It's been 100 days of blogging goodness! The Lord has supported me and given the discipline to keep writing, good or bad, through these past three plus months. I look forward to walking with you through 200 and finally 365 days.
I'd like to share that the Lord is really allowing us to be tested lately. For those who know me well, you understand that we've recently had our truck repaired to the tune of over $1600. One of the issues we paid to fix has cropped up again, but tonight the truck left us stranded. It's been running fine for months, but suddenly tonight at the store, click. It wouldn't turn over. Lights went off, buzzers and the lift-gate (and about a dozen relays) triggered. It was unexpected, and quite disappointing. After going through the worst case options, we thought it may be a bad battery. Odd though- it's been fine for months, until we had it worked on recently...
A quick phone call to our family friends brought a pair of jumper cables and a good running car. Once boosted, the truck promptly came to life. After idling for a few minutes, our friend left and we decided to loop past Les Schwab to see about buying a new battery. Seeing that they were closed, we turned around and headed for a Napa parts store which was on the way home. No dice, they were also closed. As we cruised along the path toward home, the truck suddenly died again. A kind man stopped to help, as I was pushing the truck into a parking space at a local credit union. We jumped the truck a second time and headed straight home. Thankfully, the Lord saw fit to allow us to complete the journey. Ironically, once in our driveway, the truck continued idling for another 15 minutes, until we chose to shut it down.
Our family friends came through again, lending us a battery charger we're leaving on the truck overnight. Tomorrow, we're hoping to isolate the issue and escape without having to pay through the nose on repairs. We're clinging to the hope and promise of God's protection and provision!
Good Night
