New Car!

We made it home from Lifest with the trailer and the car died. Both cars have been giving us a lot of trouble and breaking down almost constantly. We have been praying for a while now about the cars and what to do about them as we also need a roof and have been trying to put money aside for the roof. For the past 4 years we've needed a roof and have had to buy cars instead. This year, both cars were going at the same time so we were looking at $500 cars and trying to get the best thing we could for that money but nothing that sounded any good was coming up so I told my husband, let's wait and keep praying about it and ask God for direction. Last night my father-in-law called my husband's cell phone and asked how our cars were doing. Steve said, oh, not so good and told him a little about what was going on. My FIL said, how would you like one that is running good. He said, that would be nice so we went down last night (they're 1 1/2 hrs away) and picked up a car. We had no idea what he had for us. He wouldn't tell us, he said it was a surprise. Boy, was it a surprise! He gave us a 2004 Mercury Montery! All we had to pay was $105 for the license and title fee. We didn't even have to pay sales tax on it. It is totally a God thing. He is buying a new van and usually uses his "old" one for a trade in but decided, for some reason, to give us his used van. This van has under 30,000 miles on it! We never thought of anything like this. We were trying to get the best deal we could with the little bit of money we had set aside but God had a better idea and gave us something beyond anything we could have hoped for.

We also had a girl in our church who has been trying for 11 years to have a baby but it just wasn't happening. She recently announced that she and her husband are expecting!

If you haven't watched the movie, Facing the Giants I would highly recommend it. It is an awesome movie and both of these miracles remind me of this movie.

I'm so busy I meet myself coming and going right now but, that's o.k. We have VBS coming up and we are going to have one of our horses there for one night to give the kids rides. We're going with a western theme. One of our deacons found some great kids western music for us and we are decorating this Saturday. I'm doing music with 3 other ladies so we're busy with lots of practices trying to get the motions down with the words and everything.

God is good!
