Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5

I wrote earlier about our troubles with my car. I wasn't worried about it, I was at peace, God is going to take care of us. It was really strange though because even my husband didn't seem too worried about it. With his work schedule there would only be one week a month where being a one car family would be an issue, we would make it work.

We met Eric's Aunt and cousin for lunch as they were passing through town. On the way home the text chime sounded on Eric's phone , it was his childhood friend Josh, who remains a good friend our family. He was chattering about this and that, I was relaying what Eric wanted to say and adding my own "Hi how are ya's" We got on the subject of our car related woes. Josh is an excellent mechanic as well as a computer guru so I told him about it. He piped up with, "Hey I can get you a GREAT deal on a car!" I was like, go on... We had discussed getting a replacement car but were on the fence about it. This one was perfect size , priced within our budget and I firmly believe put there for us. I was trying not to get excited. I started praying again then I opened up my ipad to read ahead in the B90Days (Bible in 90 Days) schedule. I came across this verse :

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord you God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9

It's sad that God had to remind me that he's taking care of this.. the slightest little thing and my faith was starting to waver. How sad is that?! Eric makes a few phone calls to 2 different banks, seeing how good of an interest rate we could get (yay for good credit!) The car is ours!

Tuesday Eric calls from work.. hey.. I have an offer to go work for 2 weeks in South Carolina, do you mind if I take it. Eric hasn't taken an out of town job since our three year old was born. I told him sure, go for it, we would be fine! The extra money he would make out there would replenish our savings a little and help out quiet a bit. An added bonus is Eric's nephew is to be staying with us those same 2 weeks. He's a huge help and a great kid, so I will have a hand with the kids while Eric is gone. Another blessing with God's perfect timing. The only way I can think of ending this post is with this :

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.

Psalms 107:1
