I'm asking

We are on a car hunt.

My husband's car engine blew up two weeks ago and we have been discussing back and forth the best way to proceed ever since. Without going into too much detail because I am trying to be respectful, we are having a small disagreement over said car-to-be. Not even so much as a disagreement as a different view of God.

I believe that God wants to be involved in every part of our lives, even down to the smallest detail.

So, here's what I'm asking. I would like for you to pray for our car adventure. I would like, when this is all over, for my husband to be able to look back and see the hand of God all over it.

In every detail.

Not because I want to win over this issue, but because I think it's important for him to see how much our God longs to be a part of his life.

Even the smallest parts.

I can tell you that God has already provided in several ways. The engine blew the day after Cinderella finished finals. That put a second car at my disposal. School for The Boy will be out in less than two weeks which means that Josh can drop me off at work, too. Which keeps Cinderella from getting up at the crack of dawn. Plus, it means that we don't have to rush into making a car decision. We also had an entire "parts" car at our disposal which meant that we were able to switch some things out the dead car to the white car and get the white car fixed. If the car engine had gone out one week later, we would have already paid for the extra parts for the white car. God's timing is perfect.

I want my husband to know that God satisfies our every desire (Ps. 145:16) and that He holds our hand (Ps. 37:24) each and every place we walk.

So, I would appreciate prayer, however you feel led to pray. I'm praying believing that God has an adventure in store for us!

I'll be praying that your husband will see how God is Sovereign over everything!

You are pleasing God in seeking Him in every detail. After reading so much of David these past couple of weeks, I see how that makes God happy, and how He isn't pleased with us when we do not. I will pray for God to be all over your car decision and for J. to see His mighty Hand in every detail. I also will pray for an extra measure of peace for you all throughout. You inspire me to be praying about some details right now--maybe instead of just complaining about them. :) Now there's an idea.

Praying...Love, Annette

I'll be praying, Karen! I just felt compelled to listen to... "Come To Jesus" on your playlist. He is so happy you inviting Him into all of the details. Keep running to Jesus. You Glorify Him!
Love,
