UPDATED

Hey, I just wanted to send out a prayer request or two.

On Friday, my Dad did something to his back, and now it's really hurting him. We're all praying that it will heal soon.

And then there has been some trouble with our renters and their payments. We can't get hold of them. We lost their phone numbers so we (obviously) couldn't call them. Mom drove three hours down yesterday afternoon just to find them not at home, the doors unlocked, the television and lights on, the house a mess, and the lawn not mown yet this year. She left a note, asking them to call us and, guess what? They haven't called.
Not only are they 8 days past the 10 day grace period with their payments, but if they don't pay, we don't have money to go on vacation.
So please be praying about that for us.
Thanks.

UPDATE:
We managed to talk to the renters last night, and, if all goes well, most of the stuff should be worked out by Friday.
Thanks for your prayers!

Prayers.

Hey, I just wanted to update really quick so that Judi doesn't pester me! Yes, Zoe, I got your tag, but don't have time for it right now, so it's going to have to wait for a while.
Rapunzel got a job and started it yesterday. It's a funny story, actually. She and I needed to re-fill our air tank at the gas station so that we could pump up our bike tires. So, Dad sent us down to A----(a little town down the road), saying there was a gas station there. No gas station. So we decided 'hey, there's two stations that we pass on the way to church. We can just run down there really quick.' We stopped at the first one to find that air is $1.00 there! And we only had one quarter and small change. Attached to the gas station is a Subway restaurant, so we went in there to exchange nickles, dimes, and pennies for three quarters. (they were very nice about it). 'Punzel saw the 'Now hiring Part-Time Days' sign, applied, blah blah blah, and eventually got a job working at a different Subway. But we never did get that air. =)
She started work yesterday and came out of the restaurant smelling like sandwiches. Today she works from 9-2, tomorrow she gets off, and then her hours fluctuate.





We're in need of prayers at the moment. My Grandpa (not the one who fell when we were moving, this is my Dad's dad) had a stroke Sunday morning, and apparently it was a rather bad one. Last I heard, the doctors are not sure how much damage was done to his brain, or to what parts of it. We were down at the hospital in Illinois Sunday afternoon, last night, and we're going down again today, as soon as Rapunzel is done with work. Last night, Dad said the Dr. said that he may not live much longer.
I'm glad that we're here now. I mean, in January, while we were wanting to move, my Grandmother (Mom's grandma) died in Iowa. If we had been moved, we would have had to drive three hours to be with her one last time, instead of thirty minutes. Now we are moved, and are only 45/60 minutes from Grandpa's hospital, instead of 2 1/2 hours.
Please pray for us.

Look at the post below.

PRAY!

We're in need of prayer today, as we move everything out of our house. It's raining, and it has rained a lot in the past day, and we need a dry front yard so we can back up the truck to the door. Sitting here in my grandparents' office and looking out the the window, there is a rivulet coming out of the drain under the road, across the yard, and flowing down the hill. This is bad. There are flash-flood warnings for our area until tonight.
I'll try to write again tonight, so y'all know how everything went. I need to eat breakfast now.
