1.  I talked to five banks yesterday, and we found a bank in Arkansas that is in the town where we will be living.  They have a great loan that is perfect for our needs.  Praise God!

2.  A plumber came yesterday and fixed our shower (an old issue that we had decided we should fix before selling).  I had him take a look at the hall bath next to Lucy's room.  He said it looked dry by the tub, but he wasn't sure where the moisture in her room was coming from.  Her carpet is still damp.  We are drying it out with a fan today.  Dave caulked the tub two nights ago, so tonight we will use it and see if her carpet gets wet again.  If so, then we know that his caulking job didn't solve the problem, and we may have to open up the wall to figure out where the water is coming from.  This is a huge deal; please pray that this is resolved by the caulk!

3.  I had a guy from church come out and look at the sagging sheetrock in the kitchen.  He will be doing this job for us, and should be able to get started either today or Saturday.  It doesn't appear that there is a problem with the roof.  He thinks there used to be, and the sheetrock wasn't replaced then.  He will also be putting up the new shed.  He will also repair the wall where the plumber had to cut a hole to fix the shower.

4.  Today, I am going to try to find a brother in need of work who will chop up the tree for us.  I'm writing so many checks these days, my head is spinning.

5.  My spirit is okay.  I am having to make a conscious decision to focus on what God is doing and has done instead of what looms in front of me.  I know this much--He's doing great things, He's done great things, and He will do great things for us.  He never fails.  He never sleeps.  He never goes on vacation.  He's here and He's moving, and I have to trust that. 

I'm gonna go worship and put the Enemy in confusion.  He doesn't have a chance.
