Another day

I'm heading to bed sad tonight, it happens in relationships and Ellen did not come today, another hitch developed and it will be Monday afternoon at the earliest now and that has me hoping she will ever be able to come to me.

Yet I know God is good and cares for all His children no matter where they are.  I've spent more time on my knees in the last few months than ever before but I can't say I feel that close all the time. I try to listen to the small voice that guides but I often don't hear the voice at all.

This afternoon the girls got their awards for the swim program they have been involved with this summer.  They both did very well and enjoyed their experiences a lot.  They are certainly good swimmers now and that is the very best part.  The ceremony went for a very long time but about 100 people were there to enjoy the whole deal.  I had hoped Ellen would be there but it was not to be so it was bitter sweet for me, another missed opportunity to be part of the family.

God loves us all,

I send my love to you

Friday evening and all is well

Good evening friends and family.

This evening I would like to report that God is doing well and at His post to help all mankind in spite of terrible events and a very sinful world.

My friend Ellen is doing well and very well may travel to meet me tomorrow.  We have been working toward that goal for some time and God has helped us in so many unusual ways along the way.

This has been a very good day with lots of work accomplished, the weather was blessedly cool at just 85 or so and money came in through direct deposit as well as being handed to me as well.  Today for the very first time I did a direct deposit using my IPhone and my bank app.  It went right into the account from my car.  Nifty little app.

This evening Lois came over with soup and we ate on the back deck in the cool evening breezes.  It was very nice.  Lois is looking forward to meeting Ellen, actually all my family and friends are looking forward to meeting Ellen, most have believed she would never make it and up to this point they are right, she is not here but perhaps tomorrow may change that fact.

This afternoon I was able to finally finish an appraisal of a fine home in Saratoga Hills.  It was over 5,000 sf and on an acre.  Lets just say it is worth multi million dollars and most of the purchased in the area for the last year have been CASH purchases, not even a loan.  Amazing how much money there is how there floating around.

Its nice that the Sabbath has arrived.

Love to all

Tim

Good evening

Dear Friends and Family
Could sure use your prayers tomorrow, as usual I'm sure of the outcome but most obstacles to our being together have been removed so tomorrow becomes a rather big day.  Would you pray that God will lead in the way He knows best?  Ellen and I would appreciate that very much.

Today has been a work day, inspected a nice home here in DB this morning while it was cool, worked in the office the rest of the day and enjoyed some success.  Very thankful for the work that comes in and a new order came in today that I'll see tomorrow and pays cash on the spot, wowow.  Love money on the spot.

Thank you for your friendship,

Love to all,



Tim

The girls come to brighten the day

They arrived at 11 and as usual came in with much excitement and job.  They settled in and made it a good day.  Keanna mostly does her IPad (mine) and Kallie picks tomatoes, washes them, washes everything in sight in the kitchen, creates a show with Pooka, the unwilling actor, bothers her sister some and the two of them always create a lively scene.

I was cranking on some appraisals and they let me work.  I enjoyed several excellent times with my significant other who is in Chicago right now and is heading this way soon.  This evening we had a very good sessions as we talked about creating things in the kitchen and I broke the news that I don't like raw onions.  She understood that.

Now I'm back to writing reports again and have the kitchen clean and tidy.

Life is pretty good and will be so much better when Ellen can join me.  Please pray that all the barriers will be broken and she can come even tomorrow, it would be wonderful.

Sending love to all,

Tim

ps so glad Jason survived his sleep study last night.  Those are brutal experiences to go through. 

A Solid Day

Good evening family and friends,
This has been a really good day, things are coming together here and there in my life and for that I am very grateful.

Up and walked this morning, then waded into work in the office and before long it was time for lunch, made a great lunch with white corn, whole wheat tortilla with cheese, fresh tomatoes cut up, salad with more tomatoes.  what a feast and all very good for me.

Got word today that my blood is too thick, 1.7 and the A1C was 8.2, needs to be 7 or less so I still have some work but much better than the 10.7 at its worst.  God is good.

This afternoon saw a property in Pleasanton at 3:03, nice but it was hot, went fast and he had the inside of the home very nice and cool, then on over to Livermore where I did a little purchase that they are paying me $505 to do, have no reason why so high but I guess you can guess that they will have it back tomorrow for that kind of price.

Just did an open lot here in Discovery Bay and now I'm in for the evening to work until I drop.  Last night it was midnight when I went to bed and I was up at 6 this morning wide awake.

Life is certainly interesting these day and I'm loving it, in spite of ups and downs and some tough times its so much better than being bored!

God is good, all the time.

Love


Tim

A night of waiting

Tonight I'm just asking God for His help.  My friend boarded a plane last this evening in London and is flying this way, she said the next time she would call me was when she landed in the States and its too soon for her plane to have arrived yet.  But we can't find any planes that left London, at least British Airways planes, that left in that time slot.  They were going to try to get her on a plane so she might be flying on another airline that we are unaware of but I'm left wondering when I will hear from her, she asked me to keep the phone close to my ear so I would not miss her call and I'll certainly do just that.  So if you are reaching this shortly after I'm writing it please join me in prayer that God can do what we humans cannot do, help figure this mystery out.  I'm waiting to drive to the SFO airport and meet her once she arrives but at this point I'm not sure when that will be.

Thanks for your prayers, they are important.

Love

Tim

Tough day today

This one was tough in nearly every way.  But I'm still on my feet and alive now.

Work is still stacking up and people are getting impatient with my lack of progress.  But God is good and I managed to get a lot out today as well.

My friend and I talked for awhile while I was walking the lake this morning and then later in the day as well.  We hope to be together soon God willing.

This evening I had dinner with Jason and the kiddos plus Clayton, Jo's brother at Olive Garden at the Great Mall in Milpitas.  That was fun.  Timothy is turning 7 tomorrow and will have a nice party on Sunday.  Should be a blast to enjoy.

Well its bed time now, sending love to all,

Tim

Enjoy your Sabbath
