Room for God

We are striving to make "room for God" in every part of our lives: in our schedule (with prayer and Adoration), in our relationships with time spent nurturing friendships and in our budget as we use the gifts God has given us to honor Him. As we prayerfully consider the needs of our family, we are blessed to report that we have bought a new car! No, we are not expecting any little angels yet, (not pregnant :)), but we are thrilled that after several months of researching, shopping, waiting, praying and seeking, we have found a new car.....

A few weeks ago, we came across a great deal on a used SUV (much like this one) but we weren't sure if we needed to buy it right then. Well, Gary was recently in a 3-car collision just one week ago. He was hit from behind and that caused him to hit someone in front of him. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but his car was totaled. We are thankful for good car insurance, which allowed us to receive a GREAT payoff for Gary's car (his 2004 Malibu-which we miss dearly!) Gary and I both have taken great care of our cars and it has paid off! We're still praying about selling/keeping my car, but for now...we have a much safer, beautiful vehicle for us, our families, and hopefully some extra precious(tiny)cargo soon! What a beautiful home and now .... a car God has given us!

We bought a 2008 Ford Explorer with low mileage and great features! We are having a blast "talking" to the car while it dials our phones for us, plays our music and allows us to be hands-free. It's a great car for weekend trips, which we try to schedule into our busy lives, in order to take some time to just enjoy each other, visit family and friends, and enjoy God's beautiful creation!
