My Truck...

Do you remember back at this post, I was looking for a truck? Well I did find one about a month after that post. And an awesome truck it is.

After going to see that truck in Toledo I looked at two or three more. One of which was just a couple blocks away from my house. It was a very well taken care of truck. Very clean and had the V6 engine I wanted in it. Unfortunately it was out of my price range. So as the weeks went on I went to Columbus and Delaware (OH) to look at a couple trucks. Both had high miles, poorly taken care of, and had the small V8 engine that I didn't want. I almost bought one of them thinking that since the cost was low enough I could fix the things that were wrong with it. But I didn't. At that point I was a little discouraged. But on the way home from there God prompted me to drive by and see if the price dropped on the truck down the road from home. It did. Right down to the price that - with tax and title - was exactly what I had set aside to spend.

This truck is in such good shape I didn't have to put any money into it (other then a tune up - but even before that it ran great). It's awesome, gets great gas mileage for a full size extended cab truck, has very little rust, no body damage, very clean interior, and everything works. It was right next to my house, God 'delivered' it to me!

I find great joy in giving good things to my daughters. Not just things that I think are good for them, but things they want, things that their hearts' desire. How true that is of my Father. He delights in giving me good things. Things my heart desires. His heart towards me is Good.

Mat 7:11b [CEV] ... But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask.

Rohon!
