Finding the Miracles in the Little Things

This week was filled with little "God-moments". Last week, I was really struggling with nausea and the feeling of being closed in by an ever shrinking apartment. This week we had alot to celebrate:

1. I dropped off our application to the Regina Housing Authority, where they told me they then have to process our application and then will mail out our interview time. I was thinking I wouldn't get anything from them in weeks, but then the very next day what did I get in the mail, but the letter with our interview for the middle of March. I am very excited and still praying hard that this will answer some prayers.

2. Also, we got an interview for Argyle Co-Op Tonight!!! Again praying something will come through.

3. Dana and I got to spend the weekend alone and it honestly felt like we were just married. We spent the day just touring the city, going to stores you normally can't bring toddlers into. We found this really awesome modern furniture store and then when antique shopping. We went and looked at some show homes and then watched a high school basketball game. The best part was that it was all free. We did splurge and went for Indian food on the friday night and found our new favorite resturant in Regina. Looks kinda grungy from the outside, but the food was heavenly. Then on Saturday night we had one of our traditional "boxer" dinners and it was super yummy. Sadly by 10 we were in bed :) But oh so nice to have a weekend with my lovey, falling in love with him all over. I missed the kids like crazy, but when we went to pick them up... they were like "whatever". It seems as though they had a good time too.

4. I had a major headache and stomach ache yesterday, so Dana said I could spend the money and go get an adjustment. Dana had the car so I loaded Ava into the back pack and bundled Kynan in many layers and we walked to the office. The chiropractor is not that far from us, but combined with wind chill and snow I didn't think the kids would make it. Plus, my jacket broke on the weekend and no longer does up. BUT there was minimal crying and I was able to get adjusted. We practically ran home we were to cold, but then warmed up with a nice cup of coco.

5. Dana and I are really tight on finances this month, and so we were going to sign up for this financial workshop through our church, but couldn't really afford the weekly babysitting it would require. We got a call from some dear friends saying they were willing to help us out saying they felt it very important that we be there. Dana and I looked at each other and laughed, we were both thinking if God really wants you somewhere he makes a way.

6. Probably my favorite this week was last night, falling asleep with Kynan. He came out of our room after being tucked in and said he needed a friend to sleep with. Dana started to get up and get him a toy, when he said "No, I want mommy." Melt your heart or what??? SO we cuddled, talked and both fell asleep at 9pm.

What are some of your God moments?
