praise God II

so... Gary's school is taking a hit. there are 5 paychecks left this year, and they're proposing spreading them out through the fall. so basically he'd get 2.5 paychecks until the end of the school year. i was surprisingly calm when he told me. we all went out for fish fry and didn't really think about it. "you know we're going to be ok, right?" he asked. "yeah...we don't really have a choice but to be ok."

then saturday morning i hear him screaming from the living room. "what?!" i was scared for a second. "is 'lijah ok?" he hands me this letter that i'd accidentally thrown into the non-important mail file. it's from pfizer. it says that he never cashed his last check from 7.14.2000. we have 3 weeks to cash it before the money goes to the state. it adds up to approximately 2.5 paychecks.

again, He is making it obvious for us. yesterday i kept thinking, as often as i take Him for granted i don't deserve blessings. but i also remember it's not about me and what i've done... the price has been paid.
