Sigh....

What a crazy past few days! It was one of those situations where everything seems to be going wrong, nothing major in life, but many small things. So, what happened?

- For reasons I can't go into on our blog, 2 walls in our new home will need to be repainted - nothing horrific, but disappointing since our house is still brand new.





- Our computer is having some big probelms. It suddenly decided to stop allowing us to use any letters in the "home row". Whenever we type anything from D through "page down" on our laptop, nothing happens!

- Lastly, do you remember our car's tire situation from the post a few days ago? On Saturday we were driving to the outreach project and following 2 friends' cars. Suddenly someone stepped out into the highway to cross the street, and the cars in front of us came to a sudden (literally screeching) stop...only we we weren't able to stop so suddenly :) and hit our friends' car. Oh my! Two car problems in one week! This time we had radiator damage and a cracked bumper.

Fortunately though, through these crazy days we have been able to see God's hand in our lives. We are so thankful that nothing more severe happened to our car - imagine how bad it could have been! We also are so grateful that the first cars were able to stop in time so the person crossing the street wasn't hurt and that nothing happened to our friends' cars (not even the one we hit). We also were so thankful to have gotten in the accident RIGHT in front of a shop that fixes radiators! (Seriously, how could you not see God in that!) We were able to get the radiator part fixed that morning and can now drive fine even though the front is cracked.

Also, of course, the walls are paintable and we are hoping that buying a new keyboard on ebay and installing it in the laptop will fix the typing situation. I'll keep you posted on that. It was so funny though when we were trying to Google the problem. Since we couldn't use any of the keys from D over, we were trying to search "computer Keys won't work" - Of course it came out - "computer eys wont wor" The Google auto-fill kept coming up with "computer EYES wont work" Finally I was chatting with my Dad on Skype and he was able to do some searching for a new keyboard for me since I couldn't even type the word "keyboard" haha.




So, it's been a bittersweet week, but we are continuing on, trusting in Him. Oh, and in case you were wondering, we DID still go to the outreach on Saturday since we were most of the way there when the accident happened. I went ahead with some other cars and a few guys stayed behind with Jeyson. (I knew my emotional self was better off seeing people in much harder situations than us, rather than feeling emotional at the car scene!) Later Jeyson joined us when the car was drivable again. I'll post some pictures of the outreach in the next few days.
