New Wheels

I am scared to ask God the big stuff sometimes. I don't know if it is lack of faith or afraid of not getting the answer I want, probably a bit of both. Our car is old and I have come to despise it over the past year. We had to take it into the shop twice for gas issues within the last month. I was really struggling with putting money into a car that is going to die (or fall apart from rust) at any given moment! Ok, I mean, it still runs, but when you add two babies to the equation, it changes things.

Part of me never wanted to ask God for a new car because he should know how bad our car is, right? Well, I came to realize this was flawed thinking. God wants us to ask him things. To talk to him about our life. To place our worries at his feet. So that is what we did. We put the whole situation in God's hands before Brion left for the mechanics. When Brion returned a half hour later, he told me that someone at our church wante to donate a car to someone and our pastor was going to find out more info about it for us.

One week later; we now have a 2001 Jetta sitting in our driveway that was completely free. And that wasn't all. We still had to fix our car (it was actually leaking gas!), but God provided all the money to cover that expense and then some!

We gotta trust God with the little things and the big things. His reminders of his goodness and sovereignty are always nice too!
