Funny Story

As comical as this might sound, we had car trouble again this weekend. We were on the freeway on Friday and we were stopping pretty hard, and lo and behold, are breaks were barely working and the steering wheel was shaking very badly. Now, I know what many of you are thinking right now..."Brett, you have got to take care of that wife of yours and your baby that she is carrying!" I know, I know, I felt the pressure too. So, yesterday we did not go to church and took our car to the shop to get the breaks, tires and alignment looked at. (Quick note: I have changed the breaks, rotors, fluid, and tires on my vehicles before but because of where we live and what little tools we have, it makes it quite difficult to do the necessary repairs...so I feel I am still being a steward of what God has given us by taking it to a shop.) Well, earlier in the week Holly and I were given a $500 gift for "immediate" use in preparing for the arrival of the baby. I don't know much that is more important than having a safe vehicle for the baby to ride in, right? All that to be said, the bill for the work was $493.98, which caused both of us to burst out laughing because God completely provided us with the ability to pay for the necessary work with some money to spare. God is in control and He is the Great Provider who takes care of His children.

Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel,
who alone does marvelous deeds.

Praise be to his glorious name forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his glory.
Amen and Amen.

~Psalm 72:18-19
