Days 313 - 318 Odds & Ends

My family stayed in a cabin near the Mission Mountains over the weekend, along with my mother-in-law, her husband, and a friend from Russia.





I find that I'm a bit on edge around my mother-in-law, but nothing that a shorter visit can't cure! I am thankful that the Lord has at least healed our relationship enough that we can both be in the same room with each other and visit with our families.





My husband and I are trying to refinance our home from a 6.5% 30-year mortgage to a 4.5% 20-year mortgage. If the appraisal is satisfactory, it should go through without a hitch. This will save us nearly $700/month in personal debt. Although the mortgage payment will increase by a few hundred dollars, we'd still be saving money monthly. So we are praying about the refinance.

As well, we are discussing the possibility for me to return to work part-time in the nearby future. We will see how this pans out, as well.

Philippians 2:13 says, "For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose."
