I blogged earlier about my truck dying in a puddle. That left us with only one car, which doesn't work real well when you have two adults with schedules and three kids, each in a different school. We were able to make it work for about a month and a half, but it was becoming clear that we needed a car number two if we were going to be able to live the life God has called us to.
So, we started praying. What -- I wasn't praying before? Well, yes I was....but it wasn't until we got to this point that I really just came to God and asked him to provide us what we needed to do what he was calling us to do.
It was pretty incredible. The next day my Mom sent us a gift that covered the cost of an engine from a wrecking yard and a 1997 Geo Metro off Craigslist (and, yes, for less than any running car should sell for). The Metro was pretty rough, but a couple hours and a little more money and it should be road worthy until the truck is back on its tires and under its own power. My kids call my new car the bubble car...so that makes me the boy in the bubble.
It's Moors, you idiot! Moops -- it says Moops!
