Prayer Request

I am so amazed at the work God does...I just have to share this story...

On Friday, June 6th, I drove my car home from work...no problems. About 15 minutes after I got home, my husband went to borrow my car. It would not start. He knows a little bit about cars...so we were able to narrow down the problem to the "passlock key" (which is supposed to be a security feature that comes standard on the car I own). Basically, the sensor for this "passlock key" went bad, making the car "think" it was being stolen, so it would not start...which meant that not only would I have to pay to get it fixed...but I would also have to pay to get it towed. I am in a very bad financial situation...so I became very angry at God for putting the burden of getting my car fixed...as this "passlock key" thing is a very expensive fix.

After the mechanic had a chance to take a look at my car...he called me to let me know what the problem was. It was, as we knew, the "passlock key". But, what we didn't know, was that the hub bearing assembly was also dangerously loose...to the point that the tire was ready to fall off. The mechanic said the car should not have even been being driven with the hub assembly at that point. The tire could have fallen off while I was driving down the highway. I NEVER suspected that anything like that was wrong with my car...and NEVER would have even taken it in had the "passlock key" not failed. Now that I know the whole story, I firmly believe that God was protecting me by having the "passlock key" fail, because it forced me to take the car in. Who knows what would have happened had I continued to drive the car with the hub assembly so dangerously loose.

Praise be to God for the mysterious ways in which He works!!!

Thank you, Dave, for those words. They provided so much encouragement to me. :-)

I wish I could tell you I was doing well, Dave, but I'm beginning to feel as if I'm losing hope for my marriage, and I don't know where it's coming from. My husband and I have been able to talk and laugh...almost as if we're not heading for divorce. But, as much as I enjoy those moments, it also scares me as I don't know what he is feeling, or where exactly we stand...so I'm scared to let down my guard completely. And, at the same time, I'm afraid to ask him...because God has revealed many steps that I took to lead us to the point of facing a divorce, and I don't want to push. Although my husband has said he has noticed many positive changes in me...I still don't want to push him. I have continued to do my "wifely duties" so to speak, and maintain the cooking and the laundry. We are still very much tied together financially, and he still does some of the cleaning around the house. As far as I know, he has not consulted a lawyer (and neither have I). At times I feel like maybe his heart has turned from divorce. But, then I remember that he still have not put his wedding ring back on, or he will make a comment/remark that reminds me. I guess I'm just confused more than anything. At times his words and actions speak nothing of divorce...and then other times it seems crystal clear that's where his heart is still headed.

I very much appreciate your prayers. You continue to be in mine as well.

Lord, we thank you for giving your angels charge over our lives, to protect us even from dashing our feet against a stone. We love and adore you, and can't wait to tell you each and everyday, that we love you, more than anything! *AMEN*

JM,
That's awesome, God always has us in his Palm!
Thank you Lord for protecting our sister!
