Knowing what God wants you to do is sometimes hard. I mean, often I wish God would just say "Mandi, this is what I want you to do." Sometimes what you want to do and what you feel that God is calling you to do, ends up just being you reading things the way you want to.

That being said, I really am thinking that God has been paving the way for us to fix our Neon. When it broke down 2 years ago, we decided to get another vehicle instead of fixing it, basically because we didn't think the Neon would run if it got fixed. Well I am thinking that God knew if we fixed it, we would have traded it in by now.

It is just so weird how just last month our car insurance drop quite a bit, where now with the Neon on it, it is barely over what it was before. And we paid off some loans so that now we could afford to fix the Neon and then our "oh-so helpful" neighbor turned the Neon in. Well needless to say we felt it was time to fix our car.

Well now it is running. We have to see if some wires are loose to the battery or if the alternator(sp?) is bad from setting, but other than that it is doing good. Even if it does need an alternator, my dad can fix that, he did before, and then we have a back up vehicle for me to use when John takes the kids to camp and to save on gas. It is funny how everything just seemed to move into place.

And on Monday or Tuesday we are heading out of town for a much needed vacation. We are so excited. We get to FINALLY see my sister-in-law's house and hang out with her family on their "turf". We are so glad to get out of town and just have fun. Plus Alex loves playing with his cousins, although I am not sure Uri always enjoys it. I can't wait!!!
