Thanksgiving...

So - as my first post - I thought I'd type something real quick about what has been going on recently.

Ron has been job searching and didn't get another job. We keep waiting patiently and I'm learning again to give everything up to God - give Him complete control...I'd had problems with this in the past.

Also - we have been wanting to get out of this townhouse. There's nothing REALLY wrong with where we're at - but the neighbors are getting to me and it's getting more and more and more expensive to stay here. We had been looking and struck out. We kind of gave up having a feeling our rent would go up in January. We were informed that our lawyer (ironic) bought a new building and there is an apartment above his new office. He offered it to us, we went and looked at it last week and told him right away we would take it. It will definitely save us money! We got a letter on Saturday that our rent is going up - SURPRISE!! It is only costing $5 more per month for rent but we only pay for electric at the new place - not gas, electric, and water.

The timing was perfect! Since it's our lawyer, he's being VERY cooperative and making this place great for us! A friend of our's and his dad remodeled the apartment and it's beautiful. I took some pictures with my phone, but next time we're over there we'll take the camera.

But I thank God daily that this came at the right time and thank Him with all He does provide for us. We may live paycheck to paycheck, but it's always there when we need it most!

Happy Thanksgiving! Remember to thank God for the SMALLEST things - it may not seem like a big deal but He loves to always hear that from His children!
