Well, my battery on my truck went dead this morning. I knew it was coming, as the oil change place told me my battery was going down.Yesterday it gave me a little trouble starting, but today it didn't want to start at all.
I prayed, asking God to please let it start and keep running until I got the donations dropped off to 2 different churches,and to take my friend Millie, a sweet lady in her 80's, a ride to the food pantry that she runs at one of my donation drop off stops. My truck started. I dropped off the first load to the Methodist church clothing bank and food pantry. I was leery, but trusted in God as I shut the truck off, and proceeded to unload the bagful's of clothing and bedding there.I went back out to my truck, and it started. I pulled up to Millie's house, but decided I should not press my luck and shut it off again. Millie was waiting for me at her door. I told her I really couldn't shut the truck off, as it just might not start again(woe to me of little faith). I help Millie load her paperwork for the food pantry and her bags of things into my truck, and then we were off to her church, where she runs the food pantry.I left the truck running, and we unloaded it, and then I went home to get some money for the battery. I shut the truck off when I got home, and it started again when I went to the oil change place to get the battery.
So, things are good for now with my truck, even though I had a flat tire and the battery went out this week, and the husband is still not so nice.
God is good !!! He heard my cries for help, as Millie depends on me to get her to her church food pantry. The donations were very needed at both places, and had to get there, especially the coats for the poor and homeless.
I sorta can feel what Peter went through when he tried to walk on the water to meet Jesus. He was doing OK, and then lost his faith for a second and started to slip under the water, but Jesus grabbed him and pulled him up. Jesus pulled me up today. Thank You Jesus !!!
