Jehovah Jireh
Jehovah Jireh is Hebrew meaning, "The Lord Provides." Inspite of our unfaithfulness he remains ever faithful to his children - to those who love him.
We are thankful unto the Lord that he has provided for us a new vehicle. Our old Mercury Sable was quickly dying on us (head gasket problem). We had no heat in the passenger compartment and yet the car constantly overheated causing the engine to sputter. A couple weeks ago we began looking for a replacement vehicle.
Yesterday, we were going to the Department of Motor Vehicles, when about three blocks away a huge plume of smoke began pouring out of the engine compartment. The seal finally went and there was oil splattered all over the engine compartment. We were able to park in front of the DMV.
Thankfully, we were only about three blocks from where Sarah's mom works so she was able to let us borrow her car in order to get back to Northville. We had our car towed to a local shop and are hoping to sell it for a little extra cash.
Well, the good news is that the reason we were at the DMV is because we bought a new vehicle. We had to have our licenses changed over to NY in order to purchase the vehicle. The Lord has provided us with a 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan. It is the newest vehicle we have ever owned. It has 66K miles on it and has heat, A/C (previous luxuries), a CD player, and many other features. We are thankful that we do not have to face an upstate NY winter without heat and with a car that overheats. We also now have plenty of room for more children! :)
It is dark out now, but I will take some pictures of it tomorrow for all to see. For those who have prayed that God would provide - we thank you for your prayers. He has provided immeasurably more than we could have imagined. We are very greatful.
By the way - for the ladies reading this - the minivan is white.
