It’s Died A Slow Death….
my car that is. Anyone following along knows the car issues I’ve had. Well a couple days ago all hope wasn’t lost – it could be fixed if I came up with $300.00. As of today it’s official, my car will never run again. The parts are now up to like $364.00 and it’s a bigger project than the gentleman (from church) can do (it requires pulling the entire engine out, changing a bunch of gears (it’s a stickshift), changing a couple chains, etc. If I were to take it to a garage it would be double the $364 (because all he was charging me was parts and not labor). And the thing about putting any $ into fixing it is that that wouldn’t even guarantee that it would keep it running for very much longer!
I was a bit freaked the past 3 weeks not having a car but it’s even freakier knowing that this car won’t be fixed and I have no way to get financing for a new car or to get a different car period. I know that with God nothing is impossible but let me tell you in a human’s mind this is a lost cause especially if you knew the situation with my finances:-(
So I guess I’ve survived 3 weeks without a car I can survive for however much longer it’s going to be before I’m financially able to do something – now that’s a scary thought!

Hi Tishia,
I know that with Mary’s and my financial situation, that even though Mary kept telling me to not worry about how we were going to pay our bills, that God will provide, it wasn’t until I really did, that someone showed up that Mary and I feel we can trust to rent the house we have been trying to sell, just as I was ready to begin not paying the mortgage on the old place and let the bank to begin to foreclose on it. I had already started talking to the bank about some other mortgage/loan options, but they weren’t getting back to me I even went to the bank personally to get it done (just like we learned in Crown Financial’s class) and after a productive meeting, the bank never got back to me on whether they would help Mary and I out. Then we got a renter that looks to be good and will pay everything.
So hopefully you are still with me here. I get the feeling God has something big for you and Caleb coming up. Just hang in there and if you need a ride, Mary and I can help when we can especially, if it is between Gaylord and the Boyne area. We are still thinking about you and Caleb with all of this.

I agree with Jeff…. God’s got something big in store for you… He’s using you and you just don’t know it… (He’s sneaky like that…)
You’re going to be just fine…. everything is going to work out like it’s supposed to… keep your eyes open and focused on Him.. and take the time to listen… He’s going to be speaking…
