January Blessings




Wow, 2010 has started off wonderful for our family. We got our tax situation with the IRS resolved after many years of it hanging over our heads. It was resolved to our satisfaction. With my husband having been self-employed for many years, this is a HUGE, HUGE blessing to have this situation off of us after so long. I would like to interject here for anyone out there who might be in our shoes, there are so many commercials on TV of firms offering to settle your tax debt for pennies on the dollar. What they don't tell you in the commercials is they charge a huge fee for this service and this is something you can do yourself. You don't need a tax firm like this to handle this for you. We just stayed in touch with the IRS and let them know of any changes in our income. They saw we were trying and finally just wrote the rest of it off. That could only be a God thing!


On another bright note, my husband has been laid off for the past 5 months. He had a job interview today, so praying that went well! God is good!


Life is good. I am expecting great things from 2010!


Blessings!


Susan

Being fairly new to your blog, I don't know the details behind your tax situation, but I'm glad it all worked well in your favor. I'm sure you're right about those firms who claim to want to help you. Good advice.

My prayers go out to your family during your husband's job search.

I am happy to read that your hubby got a job he had been hoping for. I always wondered what those commercials involved pertaining to the IRS. It seems the government has been kind by it's action involving your past debt. Having been able to resolve the legal aspect on your own is good news for anyone in a similar situation. Things are sure looking up for you. mark/salty

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MY LOVE!~

Thirty years ago today, October 7, 1978, I was in a white dress and veil walking down the isle to say I do to the love of my life, Donnie. Just months before, I had broken off an engagement with another guy that I had dated for probably 1.5 years. Donnie had also just been through a prior fairly long relationship where there had been talk of marriage. It is at this time of my reminiscing that I am glad that those prayers I prayed to God to be with the one prior to Donnie went unanswered. Donnie, too, had prayed and prayed about being with his prior girlfriend. They had planned to grow old and gray together and he was quite devastated when she broke things off with him, but you see, God had another plan… It started one night when my sister wanted me to go with her to her boyfriend, Melvin’s church to meet a friend of his. She was telling me how goodlooking she thought this guy was and how she felt we would be perfect for each other. I still wasn’t over my boyfriend, but I went along wit...

Tonight...

I have learned why I have pretty much become a hermit and keep to myself. I obviously don't have sense enough to socialize or be in public. I never seem to say the right things. Is there not anybody out there that understands me and won't judge me? Is there anybody I can talk around without fear of saying the wrong thing and being misunderstood? That knows me well enough to know I do not have a mean bone in my body, and that knows I am a good person, a person worth knowing. I am repeatedly told I get too involved. If I do, it's because I care. Why does that always have to be such a bad thing? We went to Wal-Mart today to pick up a few things. My son and daughter were with me. He kept getting on to me for getting in people's way. I was oblivious. They were getting angry with me. It sux to be sick and not have a brain anymore. I will be driving and have blank-outs. Notice I did not say black out, I said blank-out. Everything I know will just leave me, my mind just goes bl...
