A Multitude of Answered Prayers

Hello bloggy friends,

Bet you were wondering where I was and why I haven't blogged for the past month, huh? I'm sorry I've been gone... but it's only because good things have been happening!

All those prayers we've been praying for months and months? They have finally been answered! God does everything in His own time, and that includes answering our prayers. And, in my case, He chose to do it in a very big way. He answered several prayers all at one time... which means I have been very busy!

But hopefully, things will start slowing down a little bit now, so I can come back to my wonderful blog friends - who keep me company when nobody else will :)

For now, I'm just going to quickly tell you about my answered prayers, but I'll go into greater details in future posts.

My niece in her new town in the mountains.

1. My 20-year-old niece, who has been living with us, was finally accepted into the particular job training program she wanted. She is now living in the beautiful smokey mountains while taking a nursing program.

2. I found and accepted a second job, also in the healthcare industry. This will provide a bit of the extra money needed to pay our bills on The Manor.

3. And last, but certainly not least, we have moved into The Manor! Finally, the boys and I are living as a family again. I was very blessed that Nancy and her husband provided us with a roof over our heads when we needed it, but I am even more blessed to have a (mobile) home and piece of land that is completely free of all mortgages. It doesn't matter that it's only a little more than 700 square feet and is only a year younger than I am... the bank will never be able to take this from us!

I admit to being a little stressed with working at the old job and the new job while trying to unpack, etc., but if I have to have stress, what great reasons to have it! I don't know if that even makes sense... but I don't even care!
