So many things to be thankful for!

 

So many things have happened this week that have reflected God's amazing provision. Really though there have been things that have happened this week that I realize are not even needs really, just things that God has blessed us with because He wants to.

 

The biggest and most significant day of this week was today. It marked the last day of Justin's training. He is a true Lubbock Police Officer. He drove his car home for the first time last night, with lights going, and as he pulled up he "yipped" (that's really what that little chirp horn is called) at us. It was so fun to go and sit in his car and look at all the little buttons and gadgets. He took us all for a ride around the neighborhood this morning. I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard, for so long to come to this stage of our life. We are finally done with "training", and we are moving forward.  Praise God for that! God also provided the mid-night shift for Justin. It is the shift we prayed for. It really fits the place that our family is at right now. I am so relieved to know we will have him home in the evenings again.  We wont have any holidays this year, but we kinda knew that from the beginning. I guess we will have to do like Courtney and Amber do, have Christmas on the Eve, or on another day. Who knows!

 

Another little praise (big for me:) is that I found the table I have been looking for since we moved into the new house. I really wanted something for my living area before my sisters came this month. (I get to see BOTH Courtney and Amber and their families within a month. Court and her crew at the beginning of Nov. and Amber and her crew at the end of Nov.) I couldn't find THE table that I had in my head, or that I could afford. I found it on Craig's list for FREE! I got this table and two side tables. I expected a junker that I could refinish and make work. But I love it, and it fits perfect. I know God orchestrated the whole thing, and it makes me so thankful!

SO Court, and Amber now my living room will be mostly decorated when you come. It is so important to me that you feel cozy in my home! I cant wait to see you!!
