The week that started horrible but ended blessed

This week started really bad. First I am having problems with flooding in my bathroom. So I woke up Monday morning to step in water all over the floor. UGH! After cleaning that up and getting my shower and dressed, I headed out the door to go meet my co-worker to certify some papers. I tried to lock the door to the house and my key went in circles. ( I have a door that you have to use a key to open it once it closes) For security reasons I have a paddle lock on the back door, so getting in by that door wasn't an option. All my windows have security bars on them. I was stuck out of my house. So, I went to get the papers certified and my colleagues went to town to try to find someone to come fix the lock. The only place that knew how to fix it had all their workers out on other jobs. We were told to come back at 2:00. We got there at 1:30 and picked up a lock smith. When we arrived he had to break the lock off the door and manipulate the lock to open the door. We found you can't just replace the lock. They had to take the door off and take it to a welder to remove the old lock and then get another lock and have it re-welded. Finally about 5pm it was finished. Praise God I had a door and lock before dark.

Tuesday I was taking a friends daughter to her therapy, she is only 3 years old, she was crying for her mom and I wanted to comfort her so I attempted to give her an "altoid" mint and I hit a pot hole the entire tin of mints flew in the air and all over the car.

Then later that day I was going out to help a friend who was trying to get a new home due to her hose not being secure, I started out the door only to see another dog that my dog does not like and will fight with every time. Well, when trying to keep him in and let me out I fell off the step and bruised my knee, arm and bottom. I was sore all over.

On Wednesday I helped my friend move into her new house. She had been staying with me for the past 2 weeks after an attempted burglary in the middle of the night. 4 burglars pulled the security bars out of the wall at her bedroom window. So this day was a blessing for her.

Thursday was a public holiday here and I didn't do anything in the morning. Afternoon I had Ladies Bible Study. It is a small intimate group studying about how to have a revival with God in your heart. I am really enjoying this study and the opportunity to get to know these other women more intimately.

Now it is Friday and I am at work with time to update my blog.

Sorry no pictures for this post.
