WHAT A DAY!

I was on my way to The Work Source this afternoon when Matthew asked me where the postage stamps were so that he could mail a bill off.  I couldn't find the stamps.  I looked ALL OVER the house.  He later finds them, so I was readying to leave when I COULDN'T FIND MY CAR KEYS.  I had to look all over for the keys that I put down to find the stamps.  That took about 20 minutes more than I wanted to take.  It didn't help matters that Matthew wasn't trying to help me find my keys.  I found the keys, got in the car, and somehow, my car's bumper hit the front of the house AND KNOCKED THE ENTIRE BRICK WALL DOWN AND KNOCKED THE WATER PIPE ATTACHED TO THE BATHROOM LOOSE...............

I was gone for the rest of the evening (Matthew told me to leave and do what I set out to do).  When I came back, the water in the bathroom is cut off.  We don't know when it will be turned back on.  The landlord told Matthew that we are going to have to pay for the wall and the pipe to be repaired.  None of us are working yet.  The Louisiana Department Of Labor sent us our paperwork from the extension request, and are asking that we produce a record of our work search here in Texas.  I have one on record, since I have been looking for work since last year, but I don't know if my husband will be able to provide one.  Although the system has the request for our unemployment benefits recorded in the computer, we still haven't received any money.  Now, as much as I'd hate to, it looks like I will have to be going to work REALLY SOON.   

Friends, I need your prayers now more than ever.  Again, it seems as if all hell's breaking loose.  For me, it usually means that something major is about to happen in my life, but whatever it is can go either way.  All that I know is that I am exhausted, and I hope that nothing else goes wrong anytime soon.

Listen up girl. You are stressed and THAT is your problem. You need to slow down and have a little more faith.
Stop and smell the flowers. Count your blessings!

That was God trying to slow you down, or as I sometimes like to think it's God's way of preventing something from happening to you. Sorry about your troubles, but troubles don't last always. I'll continue to pray for you.

Good luck with finishing the class and your 100.00 giftcard, lol That would be fun to spend.  I hate losing my car keys which I do, I keep them on a long chain and put it around my neck a lot of times.  It has helped. Good luck with everything.
