We are without a car.
Our car has been running on prayer for the past... long while. The prayers ran out so to speak.
We were on our way venturing forth to a city about 40 minutes away from where we live. We made it about half way, then our car died.
God answered prayer in different ways that day. I was wearing cute shoes but thought to bring my runners along "just in case" and we put an extra blanket on our son. It also wasn't a swear-your-face-off cold day like it can be here around this time of year. In fact, I think it was above zero.
God provided through friends who dropped everything to come rescue us and use their CAA to get our car towed back to our place.
We are now without a working car. We could take it to a shop but lack the funds to pay for it.
We are not worried.
It is an adventure.
A few weeks ago, we went without internet for a week. It was one of the most freeing experiences we have had. This too will be an interesting experience. Taking a bulky stroller up the steps onto a city bus was one of those interesting experiences.
We are fine.
We are trusting God. We are excited to learn what He wants to show us on this adventure.
But you gotta admit... it is kind of funny...
Have you ever tried a baby wrap style carrier? I love being able to ditch my stroller... even my 23 pound "little" one isn't uncomfortable to carry in one. Just thinking it might make trips on the bus easier, if you didn't have to lug the stroller along... and then you have two free hands too. I did a blog post about it if you want more info on how they work.
ReplyDeleteStill thinking of you lots!!
As a matter of fact, we have one :) I found a Moby Wrap for cheap literally days before you posted about yours. I love keeping him in the carrier but have realized I need to figure out a different wrap method because he is able to free his arms which makes him less secure.
