Van...

My van is sick. Went in last Friday for some repairs and should have been done Saturday.

They broke a part. Won't be ready 'til Tuesday. Never called. Hmmmm.

Today. Ryan and I go to pick it up. They are acting all funny. Still don't know if we got the whole story, but the part (not the one they broke, but the original one we went in to get) is possibly defective. Have to order the part.

Ryan was in a hurry to get back to school or he would have asked more questions. Wish they would call and let us know what is going on. Wonder who has to pay for the extra labor time? Us?

At least we have a very nice vehicle to use in the meanwhile. What would I do without a car for what will be a week Friday? We are thankful for that. I am sure we WON'T be thankful for this bill. Ick.

Such is life. *sigh*

My willingness...

Am I willing? Am I willing to follow Christ's example in Eph 5? (Thanks, Mom.) Live a life of love and give myself up (dying to our desires and what is "comfortable" to us) as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God?

Eph. 5:1-2 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Had a rough morning with girly. Praying for wisdom. Little things, but things that reveal the heart. Hers...and mine.

What do these verses mean to me? I will be meditating on them today. Thinking of them in light of our situation here with her. Praying for wisdom as I need to stop at school and talk to her.

This is hard. So glad we are not left to figure this out on in our own wisdom. *shew*

Thanks, Mom for the encouragement. You help renew my hope!
