Things I have learned Day #8

#8. Just keep plugging along, God really is faithful. Even if sometimes it doesn't seem like it

So today was a pretty good day.

A person that really needed a new water heater that called into Catie's office last week (Catie works for the city of Holland Our Street Office that gives out different grants for houses in the city). Unfortunately, due to a tight budget the city was unable to help pay for the heater (as they first had thought) so the lady had to pay the $600 bill or have no hot water. So Catie posted the need on my friends sweet local non-profit site otherpeoplematter.org and someone volunteered to pay for a new water heater in full! Catie is so excited!

Then I got a call from Huntington Mortgage today (which usually isn't good because we have been behind on our mortgage) but this time it was good. We had filled out paper work 2-3 months ago about adjusting our mortgage payment to something more affordable and a guy called today and said we had been approved to get our mortgage payment lowered from $770 to $550!!!! Yeah, what a blessing! And I don't think we have to make our next payment until July 1st now! That is so great for us because we can afford that right now (even though we make very little)! So praise God for that!
