A family picture with the new family car<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Today we were very blessed by the gift of a car to use for the year, given from Kim’s parents. \u00a0As you may well realize, we will be doing a lot of traveling during our time here in the States and without a car, that could\u00a0have gotten very\u00a0expensive. \u00a0We had talked about this with my parents a\u00a0while back\u00a0and they had talked about giving us a car to use for the year. \u00a0It’s been very surreal seeing it all happen, but specifically today, it happened. \u00a0Kim’s parents drove up to Goshen where we are staying with Joel’s family to turn over the title and switch it into our name. \u00a0 What a blessing this is to us. \u00a0To see God providing for our every need is a very humbling and amazing experience.<\/p><\/div>\n

Kim’s mom told a story today about the car. \u00a0She said that when we started talking about the car, she prayed a prayer of protection over the car – that it \u00a0would be protected over the last year for our use. \u00a0On the way to Goshen, about a mile from Joel’s parents, 2 deer came dangerously close to the car, but it was fine. \u00a0She also said a prayer of blessing and protection over this next year as we are traveling.<\/p>\n

Before we were missionaries, we heard many stories and testimonies about ways God had showed himself in the lives of missionaries. \u00a0We believed and still believe them, but it is a totally different thing to experience it first hand. \u00a0Before being missionaries, we never prayed for a car to be provided or a place to stay. \u00a0We were able to provide those things, in a way, for ourselves. \u00a0But it is a different ballgame when we HAVE to rely on God to provide because we can’t do it ourselves. \u00a0It is humbling, sometimes a little embarrassing, but there is nothing more awesome than to see and experience God provide for our every need and to see how His people listen to Him when He asks.<\/p>\n

We thank God and praise Him today for providing for our car needs. \u00a0We praise Him that He provided not just 1, but 3 car seats for Simeon for our time in the States and also for providing over 2 plastic tubs FULL of clothes for Simeon to use during this year. \u00a0We don’t say these things lightly, and we hope all those reading realize HOW incredible these blessings are for us!<\/p>\n
