Yesterday the kiddos, myself and my mom in law went out to take Jenna shopping at the Disney store for her birthday. So while driving there my van which has been making some crazy noises for a while now, and we know that it needs a radiator because our leaks but to plain honest we just don't have the cash to fix it, so we waited. Well while driving yesterday we broke down 3 times. First seriously I thank God I wasn't alone with kiddos, and that MIL was with me. The first time we broke down near the Water Dept, which was funny considering we overheated and needed water. So MIL walked across the street to fill up our jug with water at the water dept. Got to the mall Grammy took Jenna shopping, then time to go home. Started off and broke down again, pulled over the side of the road, MIL stayed with the kids while a walk a little over a mile to the little store we had passed to by more water and oil and walked back....(by the way while we were broke down NO ONE stopped to help nice world we are living in) tended to the van then again headed home. Then again we broke down at least we weren't way to far from home and my sweet neighbor who is a cop found us just finishing up tending to the van. He followed us home to make sure we made it then he was off. We walked into our home and I just about kissed my kitchen floor....and just about set my van on fire. So now we wait...wait on the Lord. We either buy a new van (which we don't have the money for) or spend the thousands of dollars to get our van fixed (when repairs cost more then the actually worth of the van, and we don't have the money for) So what do we do? Well we are put in a challenge to see how long we can go without a family car and if we are really going to trust God to provide. My spirit says yes but boy does my flesh scream wait a minute...what about....
Sure we have Mike's little car but we don't all fit, so we be making do with what we have and trusting God.
Stayed tuned to see how we actually do with this challenge and how God comes through.
