God provides

As we have moved to Vernon we have noticed a bit of a problem...we only have one vehicle. In Ladysmith this wasn't a problem because we always lived 3 minutes or less from our church. In V-City we live 10 minutes away which isn't bad except I have to cross both major roads (one being the major highway) and both ways it takes 20 minutes. So a quick run home to get something takes 1/3 of a hour. The greatest difficulty we were facing was Gin was feeling house bound. After a few long days with the kids it would have been nice if she could take them out and do something or go visit friends or whatever.

I wasn't praying about it but I think Ginny was. Then BAM! Out of the blue Ginny's parents offer us this old school car for the summer and they would take care of the insurance ... woohoo! Thank you God! This car was mean too...major horsepower and beautiful to look at. Okay maybe not but a blessing is a blessing and beggers can't be choosers.

Then our friends Milissa and Jay Ewing were able to purchase a new car and offered us their old car. WOW! A 1990 Volkswagon Golf. The body is in great condition for being 17 years old. The odometer stopped at 185,000 but they figure it has 270,000 kms on it. Not bad. Also Ginny's parents said they would help us with the insurance and which helped us afford a years insurance. Did I mention it's a 5 speed standard? We LOVE standards. Sun roof and it goes faster than 60 kms/hr actually I got it going 160. (Young people don't try this at home) AND Jay gave me a Canucks flag for my birthday. Go Canucks! (next yr) Of course it's got some mechanical problems but hopefully we can fix them. HERE it is in all it's glory.

Thanks God!
Thanks Jay and Milissa!
Thanks Mom and Dad Bouwman!
