Title: Thank you so much from Mark & The Kids
Post by Mark C on Jul 3^rd, 2007, 4:03pm

We are OK.

Still settling in and really busy..it's all good.
I am getting much done every day toward getting back on my feet. I still have a way to go but I am moving forward.
There has been quite an adjustment to this but we are in a safe and clean place. God has a plan.

There have of course been much pain involved with this and there is still much to deal with most of which I am not sure how, but I have faith.

I have a new mailing address if anyone would care to write;

Mark Cox
Shafer Family Center
409 N. Broadway
Knoxville, TN 37917

I am hoping to get my cell back on soon as possible then I can make some calls. Phone usage is very limited where we are.

I am at The Library now having completed my initial assesment phase I have some more freedom now.

I want to thank all of you so much for the help in so many ways, money, prayers, cards....I have been overwhelmed.....you guys are truly friends, more than I have ever had.

The kids are good, the food is good and we are positive in our spirits, God has been very good to us.

I will be in touch a little more often now that I can get out.

There has been a bit of "culture shock" for the kids moving from the country to downtown but I have been able to show and teach them much about our town, Knoxville. It has really been fun at times.

It is a long way from over....not working yet but I am sure that in the next week or two I will. Child care, transportation etc are still some hurdles.

I love you guys.......again......thank you so much for all you have done.

Mark,

I am hoping that your mail from your old address was forwarded to you as "you had mail" from me and others also, I believe.

Please check on it. Please!

Mark you guys are in our prayers. Keep that positive attitude, it'll help not only you but the kids will pick up on it. I have said it before here and I believe its true, some of the best things in my life have come from the worst. Everything has a way of coming together. Take for instance in September 2000. I lost everything I owned. My coffee pot shorted out during the night and caught the house on fire. What the fire didn't ruin, water and smoke damage did.. I had been working a job I hated. To make a long story short, I found a job in the paper that day that I love and it has taken me far. Everything happens for a reason, just have faith.

Wishing you well
Matt

Hi Mark,

I am glad to hear things are on the right track. However, I understand that its still a long road to travel yet and life roads are not well maintained, there are many pot holes and ditches, many are not foreseeable or avoidable. So please remember that I am here for you anytime you need and I will do anything I can to help. Dont ever hesitate to ask. I am only a PM/email away.

Please give the kids a hug for me. :-*

Take care.

I am so glad to hear you are doing better with that IRS crap....I have prayed for you.....something about hard times that makes me a litte closer to God.. ;;D
Thank you for the mail too...little things like laundry are a challenge....we somehow seem to get it done!

You all have been so good to throught the years and I am still overwhelmed by the friendships I have made here.....this place is truly amazing!

Thank you DJ!!

If all goes well with child care and transportation next week I should be back in workforce by months end and will be out of the "loop" in 90 days or so, at least that is my plan. Sometimes God's plan is a little different.. ;;D

We went to the Worlds Fair Park yesterday and we had a great time....it was nice to take a day off and just hang out with "normal" folks.. ;;D
