I only gave it a thought because of your rave review. <BR/>I'm glad Mark got a job.

I feel so bad for you guys but glad it got fixed and didn't happen before the job offer. I think your new perspective is awesome and makes me think that most of the time we all really are so blessed to pull through those problems with divine guidance and awesome friends like you have there in PG.Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/17430815366297302202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15384006.post-37802499286477208662008-04-21T20:37:00.000-07:002008-04-21T20:37:00.000-07:00I know I would have been looking at the situation ...I know I would have been looking at the situation the same way as you!

I'm very grateful for your post to remind me of how I'm looking at it the wrong way. God is good! How easily I forget that He says His palns for us are to prosper not for evil. And that He never gives us more than we can bear.<BR/><BR/>By the way.... WOW! What a huge hole. Nothing near the size of the one I imagined in my head while reading the post. lolA.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15553733761594023263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15384006.post-9525251753344723682008-04-21T13:41:00.000-07:002008-04-21T13:41:00.000-07:00I agree with Ohana, very good thought.

Thanks for sharing the great story!<BR/><BR/>I'm with Judy-- you are the only person I know who could turn a several thousand dollar job into a $20 job. I think you should teach a class. Some of us could really use that skill. :)Peggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801577151793061744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15384006.post-77161643529678234272008-04-21T05:29:00.000-07:002008-04-21T05:29:00.000-07:00That man was inspired.

Also, your backyard is looking great and I love the new & improved (aka: smaller) fire pit.

You are truly my hero! <BR/>We have had similar experience from the INS (with a much smaller amount though), it is truly a very depressing letter to be getting from them. Maybe you could go on another secret mission for the government in exchange for the money. :-)ninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912252498473619879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15384006.post-39192794939142908892008-04-20T20:45:00.000-07:002008-04-20T20:45:00.000-07:00I am so impressed and happy for you that you are a...I am so impressed and happy for you that you are able to see the situation like that. That man was truly inspired. It is true that the Lord always knows what is ahead and truly does take care of us, and definitely true that we choose how to see those situations!
