The weekend

went better than I thought it would. I thought that I would be one big emotional nut case but the Lord help me through it. Mariano isn't home but God has a reason and I am trying to look at my days now as not another day without Mariano but another day closer to him coming home!!! Someone mentioned about me taking another trip and I was like not until I get some bills paid off. It stinks because my credit card would have been paid off if it hadn't of been for the insurance ordeal with my root canal which they still do not want to pay. It was mid June since I last saw Mariano. Almost four months. So Lord knows what we need to do and we will see about taking another trip. I do have some vacation time to burn.

All day meeting was good! Had a good spirit there and great / awesome to be around God's people. My brothers and sisters!!! I am thankful that the local doctor is willing to help out in Haiti!!! I thought about what a big tax right off that would be for him so he isn't giving up too much but I am thankful because that just isn't Haitians that are hurting that is our brothers and sisters. I will never forget the time when I was meeting my parents for breakfast like a year ago and Aydan was crying in the back seat because he was hungry. And I began to think of the people there that have to look at their kids every day and see that hungry face and that hunger cry! It was so tare me up to be a parent and not be able to give my children the adequate food that they need daily. It reminds me of the song and I had thought about singing it this weekend but didn't so maybe next time.

It is below:

Oh I've had bad days and I've had hills to climb
I've had sad days and sometimes a weary mind
But when I look about and think these things all out
God has been good to me, I can't complain

God has been good to me
He's been so good to me
He's been a real friend to me - I can't complain
His truth and righteousness has made my life so blessed
God has been good to me, I can't complain

Sometimes the clouds hang low and I'd like to see them go
I ask the question Lord why so much pain
Then the answer came to me, I'm watching over thee
I'll just say thank you Lord - I can't complain
