When it rains it POURS!

Well Phoenix is getting pounded with water that just left San Diego soaked. It is such a nice change of pace. We broke the 24 hr rainfall record Tuesday that was last set in 1917. We are expected to get 1/2 of our annual rainfall in this one week. WONDERFUL!! I love the smell of rain.

But I wish my title had to only do with the weather. We got a letter in the mail on Tuesday that stated that our landlord has not been paying the mortgage since September and our house goes up for auction in April. Oh joy! We just overcame the great trial of Chad losing is job since he started a temp job (but good paying one) on Tuesday. We didn't even have ONE day of breathing room. I really want my past rent money back from October til now because she is not holding up her end of the bargain. I pay her my rent so she pays the mtg. We might just wait it out until the bank comes with the sheriff to do 'cash for keys' and collect the $1500. We don't think we will be getting our deposit back if she is not paying the mortgage, even though we can go after her legally for it. It would cost us $ we don't have to do the legal mumbo-jumbo and if she files bankruptcy or something we aren't guaranteed to get it anyway.

In the meantime, I am a little grateful since I really don't like the layout of this house. I am hoping that one of our outta state resumés will get an offer and we will have to move outta state anyway. Who knows.

After reading one of my roommates blogs from good ole Dixie College, I am just amazed at her faith. I thought my faith had grown leaps and bounds but she is able to have true blind faith. She is truly an inspiration to me. She knows that some of their journeys have been longer or a little more odd than normal but she has had some of the most amazing experiences. (singing Christmas carols in a field in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve!!) All the while having her children experience these too. All things happen for a reason and I think it will all be for a greater good as to why we have had these countless trials. Ask me again in 3 months but I am hoping things will have worked themselves out for the better in the end.

Oh get outta town, Kristine. I can't believe you said that. YOU are an example to ME.

Things will work out the way they are supposed to. The journeys you least expect, often end up with the sweetest result. The greatest peace I have ever experienced is when I allow myself to say to the Lord, "I am in your hands and will go wherever you tell me to" because He knows the beginning from the end, and He knows what I need more than I do.

Big HUGS to you, girl. I'm so sorry things are stressful right now. I'll be praying for you guys. =)

Maybe out of State will be our state, I do miss the girlies and you. Sounds like your landlord has a way worse life than you or will, though I think that the state of Arizona should give you some money for sure.
