October 3 4:45 PM

Hello friends,
Well, today has been a very quiet day for us.  As Thomas mentioned last night I slept at a friends house (1st real bed in 3wks) and I think I slept almost 10 hours!  Thank you B&K for the B&B!  We spent some time with Micah & various therapists and looking around the facilities.  Hopefully during the next few days I can sort of get a handle on how things work so that I can work out some sort of schedule with school etc...
I have said several times that God is good and I was soooo wrong in saying that.  What I have learned is that God is too good.  Though this has been a horrible thing to go through with Micah and emotions have gone wild at times, we have not had to think much about the day to day stuff.  At each step of the journey God has provided over and over again.  
Today we met the person that offered us a house to stay in.  We almost cried right there in front of her.  Here's a list:
-huge house
- good neighborhood
-10-15 minute drive from Micah
-fully furnished
-no rent
-we're trying to pay for the utilities
-lawn is taken care of
-exercise macine
-jacuzzi if we want to mess with it
-washer/dryer
-a table our whole family will easily fit around
-backyard with a creek
-loaner van until I get mine here
-shopping all within 5 minutes from house
-games, ping pong
-etc...
quotes:
-please make yourself at home
-please, please, please use the stuff in the pantry, fridge & freezer so I don't have to take it to my            
  house


After all this, she felt bad that we would have to be out of the house for approx. 5 days, can you believe that.  Who else but God could work out something like this?  We are completely bumfuzzled!  


Micah is starting to calm down a bit, getting used to a new place, people & more noise.  They will slowly start integrating him into the social activities here as they don't want to overwhelm him with people, but also don't want him to be recluse sitting in his bed all day.  Gotta get off now as we're going to see if we can sit him in the window seat with us for a while.
Love to all of you!
Tina

  1. We're so happy to hear about the house, and that you got some rest in a real bed! Let us know if we can help with getting the van up. I looked at Rankin-Jordan on the website, and it does indeed look cool!

  7. God has brought you guy a long way in three weeks. Micah is doing so much better and I praise God for that. It was great that he had such a good time with the kids the other day. It's just so amazing how God has brought everything together, the house and all. When you can get an address out.

    Love ya,
    Sally
