OK, we were told when we moved close to World Revival Ministry that we could expect both blessings and challenges in our spiritual life.
Yesterday was an example of challenges with a blessing thrown in. When we originally thought we were going to be traveling in our RV throughout the 50 states of the Union we joined the Good Sam's service that would provide road service for our vehicles. At the time we weren't really aware that it covered our cars also, but that is a bonus that we've appreciated more than once now. When Lane was on his way to work the car made a loud and grinding noise, causing him to immediately pull over. He had to have the car towed (that's the blessing part, because we still had towing coverage) to a mechanic. The Good Sam representative had a tough time finding anyone that would take our car to work on it because they consider it too old. The representative finally found someone to work on the car but as soon as the tow truck unloaded our car there, the manager came out telling Lane that they "would not" work on the car, it was too old. I've never heard of a car being refused because of age and it makes me wonder, except that's a whole 'nother conversation. Thank goodness for Google, I was home and able to search online and found a mechanic shop that was rated highly, however he was too busy but still recommended another shop that would accept our broken car, now is the part that is challenging. The mechanic called today and advised us the car would cost $1500 to repair, that is more than we paid for the car. We're down to one car, the truck, and it makes weird noises and the transmission jumps. We are trusting God to provide or to keep the truck running, we have a lot of opportunity to practice living and walking by faith. =}
