Thank You!

We are making a huge change in our lives. I am quiting my very involved job to do full time school. At the same time, my wife left on a week long trip with the baby, I had to study for finals and try to obtain employment for next semester (part time). It was a very stressful and trying time for me and it started with calling in sick and losing 16 hours of work the week before. Anyway, we were a little concerned (me more than Steph of course) and didn't know quite how to help the situation. Then the little miracles started occurring.

Steph's friends all pitched in free of charge to watch the children while I was at work or school and she was away. My employer was very kind and wrote a letter of recommendation for me to get a job at the Math Lab on campus. At the work Christmas party we won a gift card, a jar of money from a guessing game and randomly received a $100 bill in the gift exchange. Then, despite my academic standing, the goverment back paid my grants for this semester. Suddenly our bills were taken care of. I was able to finish my English class with a strong A, my math class with at least a B and do well enough on the Math Lab entrance exam to have a shot at getting in.

Finally, last night I was at home with the kids when a loud knock came at the door. Opening it found a box of food, including a large turkey and trimmings, with a card. It was addressed to the family and offered wishes for a merry Christmas and that this would help. In place of a signature, a $100 bill was folded inside the card.

All this help from God and his servants has not only helped us at this difficult time, but bolstered my faith and resolve to continue onward in school and life. Thank you to all of you, those we know helped and those who wished to remain anonymous. Your kindness still brings tears to my eyes. You are wonderful and are truly angels of God. May He bless you abundantly for all you've done for my family.
