Speechless

Yesterday I received a phone call that brought me to my knees.
In full on weeping, wailing, crying hysterics.
I am at a loss for words.
My church called yesterday.
For those who have followed this blog from the beginning, the middle, or even in the last few months know that Aaron and I have been STRUGGLING to get our van to work properly. Electrical problems, transmission leaks, power steering leaks, alternator changes, belt changes, tune-ups galore....oh the list goes on and on. We have...Aaron and his Dad have....tried everything they can think of (they have put many engines in many cars) and STILL the van has given us weekly troubles. We have not had a reliable vehicle to take the kids in, to drive Lilah to appointments, to take Lilah to her specialist in Atlanta. We have piled 6 people into a 5 person 90 Bronco. All along just happy to be together and glad for something...anything...that works and gets us from A to B.
Yesterday someone....
Some angel, self-less, giving, considerate, AMAZING family...
has donated a van to the church...
AND...
our church has chosen our family to be the recipient.
I could NOT believe it!
This could NOT have come at a better time.
  • More Doctors visits
  • More therapy
  • More driving
  • More stress
  • More go, go, go

NOW....

No worries on HOW to get there.

To the family who is giving such a GREAT gift...

YOU are changing my life! YOU are giving me PEACE about the safety of my children in my vehicle. YOU are helping me beyond words. PEACE is something I pray for daily. PEACE is something I have attained in the last two months for I KNOW that the Lord is ALWAYS with me. The ONLY thing I can say, even though it is NOT enough is...

THANK YOU!

THIS gift. This....is God giving to us through YOU!

GRATEFUL for my brothers and sisters in Christ who selflessly give to others!
