Community

Today I'd like to give testimony to how God has and is taking care of me. Many of you know that Alex travels a lot for his job. It's just kind of the way it is right now. He has busy seasons and less busy seasons, and we just try to take life a day at a time when he has to be gone. Being on my own with our three kids definitely has it's ups and downs, and I've asked a number of friends and family to pray for me/us. It's amazing to see how God is a God of details and how he cares for me through other people in small ways, that add up to big ways.

Just this week...

*Two neighbors came by and gave me their numbers in case I need anything.
*Another good friend and neighbor fed my dog when we were gone for the day.
*A friend from my Bible Study came by and took Oliver for the afternoon and evening.
*My mom spend the night to help out at the beginning of the week.
*Another friend from my Bible Study bought me a Groupon to purchase pre-made meals.
*And yet another friend is coming over to stay with my kids while I do some tutoring.
*My mother-in-law is going to watch my kids tomorrow morning so I can run some errands.
*Last but definitely not least, Lydia is being a really good sleeper, and beginning to fall into a routine.

Wow.I am so thankful for the community of generous women God has placed in my life at a time when I really need it. Thanks to all.
