Dios aprieta pero no ahoga

How many times have I said that???

But I truly believe it.

It has come true in my life yet once more.

I've had a hard time lately.

I hate.... hate is a hard word.... I just felt overwhelmed thru this stage of my life, and to be honest I want to get it over with as fast as possible.

Who likes to live on borrowed money, who likes to live in debt, who likes to have a smaller checque every month that the amount of bills....it is not even living cheque by cheque...

And add 3 kids to the package and a missing husband.... I bet you can understand why I would be so eager to be done with it.

Well... I did what you need to do when things don;t go your way: leave it in God's hands.

And I know life is not fair.... because why else would God bless me so much??

I just make that decision in my heart, growing stronger for a few days and the blessings just start pouring down on me!!

How is that???

Someone tell me!

That is a super dooper Loving God!

That shows me that he is just ready to bless us if we make the first move :D

He does love me.

Everything I have has come from Him.

It is funny how my kids, when they're getting dressed, always remember the person they got those clothes from ( grandma from Spain is so often called)... it happens to me too. Around the house I find thinking of whoever got me what...etc.

And I often think of my blessings.

They are many.

The last one, is a HUGE one.

Evan received a big financial help from UBC.

It is going to get rid of our credit card debt!

Finally, some air to breathe...and peace of mind!

So this is going to be a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
