We are working harder than ever to meet our goals! But new challenges arise and resources get stretched, we trust you God!
So, do I spend more money than I have ever spent before on a truck? It’s hard for me to spend money on cars. It’s because the money is just gone! The return on investment is always a negative investment. It’s not like “updating a house” where you get equity that offsets expense. With a car, it’s always more money, But in this day and age, it’s a “necessity”. We have been looking at a truck that’s bold enough to get through the deepest of snow, provide protection from collision with deer (it’s a real threat up here) haul people & cargo, use for work and dependablity for travel. We have a car, it’s high on miles, but it’s in decent shape(although it’s windshield is below the center mass of the tremendous number of deer we see every evening on the roads). We also have an old truck that’s proven its value. But I need something better for Jess to drive safely on these roads. We need the seating for 6 with ease of loading (third row seating is just not an option) durability in case of deer collision, ability to use it for work, hauling and such. So I looked for days, weeks! Me, Jess, Misti, KJ and Jacob…. we found one in Montana that fits the task. It’s older, it’s powerful, it’s four doors, seats 6, 4wd…. everything but it’s a manual transmission. Jess has agreed to learn to drive a stick! (she is a trooper) but now? I need to spend money! (This type of Truck is not cheap) so, buy the truck and put off a few other things? It’s all about decisions, prayer is my only resource needed, so, here’s what we do, we ask you to also pray for us. Please pray for these many decisions each day that we are wise and God centered!
Btw, this Saturday I get to install flooring in the living room and our bedroom…,finally! That’s right, Jess and I will soon be moving into our bedroom and have a living room! Kitchen cabinets are half installed and walls are painted and we still have so much to do! But, we have a stove, microwave and a refrigerator, it’s tough cooking on a camp stove. My bride is an amazing woman and she has put up with so much during this first phase. Ohh, did I mention? We also have a washer and dryer now(although it’s just cold water hooked up and it’s in the garage for the summer) but no more laundromat. God is good!
