God is GOOD......

Ok so we have a big praise report to share. Wednesday morning we get up and we have 1/2 inch of water in our closet and all in the garage. We knew we had a leak somewhere but wasn't sure exactly where it was coming from. We called a plumber and they tell us we need to replace our hot water heater! Yuck! So needless to say, we were sad. We were thankful because we weren't expecting to get any money back on our tax return but it turns out that we are and it would cover the cost to replace it. The only thing is that we have been planning a trip to Florida for Spring Break with my family and some friends. Plus, we also are trying to go to Georgia this summer and wanted to use part of our refund money for that as well. Anyways, we knew we had to stay positive because we have never had to replace anything in our house since we have owned it and felt very fortunate for that. So last night when we got home we had a check in the mail from an excess we paid into escrow for our house this last year and it was for half of the cost of the hot water heater!! We were so excited and know that it was a blessing. What are the odds that we would get it the exact same day that we had paid so much for something!! So, we should still be able to go on both our trips that we had wanted now. GOD IS GOOD!!

GOD is SOOOOO GOOD! That's so awesome! Well, not about the water heater, but the check in the mail! He is so FAITHFUL! And always will be and always has been. Even in the times when we don't understand... HE always knows what he is doing! :) That is awesome!
