So this weekend on our way home from Tigard our Honda died on us on the Interstate. So we called AAA and waited for our tow truck. Got the Honda home and started thinking about what we will need to do since this is Pats car that he drives to work every day. We can't afford for him to drive the truck to work more then just every once in a while.
So I called my Birth Grandma who I knew had a car for sale a little while back, I did not know if she had sold it yet or not. She still had the car and was willing to just give it to us. I was not comfortable with that since I knew they had put money into the car. So they offered to trade my shotgun for the car. So we brought the car home and found out is had a dead battery, no big deal, so went down to the auto parts store and got a new battery for it. We also talked with someone who works there and is a Honda guy and asked about our Honda. He was pretty sure it's a relay for the fuel system so we bought that part and will put it on today or tomorrow.
We are going to sell the Honda once we get it up and running again. We will use that money to put towards our new van that we will be getting after the first of the year with our tax return. I can't wait to get our new van and have all that room for all three kids and the dog with room to pack our stuff when we got on small trips.
Right now we normally travel in the Honda and with two car seats, me, Pat, and the dog. Then add all our stuff on top of all that, there is not much room left for leg room or anything else. So the van will be nice to stretch out a little.
The new to us car is such a blessing to us. We know that God is providing for us in every way possible. We may not always see it but he really is. I do admit I have moments of doubt. I try not to but I'm only human. I try and pray and ask for help when I have doubt. I try and talk with Pat to help me have better faith when I have doubt.
I know that God will provide in all we do and always be there for us no matter what we are going through. I also know that God will never give us more then we can handle.
