More Vehicle Blessings

You all know my van stories? Buckle up!  I've got a new one for you!

The time had come when Gabe felt the need to sell the suburban and the bronco.  He had the 'burb listed for quite a while and was struggling with common car-selling-frustrations... How much can we get for it?  How much is the right amount?  How much do I tell the buyer?...  If you've sold a car, you know where he was at!  He then listed the Bronco as well.

After just not having a lot of solid interest, he came to the point of being willing to sell for significantly less than what he was asking.  But he was also going to be completely honest and forthright about what problems it had (which weren't that many, but like many late model vehicles, they were present).   He had interest the next day and within three days had sold the 'burb for a much better amount than he was willing to take.  The day after that he traded the Bronco for a truck. 

I love how God waits patiently for us to wait on Him.  We try to control things and make them work to our advantage.... and all the while He just sits back, holding our blessings in His hand, waiting for us to be in the perfect place to be able to completely recognize His goodness and faithfulness in our lives.  Once we are there, walking in His will, being obedient to His ways, He reigns down His goodness so much that we cannot stand under the weight of His love.  So we sink in worship to our knees, thankful that He truly is our Provider, our Comforter, our Peace.

Now we are waiting, cash in hand, for Him to provide a daily driver for Gabe... (He's hoping for a jeep! :-)
