God is so good!!

I know its been a long time since I've posted, but aside from lots of stuff happening, I just wasnt sure if anyone really read this thing anyway!!! LOL!!!!

Anyhow...God is AMAZING!!! We've had a great weekend, and I thought I'd share it with ya!

In my last post, I mentioned Tyler's glasses, and the problem he had in his right eye. Well, we had his follow up visit after school yesterday. The nurse came in, did a vision test, tested his glasses to make sure they were the right prescription (they are), then took some notes, and left, then we waited for the dr. to come in. He came in, and did another vision test on Tyler. He said he was shocked and amazed! Tyler's vision had improved so drastically, he didnt believe the nurse's notes! So he wanted to do the test again to see for himself!!! He just sat there for a minute, and looked at me. Then he said 'we got really lucky! I really had thought the brain had already shut off in that eye, but it hasn't, and its gotten so much better so quickly!' Little does dr know, we're not lucky, we're BLESSED!!!!!! A month ago, Tyler's vision in his right eye was 20/100, now, its between 20/30-20/40! The dr. just really didnt have much to say! He was so impressed and speechless! He still wants to do a few more things to strengthen his right eye, and get his vision even closer to 20/20, but he is super happy for now!!!!

Then, as if that blessing wasn't enough, God REALLY wanted to show himself to me yesterday! We began the process for a loan modification back in early June. Through lots of ridiculous-ness and crazy-ness, they finally told us we should know, either way, if we were approved or not, by mid-August. I've been calling and calling, being the 'squeaky wheel' my realtor told me to be, and still have just been told 'keep waiting, we're working on it'. So when I called to get an update yesterday, he pulled our file, said we were approved, and our new payment is over $500 LESS per month!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just in shock! I couldn't believe it!!!! GOD IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are two of the big blessings we've gotten lately, and I just had to share!!! Below are also some pictures of what has been keeping so much of my attention lately.......school!!! School started August 17 this year, and this was my first year of teaching from the BEGINNING of the school year!!! WOOHOO!!! For those of you that arent aware, I came on board as a teacher in the school I'm at now, at the beginning of the second quarter! I basically had come into a classroom that needed some 'cleaning up'. But this year I got to start from scratch! I have attached some pictures of my classroom. We have a 'race car' theme this year! So far, its a great year too!! I can't wait to see what else God has in store!!!!!

God Bless ya'll!!!!
