IT"S ALL GOOD!

Even among the hardest trials, if at the end of the day we are still a family, It's all good!

A day of waiting!

We all slept in this morning! I believed we truly needed it! Today we have run out of options other than waiting! This afternoon we have an appointment to meet with an agency that might be able to discuss shelter options. Not an appointment I looked forward to! The normal shelter here in Alabama shelters single men or women, the Salvation shelters families on a first come first basis and the first week is free after that it is $6o a week and the Family Promise Agency helps only if everyone is healthy and capable of working full time because of Shawn's mental illness we do not qualify! However the lady in charge of Family Promise is extremely kind and has agreed to meet with us to see if we have tried everything that might be available to us! After the appointment we will be hanging at the hotel, I am actually looking forward to a down day! Tomorrow we have to be up very early to meet with a Social Security recommended Doctor for Shawn.Another huge thing  about tomorrow,on the 15th and the 30th of every month is when the financial benefits are available. I applied for these benefits on October 1st and as of yesterday I understand everything is finally all in place! Our prayer is that the benefits will be active immediately! If they hold these benefits until even the 30th of this month we will be in very real trouble! I have no idea how much to even expect if we are eligible. That question weighs heavy on my mind and heart.... will we receive these monies tomorrow? Will we receive enough to put  a down payment on the house we looked at? Will we make just enough to put gas in the car and nothing else? The waiting is usually worse than anything! And I am not a patient waiter! I am going to try and just give it all to God and try even harder not to second guess what will happen tomorrow!  So I guess it's just a day of waiting!
