This is for those of you who are paying attention to & caring for this part of our lives:
I had to have our furnace/hot water systerm serviced yesterday. About 5 hours of labor plus parts so fairly expensive. Perhaps $500 plus?? unless they have mercy on me!!!
The blessing in it is that it now works at 83 1/2% efficiency. I guess brand new ones work at 86% efficiency. May cut down on oil usage too???
We lose our health coverage as of the end of January. Now we are a 3 person family instead of 4 so the amount of money I can earn/receive is lower. I will have to pay for health insurance after January for the 3 of us. I don't know how much that will be yet.
On the plus side, I have my music to sell, David's Harris' book that I have with me...I get 50% of sales, Bob Quadra's CDs & we get 100% of that, and Sandra Cooper's jewelry (of which I have a LARGE collection with me) and we 100% of those sales. These items have to be purchased directly from me in order for the proceeds to go to us. (Except for my music on soundclick.com)
I just need to be more intentional about the getting the word out about these items & get a new batch of my own CD done for those who don't use iPods etc.
PLUS you all have been tremendously generous in your financial blessing. I have not had to be anxious about that part of our lives. THANK YOU!!! We (I say "we" because the kids have become quite lavish in their giving to others lately...like Bobby was. I can't think of a time that he ever said, No when I was feeling led to give something that was a sacrifice for us...even when I gave away my ENGAGEMENT RING!!! Rodney Howard Browne meeting...need I say more?!) we keep giving & God keeps giving back PLUS more added on top! It is quite a story He is building into us.
