A Big Week


It's been a Big Week. These are a few of the things that happened in our family this week: I wasn't feeling well; Jacob went to the ER in the middle of the night for an ear infection; Kardelen saw the doctor twice for minor injuries; someone used our credit card fraudulently to the tune of nearly $500 (for one really nice pair of sunglasses), and Sofia got her first haircut.

As you can see, it hasn't been all bad; but it has been one very big week.

Looking ahead, we're going to take a trip soon to visit a family member that is passing away. A pastor who visited him wrote a very nice blog post that is quite touching, if you'd like to read it.

With all that happened this week, God has been faithful to our family. I'm so thankful for Him! May your family be blessed in the days ahead, and may you grow in the knowledge of His grace. (I've been learning a lot about grace lately, so I really do mean that--I'll be sharing more in the future.)

WOW!
Is the credit card helping you out with the fraudulent charge?

Jujita--
The credit card company was great about it. They called the company that posted the charge and we did a three-way call to take care of it. We were told we're not liable for the charge, thankfully.

All the same, I'll be a little shy of using my credit card online for a while. (If that's how someone got the info--we still don't know.)

So sorry it has been such a rough week! It can be so scary to encounter identity fraud. I hope Jacob's ears and Kardelen's thumb feel better soon and that everything gets cleared up. Sorry about your family member. That's sad!
