I was all set to write a blog to Santa.
Telling him of all the things on my list.

like this...
this...
this...
and finally this.
But then it struck me.
I'm a religious person.
Shouldn't I be talking to someone else about these?
Although I KNOW that praying to God for material items is NOT the way to get into heaven.
But then I'm struck with inspiration again.
(or maybe the Holy Ghost is working overtime)
What about the Lord's time?
I'm sure he knows the student loans are KILLING us.
And that without those looming over our heads we could afford a car large enough for our growing family.
He also gave me a wonderful community with sidewalks and great friends that all support me in a more active lifestyle.
And parents that offered up a rebuilt computer that could hold the over-abundance of pictures I create.
In the Lords time.
Things ARE changing.
Just never as fast as I want them.
I'm sure there are things slowly happening around me that can help take care of all these needs.
For example, Larry had his first official trial as Public Defender.
And WON!
This will establish him as a the BEST attorney the PD's office has ever seen. And then he will eventually be promoted and create more income for us.
The Lord has even kept our vehicles up and running.
Even with both being over 120,000 miles they keep going and going and going...
He has also given all of us health as we slipped by this past year with no health insurance.
And he gave us a new, strong, healthy daughter.
That wasn't supposed to be.
Because technically without my thyroid medication I'm not supposed to be able to hold on to babies.
But I did!
I think from now on I'll change who I send MY Christmas letters to.
And instead of wants, they'll be filled with "thank you's".
