Blessing of the week....

Yay for getting reimbursed for our sewer line disaster!!!! Back at the end of May, a cable company hit our sewer line, which caused our bathrooms to flood and our yard to be gutted down the middle. We originally thought that it must have been old tree roots that had done it. However, the city and cable company representatives came out to inspect and they determined that it was the cable company's fault. Well, we thought, "Great. They will have to pay for it".....WRONG. Both the city and cable company were arguing that it was the other's fault so guess who got stuck with the HUGE bill? We finally found out this week that we will be getting reimbursed!! Now.....that will cover the cost of the new transmission that had to be replaced in Ben's truck last week. If it is not one thing it's another, right? It may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but that was our blessing for the week and I thought I would share:)

Prayers please

Please remember Micah's family in these next few weeks. I spoke with Mrs. Rine (Micah's sweet mom) and she said that they will see Thomas for the first time since May at the October 15th hearing. In case you haven't heard, the charges have been increased to first degree, premeditated murder. I ask that you pray for this very tragic situation. Pray for peace for the Rine family and courage as they go through this very difficult time. The trial will not be for another year, but these next few weeks will still be very hard. My heart aches for them, but they have been so incredibly strong through it all.
