A Day For Treats

Today was a day for being treated by the Lord. Yes, everyday is a gift but somedays it seems like the Lord throws in a brownie ! Today was one of those days! Starting off with where I left off (literally ) on our blog...we no longer have to scale our wall to get on the roof to view the volcanoe( I totally agree Tam...very cool fun), escape some of the misquitoes or sit and be quiet. WHY? because the gentleman who ownes the house that we are in sent some nice people over to build us a staircase!!!!! Scaling the wall was awesome and so is our new twisty staircase! Just one MORE thing that the Lord has extended us that we don't deserve.... 

So that was exciting but by far the greatest thing that the Lord did today was bring us our pastors daughter to Antigua !!! She is part of the World Race missions team( you should google it- incredible) and they are making their way through parts of Guatemala and I bumped into her at a YWAM coffee shop here ! So Friday night Grayson and I went to a worship time that they had and then tonight she came over to our house for DOMINOES pizza... yes, they deliver in Guatemala too only they use motorcycles instead of vehicles with little boxes on the back to keep the pizza warm and in one piece-smile- Kelly plays the guitar and sings amazingly well and so we had some praise and worship time where she and Cooper played and sang for us. We also shared some chocolate chip cookies because although we're in Guatemala..cookies are a social southern thing that just make you feel like your HOME (wherever that may be) . 

And then......drum roll..... we have (ALMOST) got a home. David paid the deposit today BUT since we are in a foreign country and things are a little different here a deposit only suggest that you interested in some cases and so we are going to see an attorney and sign papers tommorow. Signing papers with an attorney is very customery here and the owners idea. TOMMOROW I may can reveal to you our place to rest our heads for the next 3 years..we are all VERY excited and again...it's one more thing that we don't deserve and the Lord has extended to us great favor in it. 

And as if life was not comical enough at the moment...sometimes funnier than others for sure...the man that is finishing the staircase just came to me with his ball hat over his heart and I THINK (think being the key word) I THINK he was telling me that he has hit my car - I just have to crack up!!!! Praise the LORD we didn't pay much at all for it !!!! I thought that it was a good idea to stay with a very cheap car incase it got stolen and now I will add to my list of possiblities... incase someone drives past your driveway with plenty of access to the rest of the road and drags his tires across the side of your vehicle-smile!!! 

lovin' life from a new perspective,
