Mississippi Part 2
Grace to You -- and Peace
The
month of June was an interesting one. We wrapped up ministry in
Louisiana, and were passing through Mississippi on our way to Tennessee.
While back in Picayune, MS, we took the camper into the repair shop to
have some work done.
We didn't anticipate a
$4200 bill in repairs, but that's what needed to
happen. The rainy season brought about some leaks, and the air
conditioners weren't working right, along with several other things.
So we took the RV to the garage knowing that we didn't have the resources enough to cover it, and by the grace
of God, everything was taken care of!! A check from the military came
in; mind you, we had been waiting for this check for over a year now!!
It covered one third of the bill!! We emptied out our savings again, and
with the help of a few friends; all of our needs were met!
This is where faith grows... On top of the $4200 repair bill, after we left Picayune, Mississippi; our camper completely broke down on us.
We had it towed to Clanton, Alabama through AAA, and discovered that it was the fuel pump (another $1200). And just when we least expected it, our van began to make this grinding noise, to which we took it to the shop, and found out our brakes were almost completely out (another $500). That's not to mention the hotel bill that's been accumulating as we've been temporarily displaced.
While I know the Lord is more than able to provide for our needs; being
displaced for the last week has really made me question if we're making
a difference (you know... doing the right thing). Until yesterday.
Tobiah went out early morning to carry the cross, and about mid afternoon texted me to say that he was with a reporter. She had just quit her previous job to pursue journalism, and was talking to her mom the night before, asking for prayer because she needed encouragement, and a sign from God that she was doing the right thing. Well, the next day, she got her first assignment! ...A man carrying a cross!
She was so encouraged as she sat with Tobiah to talk about the Lord, and all that he's done. I'm convinced that the Lord had us here just for her, and it encouraged me too! That we're in the right place, at the right time, and God is sovereign!!
Now to move back into our camper soon, and hopefully be done with all the repairs. Can I get an "amen!"
