God is good!

So you may have noticed my absense in blogging... a very good reason... our computer died!  Literally to the grave.  I was on the computer one day and literally it froze and never came back. :(  Nathan looked at the computer, talked to some friends that know more about computers and we ended up at Geek Squad.  They were pretty pricey and no guarantee that it could be fixed. AHHH!!!  What to do!  Can we afford these repairs, can we afford a new computer... at the moment... NO. :(

So ok... I can live without the internet... I could learn anyways.  You really don't realize how much you use something until you can't!  So I could come to terms with it.  BUT with homeschooling... there is NO WAY!  I print ALOT of stuff for homeschool and Taylor's virtual school I have to do stuff online.  So we visited the library once so Taylor could do her portion that needed to be done on the computer (so thankful I only had to do that once) Now the 4 kids in tow weren't the problem.  Jackson got a little antsy but nothing to bad.  It was the library that was so rude!  Anywho... I'll get over that one day.  But seriously I told this guy what to do! anywho... really will get over that one day.

So I was pretty stressed about the upcoming expense.  We have some other big needs that we are praying about and this takes away from that...  That day I spoke with my mother in law and she encouraged and prayed with me.  Later that day I read this status update from a dear friend on FB

The person who really understands the grace of God will not worry. Worrying is trying to figure out what to do to save yourself rather than trusting in God for deliverance...  (from Joyce Meyer)

This seriously spoke to my heart and I prayed and gave all my worry to God.  Wasn't sure how it would work out but it will.  God knows what we NEED.  So a week later I purchase a new computer (with cash!) and God is to the glory!  Nathan's paycheck was higher than usual and we (I) am so thankful! 

So we've caught up on homeschooling and now I've gotta catch up on blogging... :)
