Meet Jireh

This is Jireh. 

Jireh is our new vehicle. We named him Jireh to always remind us that God Provides. In Genesis 22, Abraham named the place he had taken Isaac to be sacrificed "Yahweh Yireh" or "Jehovah Jireh," as we are more familiar with, because God had provided a ram to sacrifice in place of Isaac. Just as God provided for his people in the Bible he is still providing for his people to day! 

For a while now I have been asking God to provide us with a larger vehicle so that our family can grow (I am not pregnant - happy now) in time. In my mind I was thinking a suburban would be my choice. I'm not into minivans (though the storage capacity is incredible) so I thought suburban. But I didn't specify what type of vehicle - I just asked for something bigger. And Wow God is awesome because he provided us with a Chevy Tahoe. It is only 5 years old, has roughly 66k miles and is in great condition. And the best part is I didn't even ask one single person for it - or try in anyway to get it. My parents approached Chad and I and we worked out an agreement that included giving them my car (bye bye little old red ford escape - you served us well - you will kind of be missed). We thought this might take place over the summer the great vehicle exchange/agreement but then Christy told me last Thursday she would like us to have it Saturday and so on Saturday we cleaned out the escape and said hello to Jireh. 

Can I share something amazing? A timing issue that only God could arrange? Unbeknownst to Christy, Chad and I were in the beginning stages of planning to drive to Minnesota because his Grandmother (a very wonderful person!) passed away and Chad cannot fly due to his collapsed lung earlier this year. So when Christy told me she wanted to go ahead with the plan - I had to just pause and praise God for how great He is. I mean He knew we needed a vehicle and he knew we would need it this week and he moved in the hearts of his people to do something so great. We serve a great God!!!!!!!!

Thank you Dad and Christy for listening to God and allowing him to use you to bless us. We are so grateful. We know that He will always provide for us but I am so thankful that you allowed him to use you.
