Update

It has been awhile since I blogged. You are probably all wondering how we are doing. We have been enjoying our apartment and I have been enjoying my job. We are making it through. Yes it is still hard on us but we are making it through. One of my friends told me that we are doing more than making it through we are surviving. That particular friend has a point. James and I became members at Clovis Ev Free Church. It has been such a blessing to be members. James is trying to serve in the church and well I have started to help out in the pre-k during second service. It was so much fun. Working at Kids Kare is such a blast. Everyday I come home with at least a laugh or a smile on my face. The past few days have been so hectic for us. James was having problems starting the car since last week sometime (I believe it started last Friday). The car did always start but it always took awhile to start. Well, on Monday (maybe even Tuesday) we were talking about getting it looked at to see what was wrong with it and well yesterday we went to the car and tried to turn on the car. Well to our surprised our car was not starting... it was humming. We tried everything we could to get me to work on time. By 8:05 I knew it wasn't gonna start so I called in my work to let them know I was gonna be late. We also called every friend we could think of since we had no money to tow the car we had to come up with a plan. We finally had a call from one of our friends and well we were able to borrow a car that day. James had an interview at 9 am yesterday, but with everything that happened he had to reschedule it for today at 9:30 am. Well, he couldn't find the place that his interview was at so it was rescheduled again for today at 2 pm. Finally, on my break I got a text from James asking me to call him. When I called him he told me that the oil sending unit and the starter both went out and it was gonna cost us 600 dollars. I was in tears at this point. He then said but since we had the card that we got from the last time the car was fixed that we could put 333 dollars on the card. Then he told me two of the tires were wearing and that would be 175 to replace the tires, but we couldn't afford that so we had to hold off on those. Honestly, I was so afraid that we would not be able to go home for Christmas. I think we are both relieved the car is fixed. However, the company we got the car from is no longer in business so we can't do much at all. James and I appreciate all the prayers we got and we want to say a very special thanks to the Elrich's for saving us for the few days we needed their car. "In all things Christ Supreme!"
