I had the sweetest thing happen the other day.
Here is the story...
The night that I stayed
for Opening Show and Hunter drove out, her Tahoe was giving her problems. So
she called me, and I told her to pull over at the gas station at I-20 and 110 and I would come and get her. I didn't want anything to take away from that night and knew we'd
deal with the car after opening. After opening show, we went back to it and we limped it down the road a few miles. I KNEW it wasn't making it the
40 min. home. I asked God for a safe place to pull it into and leave it
for the night. 110 is a country road without a lot of businesses or
places to pull it into. Finally I saw a little business with an empty parking
lot and pulled it in... As I tried to back it into a space, the transmission went out and the car got stuck in the middle of the small parking lot...
The next day I
contacted AAA early and met them out there. While I was waiting for the tow
truck to come, one of the guys from the business came out to ask about the truck
that was sitting diagonally in his parking lot...I told him the tow truck
was on it's way and thanked him for his patience. We got to chatting and I
asked them what they did since his shirt had the name FAITHCO on it and the T
was a cross. He said they did contracting and electrical...just what I needed.
So, Chad came out to the
house and we walked through all my projects. Then, he made
arrangements for Chris, the electrician, to come out. When I told mom and Tina how I had found the company I mentioned
the story of coming back from Sky and God leading me to their empty parking lot
in the middle of no where. We finished up our business, he left, and we
started dinner. Then Chris called me from his car on his way home.
This is the good
part!!! He had just picked his
son up from Quest and
he had been praying about the 2012 commitment and how to give. He was
wondering if I would be willing to write the check that I would be writing
to him for the electrical work out to SKY RANCH INSTEAD as a
donation. After registering what he had just said I said "of
course"!!! He said they have known Sky for years and it's leadership and
he wanted to bless them...ME TOO!! What an amazing thing to sit down at the
table and tell mom, Tina, and Hunter such a God thing out of a $3500 transmission
job!
GOD used this to have me meet Chad, who sent over Chris, who happened to pray that morning for a way to bless Sky Ranch, who I
happened to thank for being patient with our truck that broke down coming home
from Sky a couple of weeks ago.
Well, ladies, I hope that
encourages you that God loves the ministry!
