One of Those not so good times

We do enjoy our life style, and like everyone, we know life does throw us curve balls every now and then. Kris has been hearing a strange noise under the hood of the Freight Liner for sometime now. He figured it was the exhaust so he drove it over to the Freight Liner shop before we left Mississippi to get an estimate on what it would cost to fix the problem. They quoted him $2000.00 for labor and parts. When Kris drove the truck the next day he heard another noise which was the exhaust manifold. He had some free time at work to check out the new problem. He knew he could not pull the RV with the manifold problem and he also knew we were out of time here to have it put in the shop. The problem Kris was facing and the reason he was concern about working on the truck himself is, he was fearful the bolts would break off. He knew he had to take a chance, so he said a prayer for favor and then proceeded to loosen the bolts. The bolts came off with no problems and he was able to get the parts and seals he needed to fix the manifold. The exhaust can be fix later since the parts have to be ordered. He has saved us a little over $1000.00 once all is said and done! Oh it is so good to have favor!

How long will it take us to realize problems are not as big as we make them out to be when you lean on your faith. I am so glad that God sees our heart and overlooks our stubbornness. :) He is so good!!!
