's fronting me next month's vacation day so I actually have a pay check...THANK YOU LISA!!!

can we coexist?
If you've ever seen the bumper sticker that spells out coexist w/a bunch of different religious signs, and asked yourself, can we really coexist? Then, you might what to check this site out.

My church did an outreach on this subject, a subject I've never heard any other pastor preach on. The week one was good, week two was great, and week three was awesome.
I'm not sure how much longer this site is going to stay up, but check it out. Listen to the music if you like, but definitely listen to the messages!! And, if you're in MI near me, come check my church out sometime if you like :)

Blessed
I wasn't going to post all of this, but yesterday, after being blown away by Him one more time, I just couldn't hold back.....
To say that money has been tight since becoming a single mom would be the understatement of the year. I went from being a stay at home mom to having to find something to make ends meet while not going bankrupt on daycare. To find a job that not only met my needs and paid ALL the bills has been one of my biggest struggles. Thankfully I have family that will watch my boys so that I don't have to pay daycare, and God has provided jobs to meet my availability which is a miracle in itself most days.
Amazingly, through it all, I have yet to be late on a major bill nor have I bounced any checks....till this month. Word to the wise, if you're going to not pay a bill or in my case over look paying a bill, your electric bill is not the one to skip/forget. By time I realized that it hadn't been paid, it was too late to stop the cycle. See, I don't have $100 laying around to pay a forgotten bill. Most weeks, after grocery shopping, I don't even have $10 laying around. Then Shaun was in between jobs and my child support got messed up. And, well, as if that wasn't enough, Discover took a payment out that they weren't supposed to. What does this all equal?? Two months of shut off notices from my electric, and you guessed it, bounced checks.
So, why am I thankful? One, I'm thankful that after two months of shut off notices, God has provided, and we haven't gone even a second w/out power. I'm thankful that somehow, when I needed it the most, God had my boss start up a raffle thingy, and I've won gas money when the choice was to eat or drive. I'm thankful for friends who have provided a meal here or there, or maybe even just some pop money when I was thirsty. Mostly...mostly I'm thankful for a God who knows all, sees all, and provides all!!!

Jaden's Eye Appt
Thanks to everyone who had Jaden in their prayers for his eye appointment. The appointment was the quickest Jaden has ever had, but that's bc he didn't dialate his eyes which was nice! The doctor said Jaden's vision is perfect...YAY! So we'll wait to see what next year holds. The doctor said Jaden's eye MIGHT grow into his face to where he wouldn't need surgery, but if not, still aiming for around 5yrs old so that we can hopefully get it done in 1 surgery vs multiple.
