The Grace and Favor of God

What a great Day..Things are moving again. Important things. We started earlier this morning. We were suppose to pick up some papers that we requested back from the courts last week and of course they were not there. So it was back to the courts with a sweet talking lady from DIF and we got the papers.GOD's favor at work in her. Then it was exchange money to pasos which turned out to be a job too. Then copies and copies and copies of everything you do..It is a must. Our translator had to leave us by 1pm to get to school and we actually threw him out at a bus stop to get back to his car because I had drove. We continued on with our attorney who speaks very very little english. I filled out some forms with 10 mins to spare and then made a 15 min. drive in 9 and walked in the doors at mexico's immigration with 10 seconds to spare..They close at 1pm..Praise GOD.Another favor of GOD..We did our work there and were told it would take a month to be finished...Then before we left GOD blessed us with yet another favor..The lady told us she was pretty sure it would be done in a week to 10 days...WHAT A MIRACLE..We are so blessed each time.. Then we came on home and rested..We will be having a house guest for 3 days..Jaspar, the dog next door. Our neighbors are going to take some guest of theirs from canada to New Mexico for a cave exploration trip..They were so kind to let us run an extension cord to their power for about 2 1/2 weeks and I REALLY enjoy Jaspar..They usually put him in and board him but I dont like to board mine so I thought it is the least I can do for such wonderful people..Our neighbors are remarkable..Both of them..I dont know how we would have made it without them..Our one neighbors are leaving for 3 weeks to south Mexico on Friday and then our canadian neighbors are moving back to Canada in a couple of weeks but they have their place rented to a couple that the husband speaks english and spanish and the wife just spanish..But it is still comforting to know that they are all CHRISTAINS..GOD has been great to us..He always has been but on this adventure he has really let me know he is close...Thanks to all who comment, like our friend cathy from bible study..It always makes me feel closer to home to see that people do care...And Cathy, you are so right about mexican time..There is none...Just when you get to it..Another reason I feel so blessed by our LORD on how things are moving in a country that is on what we floridians call ISLAND TIME...We have a big day tomorrow..I am cooking speg. dinner for Carlos and his family tomorrow night..They were gracious enough to cook really mexican for us last week so it american for them this week. Then Friday Sandra is having girls day and night here...I will have a GOOD taste of a daughter on that day I am sure..It is fun..Never thought I would have a daughter but it is pretty cool to look back to my day when I was that age and remember...We have a great son back home that GOD blessed us with through adoption 26 years ago and now a great daughter. I think back and from the time I was 18 and knew I would not have kids, GOD had a plan then and to see how it has worked out is very humbling. I am thankful to our LORD that I can be a part of his work and plan and I just continue to pray that my will be lined up with his so that I might be a good and faithful servant for him...
