So Tracy and I have been extremely blessed by so many people who helped out in contributing to our car fund! We are feel so loved by so many people. We actually met our goal! I had communicated with my mom to bring me cashier's checks so we can purchase the vehicle. You see I was confused and for a moment I thought they were interchangeable. So when my mom and sister came and I took the checks to the bank I was very surprised when I heard that it would take 4-6 weeks to have the check cleared...my heart sank. I was to return home with a large sum of money and I thought I would be able to get a vehicle for my family by the weekend. I went home and broke the news to Tracy...we were both heart broken. I admitted to her that I needed to repent...I had idolized this vehicle, thought it would rescue my family and make our lives so much more convenient...and thus better. As I knelt by my bed that afternoon and asked The Lord to forgive me of my idolatry...I felt a peace of our future. So here we are waiting...and enjoying life! Jesus is so good to my family and I...and He is showing me so much as I wait on Him.
