It's been quite a month with a lot of ups and downs. I feel like I'm on a crazy roller coaster sometimes. It began when our one vehicle quit working. It was funny because my daughter had just asked me what we would do if our van broke before we moved. I told her I wasn't even worried about it and I knew God was taking care of us. Just a few hours later, in the mountains, our transmission went out and I had to believe what I had just said. It was in an area where we didn't even have cell phone service. We pulled over wondering what we were going to do and a woman from Kernersville, Dottie Cornatzer, pulled in directly behind us in a minivan. She gave us all a ride back to our house. God was working out the rest of the details too. David Creed, from the Summit, heard about our situation and offered to fix our van at a greatly reduced rate. My amazing sister offered to pay for the repair. Our friends even let us use there vehicles until ours was finished.
Our computer quit working the day after our van troubles. The computer is rather important since Cory works from home. We were frustrated, but then we found the warranty papers and we still had enough time left to get it repaired. God continually shows us that if we commit ourselves to his plan, he will take care of us. There have been several things we have anxious about lately, such as insurance. Last week, we got approval for new insurance which will cover our costly immunizations.
We had the chance this month to get together with some friends who have been in Indonesia for the past 2 years. The Knott family was a part of our homeschool group in Greensboro and our kids are good friends. It was really good for our kids to hang out with some friends who have gone through what they are about to go through themselves.
We also had the privilege to get to know Rhyan and Nicole Dunn. They are also going to be Summit missionaries in Burkina Faso. We compared stories and it's amazing how God is at work in both our families making his plan into a reality.
Our house is now listed with Allen Tate Realtors. Linda Beck is our new agent and her advice has been invaluable. Their family works in Nicaragua every year doing medical work and her daughter is one of my Impact 8th graders. She has taken us on and we are extremely grateful to have a friend from The Summit and professional sell our house. We have attached a link to our listing if you would like to spread the word for us.
