hello, again...we've been here 3 weeks today....getting a little weary but hanging in there....have you ever felt like things were entirely out of your control? Thats the way I've been feeling....Good thing God is in control, huh? I had a dream last night, we went back to the house and a entire colony of people were living there...a commune of some sort..off the grid...all the men had beards and I realized one of our sons was among them..he was married and had children..weird dream..we told them it was our house and they said no, they had done something to our title and it was theirs....
glad it was just a dream!  actually a nightmare in a way....
we are down to the car, the locksmith van has transmission problems...its grounded until some money comes through..we had a flat on the car the other night, standing on the side of a busy freeway waiting for help is scary....one of our youngest sons came and helped..we were on our way in about an hour....felt odd standing in a weedy ditch, at night with the wind blowing.....I am not sure why these things are happening but have confidence that amidst  the chaos there is purpose...one day we will understand.

    Gosh, hoping the sun breaks through soon. I guess the Son is breaking through already, though!

    Hang in there.

  2. I feel soooo bad for you Dani...your situation seems worse than Lynns...at least she got an apt.
    I know what you mean about dreams (nightmares) I have dreampt a few times that Billy got hurt and aunt couldn't help because she won't drive on main roads and his so called friend was no where around and I was in a bad situation..Just want to get out of here before something like that should happen. At least you guys have work to help keep you occupied and also some income. You will do O K Dani cause you are a fighter and fighters are winners :)

  3. Dreams really can mess with us can't they? Yours was particularly odd since I cannot imagine one of your sons being in a group you described! Yep - sometimes we are on top of the world and sometimes the world tries to pile on top of us - but the Good Shepherd knows exactly where you are and He will be faithful to stay with you through this valley. So sorry it is hard right now - your family has been working so hard. Bless you and hang in there -

  5. Hi Dani, came over to catch up. Life has been so hectic! So sorry for all that has been going on. You must be so exhausted! Wish I could come and help you!! I will be keeping you in prayer. Looks like He is majorly taking care of you.

    Blessings sweet Dani!

  6. I have weird, crazy dreams too. God is testing you, but you will persevere! Don't ever forget that He is the one in control. He is giving you an awesome testimony of how He is bringing you through this whole mess. Keep the faith!

  7. I can just imagine how upsetting the dream was, especially in the midst of all these troubles right now. But it is amazing how we can persevere on through all these things, isn't it? If someone were to tell you that this many problems were going to pile up on you at one time. . ..!!!!!! But it's all back to that simple advice of Elizabeth Elliot: Just do the next thing! I'm praying for you, Dani!!!!!

  8. I am sure missing your pictures when you go re-key. That beehive cottage sounded neat on post below. I am thinking of you and hate for you having those dreams, probably frustration!

    Go on in the sunlight and be happy! Shake it off, it will all be back to normal soon!

    Smiles, Cyndi
