God is so good...once again!
Sorry I've been MIA. Our internet was down since Thursday and we just go it fixed yesterday.
Well, we just got back from the mediation. We didn't get the $4,000 we asked for which was half but we got $3,000 and we were willing to just let the other $1,000 go to get this done and over with. We also found out that we will be getting a small inheritance from Mike's grandmother, who died 2 weeks ago and that will cover the rest in 4-6 months.
So it looks like the septic tank will be taken care of! He was also protecting our business. We are so close to having the Best of Living On A Dime and mom's tips on living on $500 a month done and ready for the printers. Well I called the printer we normally use to get things set up and she said they had gone bankrupt! If we would have turned them in 2 months ago when I had planned on them being done we would have lost 4-6K in deposits on the book! I was feeling badly because we are so far behind on those two books but once again God meant it for good!
Then.... we overpaid on our insurance and received $850 back from our house insurance and $250 back from our car insurance! Mike is also doing real estate clean-up right now making $37 an hour! He only is doing about one a week but that's another $150.
He is working to death right now. He is working 40 hours a week doing a documentary on emergency preparedness for the PBS station here, doing the book stuff and cleaning trashed out houses and applying for jobs! There is a job opening here at the university that he is going to apply for. He is more than qualified so we hope he will get it. If he does please pray that God will send someone to help us with the book stuff because mom and I just can't do it alone.
Well that's an update on us. I think I have the flu so I think I'm going to take it easy for a little while.

Hi Tawra,
I'm so very happy that you got $3,000.00 for the septic tank.
Also, for Mike making $37.00 an hour for cleaning real estate mess?
that's incredible!
Let's hope that things will keep getting better.
Also,glad that you hadn't made a deal with the printers yet,before they went "pouff".

so glad for all your recent blessings. love your blog and newsletter. i read everything but don't get much time to comment. just wanted to take a minute now to encourage you....
God truly does take care of everything. It is so hard to be patient even knowing He will take care of things. We have had our shares of ups and downs but it all works out for the best in the end. I am so happy for all of your blessings. Keep up the great work! and hang in there.. -Laura from NC
Praise God for all the unexpected blessings!!! He is SO good!!! We just can't say it enough.
I am very sorry to hear that you all might have the flu. I am just recovering myself. I feel for you. However, I did remember to praise God even in my sickness, that He was cleansing my body of any evil thing that might need to get out.
I am excitedly awaiting the book on 'tips for living on 500/mo'. Wow! I can't wait for that one. I wish I was closer so I could help. I will certainly pray that you find the help you need. That will be my contribution. lol!!!
I will also pray for Mike's job and that he find rest he needs.
Blessings to your family,
Renee Furlow
