We have been blessed! Yesterday a group of our friends from our church community brought us a gift. We have been struggling to make ends meet, and were feeling pretty hopeless about doing anything about replacing our 250,000 mile Toyota with lots of character (which I have been driving for ten years) - it won't pass emissions testing so we haven't been able to register it, and we felt like we were driving a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment. It needs CV boots, a transmission, a new door for the gas tank, air conditioner repairs... We were pretty low.
And then, last night we were surprised when a friend handed us a set of keys to a 98 Ford Escort wagon in perfect condition. I've cried every time I've told anyone about it - I'm crying now. I just can't believe how loved we are! Our precious new baby will have an air conditioned car to travel in! And I won't worry every day if my husband will make it to and from work! Maybe now I will learn to trust God to take care of us! We have good, good friends!
Below is our new addition, complete with a big red bow.
