A Story of Loaves and Fishes,

As most of you know, we were in an auto accident. We lost the only vehicle that we had.

We did receive 2,000.00 for a van that I had driven for well over 4 years and that van needed ALOT!!!. That van was used for everything too. From taking the folks shopping to taking a load of teens to the mountains hiking and everything in between.

When looking at 2,000.00 and trying to find another vehicle...well lets just say that it would seem mostly impossible to find a vehicle without having to add more payments in the future.

A friend also gave us 100.00 last weekend and said that he wanted us to put it towards our next vehicle.

Of course...I asked everyone for prayer, like I have always done in the past when challenges have arisen.

Where two or more agree...stand together believing...God moves...right?

But still, 2,100.00 just didn't seem like it would be enough to meet the need. I kept confessing God's word...and talking with Him about what it was that I wanted. Several times I would get so frustrated, confused and down right mad. I wasn't out to impress anyone or turn heads I just wanted a vehicle to get me where I needed to go.

So I just continued standing, looking hoping and believing that the need would be met.

I even prayed for the cab driver that had caused the accident just so that I know that I had forgiven him.

Well, Tuesday...I found an inexpensive vehicle...and it is actually a nice car. Believe it or not, it was just 700.00. It runs real nice, looks good and doesn't leak or smoke. It was 2 more days before we received the tags ( a little more frustration)...but now we can drive and it and I decided that it will be my sons first car.

Thursday, I looked at a van to replace the van I had driven. It also looks good...runs real nice and is also inexpensive. Actually, it is a lot better then the van I had lost in the accident and it even has air conditioning.

To top it all off...the last day for driving the rental was also the day I made the purchase of the van.

(if there are minor needs to either vehicle...we will just do what needs to be done as we bought them as is)

The way I see it...God took the 2,100.00 and made it enough to meet a need of mine and a desire of my sons.

When I looked and saw “just not enough”...God made it more than enough and we even ended up with a few dollars left over for license plates and possibly a burger.

To God be the Glory.
