thanks misshayleesmom, you can uncross them now!! God is at work ... and things are coming together .. this will be a great new start for me ... and thanks to me already learning what I can and can't do MS-wise ... it's all new to me - and I have a real peace about it all.

thanks, AMN - I learned that we are like little birds - praying for help (but sitting with our wings still fluttering) ... then get up from praying and decide that He didn't answer, so we flit off and do something dumb! ... we need to just sit still .. and give Him a chance to answer ... He always knows what we need - even before we ask!

DM - I KNOW that you have front row tickets with Him ... ... lots can happen when He's driving .. thanks!!

Thanks, Chemar ... there were some unexpected instances yesterday - and I was ready to knock them down ... but, when the situation unfolded - it was so much better than I had even imagined!!

Kelly - I know you've been hanging with me from the beginning ... and I thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and cards of encouragement ... the miracles that happen with just 42c .. thank you!!

Idealist - it is difficult deciding .. especially when you have someone help you - you don't want to hurt their feelings if you don't feel it's the right thing for you! I had to be kind to tell my friend that I truly thanked her and appreciated all the help - but she needs to take care of herself .. and it's okay to let me go .. it'll all work out .. the best to you with your new home - and to pay into the downpayment to purchase is an awesome step!!
