“Do not be anxious for your life, as to what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor for your body as to what you will put on…..” Matthew 6:25.  Or, might I add now, as to what you will drive!  Exactly 18 days from the date of receiving my pink slip, I am receiving notice from my car that it is ready to cause us some major repair work.  It is 9 years old, and I have driven it for 6, and it has 150,000 miles on it.  So..its probably time.  But  my first response was so spiritual – really, Lord???

AND YET!  My God, who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, is already making it clear how He is providing and taking care of ALL my needs.  I have 401K money (not a huge amount) that I can access since leaving my job and a 10% penalty on that is going to be very small.  Plus, I picked up our taxes today, and praise Him, we actually do not OWE but a very small amount this year, and we are getting back a very nice amount from the state.  Hallelujah!  That, plus the trade in on my car will give us a very reasonable payment for the car that He provides.  So, unemployment + newer car payment = not a problem for my “and yet!” God!  May He receive all the glory, and may He use my next car to help me minister and work in places I never dreamed about!
