This story began 3 years and 4 months ago, on Darin's first night back at work after we had Ava, our oldest daughter, he was involved in an almost head on collision by someone failing to yield to his oncoming car (patrol car no less!). By the grace of our Wonderful God, no majorly serious damage was done (minus 13 broken teeth, bruises, and a concussions). Ironically enough the more severe damage was to our bank account. Darin was out for 6 weeks and was on light duty pay (which is a pittance) so needless to say the bank account took a head on hit too. But yesterday after 9 hours of direct mediation and almost 4 years of wondering if claiming an insurance settlement even worth it (we still think yes and no) God came through for us to the effect that we will now be able to have better buffer between us and these crazy financial economic times. God's grace and mercy has given us almost exactly to the penny the amount needed for Darin's remaining school loans and the last of some smaller credit card loans. There is a saying at our church and probably at many others that goes "God is good-- All the time", and it can almost be something you say without thought, but yesterday for my family He pointed out that He really is good in His unique way ALL the time of His time table.
All I can say is Thank you Lord.
CONGRATS! That's got to be a huge weight lifted!
