Turn the Heat Up

Good morning and Happy Sabbath

It's 4:44am and I am trying to go back to sleep. It's going to be a busy day. I believe we have the nursing home ministry today and my son is trying to finish production on a Bible movie so he has to connect with a few other children to get their parts. I don't know if I will have time to post later today so why not now.

The heat is kicking up but God is good.

My car stopped working Tuesday and I had my vehicle towed. It would turn off while I'm driving and I was about 30 min away from home. Thankfully I was in a quiet residential neighborhood and not on a dangerous highway.  The mechanic told me it could be the fuel but then he said I needed a starter. I okayed the starter and when I came to pick it up he told me my AC converter went bad. I get in the car and find that if I activate the AC or heater, the car shuts down while in drive.

I was counting on this vehicle as it was the only one that had AC.

Now I have 3 old cars in my driveway.  My 2009 that has heat but no AC.  Same issue with converter only another autoshop was able to disable something inside so that if I drive and accidentally hit the button, it won't shut off mid drive. I have a 2006 that my parents left in my driveway as a backup. I didn't drive it enough so the battery or something else went kaput. My dad is meticulous about leaving windows cracked with his vehicles to prevent heat and cold from damaging the windows so for that car with windows cracked for years, there are spider nests and hornet kingdoms I'm certain in that vehicle. And now the 2008 SUV which was gifted to me within the last 3 years. There is a serious heatwave coming up and I have to come up with plan AC because I will fry with my laptop and papers in those cars.

I went to AAA yesterday to get my 2009 serviced and a woman overheard the service manager quoting me a lower price for my tires. This led to us having a conversation about God and her surviving a bad accident where a teen hit her 2018 vehicle and messed up her back. She was a very sweet lady and as we talked she told me about her children and her youngest who she seem excited that they were going to turn 40 this year. She then told me the date her youngest was born.

I was shocked because we share the same birthday.  It's really a rare occasion when I come across anyone with the same birthday. This sweet lady also said she was looking for a church so I asked for her number and sent her information for the one I go to. I also let her know that there are other congregations there that believe differently. God will send her where she needs to be. I believe that because that is what happened to me. I know that the truth is in my church and I know that there is truth in other churches too, but you have to listen to the Holy Spirit and allow the Lord to guide you. She said she has a friend who is Adventist. I hope that everything goes well for her and that the Lord helps with resolving her car problems and health problems. 

It is 5:08am now. I'm going to try closing my eyes for 45 min. The heat is turned up and things are getting a tad bit expensive but the Lord God is good nonetheless.  Praise the Lord and keep the faith,  no matter now hard it gets.
