these past couple of weeks have been pretty busy, mainly lots of the same stuff, work, housework and baking. Alex has been very busy at work and i at home. This Past week has been a bit trying in the little things; We brought both of our cars into the Autohaus for tune ups, and on the day i was to pick up the accord, i recieved a call that they needed to keep it for another five days, no biggie (saved us from finding a place to park it), so the following week (this past wednesday) i went to pick it up, parked it overnight and then on thursday went to Alameda to do some grocery shopping, where my car decided to quit working. Although a definite kink in the day, it was a reminder of God's involvement, even in the little things. For example, the car died as i was turning into a parking spot and just then two strong men pulled up and helped me push it the rest of the way; my mom came with AAA and we we're able to get it safely towed. Friday and Saturday we're a wonderful time with friends, first Shaun and Chelsea and then Marco's and Ashley, we both had a great time and enjoyed some much needed fun time (that didn't cost a fortune, lol!) Then on Sunday we had a rude awakening that we live in oakland, my car had been broken into, but with no broken window's and upon closer inspection we found that nothing had been stolen; relieved we got in and went to church, where we heard a great sermon on Esther 4. We we're able to spend the rest of the day enjoying each other's company and looking back on all that we have to be thankful for.
Today starts a new week and something to look forward to, a New mattress (cal king) that fits us both and will allow alex to keep his feet on the bed, and didn't drain the bank. Thank's to Cliff and Julie for the heads up on the good deal!!!

My goodness, what a trying week! We have had one also, with the entire family (including week & 1/2 old baby getting it also). But this morning I was reading Morning and Evening, a devo that is by Spurgeon, but made more modern by Alister Begg, which was about trials. It reminded me that God is revealing our graces to us as he lets us endure trials and it in the end is what makes us stronger. It is in the dark(the harder times) that the things like stars shine, not in the light(or the easy times). And we see his mercies upon us as we realized that we didn't deserve anything good anyways:) Well, I hope that you do have a better week, and you can always give me a call if you need a ride anywhere or to be picked up! We're home a lot these days:) Talk to you soon!
