Blessings

I wonder how many blogs I have titled as 'Blessings'. 

It makes me smile to think that this isn't my first and I'm sure it won't be my last. 

A couple months ago my car battery started giving us problems. It was after Seth was born so I obviously wasn't working and although we can live somewhat comfortably off of Jeremy's income, we certainly don't have much extra to speak of. We realized that the radio wasn't turning off when you open the driver side door anymore and it was just being left on until it drained the battery. So Jeremy jumped it and we charged it and we basically don't listen to the radio anymore (or at least I don't since I know I'll forget to shut it off). 

Fast forward to now. This past week was a long one. As I've posted before I'm watching my two little buddies who I had before Seth arrived and I also watched our friends' infant daughter (who also happen to go to our church AND be our neighbors). Fridays are always special since it means Dada is home for 2 whole days, but when Friday arrived I just wanted to get out of the house with my little family. I had some shopping planned, we were going to grab dinner and have a relaxing Friday night together. I got Seth all packed up and we headed out the door. I'm sure you all know where this story is going. Yes, the car wouldn't start. We hooked it up to Jeremy's car and after about 30 minutes it still wasn't starting. So, Jeremy took the battery to the auto store and apparently battery "juice" is supposed to be around 600-700 and ours was running about 50! Good Lord! Seriously. What a Awesome God we serve. Now that I'm watching the girls and have some extra income with Usborne Books (more on that later) we have been able to have a little cushion and build up our savings. Making the necessary purchase of a new battery a little less scary than it would have been just two months ago. 

Thank you Lord for your perfect timing and for always watching out for me and my family <3
