General Update

I spent the whole trip either in the driver’s seat or the passenger’s seat of our truck.  I noticed that after I sat in a seat for a while and then got up (at a gas station or something), my belly button incision from the surgery really hurts.  I’m not sure why, but it bothers me a bit.  It’s taking longer to heal than I expected.  Also when we finally made it to the school for Abi’s game, when I got out and started walking in, I felt sharp stinging pain from the incision area, especially when I touched the area (unusual).   Something to keep praying about.

Also when I got to our new Texas house I met Nutmeg. Nutmeg is our new family dog.  I’m not sure what kind of dog she is exactly all I know is she wants to play 24/7.   Buddy (out long time Shnoodle- Schnauzer Poodle) has not taken a liking to her.  He’s been an only dog for a long time and doesn’t like it when other dogs steal all the attention away.  He overall tries to avoid her and stiffens up when she approaches.  .     .    .   Dog Drama

Though my plans are not set in stone, I expect to be in Texas for a week or two.   I’m hoping either this Saturday or Sunday to attend one of the Gateway Church services (Gateway is the church our SLI class went to for a leadership conference last fall).  Gateway is about an hour and a half from where we are and I haven’t figured out if it’s the church God want’s me to go to or just a church I want to go to.   If it’s the one He wants me to go to, I’ll probably go to a Sunday service.  However if it’s just one that I really want to go to, I’ll go to a Saturday service and then got to where God leads me on Sunday.   If I can figure out my schedule too, I would also really like to go to The Potter’s House (TD Jakes church – also a church our SLI class went to).  

As a kind-of-job while I’m down here in Texas I plan to continue to try to sell everything that I brought down and maybe some of my mom’s stuff that she want’s to get rid of down here.   I’m really hopping (as I have been) that my China Set will sell.  A creditable dealership down in Florida said it’s retail Value is $500.  However I’m not necessarily asking that much.  I would take almost anything for it – I just want to sell it. 

Which brings me to my finances.  I am still trying to find enough finances for a car and for next year up in Canada.   I was hopping to have a thousand more in my bank by now, but sad to say that hasn’t happened yet – though probably for the better.  God is giving me the money that my capacity can hold – I don’t want any more than what I can hold.  Yes I want more money and I feel a need for it since I have a lot less than my expected budget is calling for, but Trusting God is a higher priority.  

And finally just a note to all readers, my blog posts over the next few weeks may be scattered since our house down here doesn’t have internet.  I’ll only be able to post when I go somewhere that has internet.   Though, I’m hopping that I’ll be able to post more often than I’ve posted the past few weeks.
