PRAISE THE LORD !! DANIEL IS GOINGII

Yesterday, I posted about him not being able to go to school yet. Well, we had two miracles happen. When Daniel told me, I immediately got online, wrote to Thuy, the student recruiter, who has been helping me with processing him through several channels. I made several attempts to get in touch with the school but none of the departments were answering. I knew they were busy. I did, however, get in touch with the welding instructor by the name of Al. He and I talked about the processing and the lack of communication in the different departments. He said that Daniel was not the only one who has been through this craziness.

Soon after lunch, Daniel called and said that Al, the teacher, had called him at home and said to come down Thursday for orientation. Wow..an answer to prayer already. He drove to the office and picked up the gas card and as we left the parking lot in back of the business, he saw that his tire was flat. He didn't think he had a spare. I then called my loyal tire man, "Mr Shaffer" who was closing in 15 minutes. I told him of my emergency. He said if I could get there he could help.

Daniel and I drove over and explained that we needed help. One of his guys came over put the spare on and we went back to put four new tires on. The miracle here was the timing. If I'd left any later we wouldn't have gotten the help unless I called the tow truck which eliminated more expenses. He finally was able to leave and arrived in Phoenix about 11:45 PM.

Wow..God is good. He is the one really who provided this opportunity and the funding for Daniel. He could have been turned down and he still could have been on the waiting list. Praise the Lord.

THE 1982 DENVER BLIZZARD

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s...

The war had begun and it was given the operation name “Desert Storm”. My son Steven was in the marines and already had traveled to the Philippines, Germany and then he was sent to Saudi Arabia where he and several other marines would push through to Kuwait. His responsibility was to defuse land mines placed in the desert floor by the enemy. My husband Richard and I and children all nestled snug in our beds in Mesa, Arizona while all of this was going on. We fervently prayed each night for his and his fellow soldiers safety and protection. I believed in my heart that he would return but it was very difficult to think of him in harms way. He is my eldest son and I spent years preparing him for his future as a leader. Many months passed with no word from him. Steven was stationed there from August to the month of March the following hear. During Christmas I put up a special tree, a small pine with lights which would be called “Steven’s tree”. Since he was not there we were to remember him...
