Miracles! God is Amazingly Good!!!!


Sorry if this is a repeat for some of you... it was just too good not to share here, too!

Yesterday the most wonderful miracle happened to us! We almost always file an extension on our taxes... don't ask me why, habit, maybe? Well, our CPA called to ask how much of the refund to deposit into our HSA account, since the amount of the refund exceeded the limit on the HSA. The whole reason I wanted it deposited there, was i thought it wouldn't be that big of a refund, since we didn't make much last year and we didn't pay much in taxes. I mean i was expecting less than a thousand dollars. But God had other plans! Some of my friends know that i disagree with the stimulus packages that our government administration has been doing, but today God worked something for "good to them that love God to them who are called according to His purpose" Romans 8:28. Because when i asked how much our refund was... the answer was something over 9000 DOLLARS!!!!!!!! He explained why... and i was just stunned!!! After i hung up with him, I just started bawling!!!! I had to call Jerry of course, who was elated, too!! We now have 24,000, we only need a few more thousand!!! Woohooooo!!! I never even dreamed up this one, and i have thought of a lot of weird scenarios!!! This is so amazing! I am overwhelmed!!! This video, Feelin' So Fly by Toby Mac, describes how i feel!

Also last night i sold my scuba gear! $400 more!!!! Woohooooo!

We Are Going to CHINAAAAAA!!!!!!!


Oh YAY!!!! I can't believe it! We are finally making plans. We have all the necessary paperwork and signatures!! Our agency just has to make our Consulate appointment before we leave China then travel arrangements can be made... can you believe our agency makes all our travel arrangements? I think that is amazing, they even send in for our Visas! We did all that stuff ourselves with Kazakhstan.

So you can follow our journey on our China blog here. Blogger is blocked from China, so i will be posting using email! I hope that works ok! Blogger is also blocked in Kazakhstan, and my friend Jacquie has figured it out and it works fine, so it should work ok for us too. Yay!!! I can hardly wait to get a hold of those girlies of mine!
