A NEW (to us) CAR!

car 1 car 2

As many of you know Kristin and I have been in need of a second car for quite some time. Kristin totaled her car shortly before our wedding in March and we’ve been sharing a car ever since. This worked for us while we were in Lakeland since she worked where I went to school. However, the difficulties of having only one car were multiplied when we moved to Sarasota last week. I’m working at the church and Kristin is staying at home.

We have been praying that God would either point us to just the right car or supply one for us. Sunady morning I got an e-mail from my Nana, who just got a new car. We were thinking about purchasing her 1998 Toyota Camry. Her e-mail informed us that she felt like God told her to give us her car. We were thrilled to say the least! We went and picked it up on Tuesday. It’s in great condition and runs well! It has already been a huge blessing to have two cars. The amazing part is that someone had come up to Kristin at church on Saturday night and told her that he felt like someone was going to give us a car…God is good. Speaking of church…Our church met in a field last week. A field. More on that later.
