7th Email...Car Drama Continues with added Stress...dated 7/3/08

Dearest Family & Friends,

Its Thursday and we are due to leave for Vermont on Saturday morning but as
of now we have no vehicle to take us there. However, we are seeing God begin
to move in the area of finances as we have had some wonderful gifts come in
that are moving us in the right direction. We are so grateful!!

The car search has not been going as well. We have almost had the right car
a number of times but each time there is always something that happens to
steer us away ie. price negotiation, looks as if it has been in some form of
accident, or it is sold before we can get to it. You have to be so careful
when buying a used car to make sure you are getting a good one. Dan knows
what he is looking for and has been literally searching on line or in person
all over the Island for the last three days. I joined him on Monday and
Tuesday but on Tuesday night I had another major breathing attack due to the
added stress and activity of this car search. It was worse than the night I
went to the hospital in May but I did not want to go as they never seem to
help me so I waited it out. My breathing was labored for almost 13 hours but
it finally leveled out about 12 noon yesterday.

I have been in bed ever since but today some how we have to get packed for
this trip in faith that we will have a vehicle to go in. We are open to
renting but it will cost about $1000 which we would rather see go toward the
new car. We are truly trusting God for a miracle today!! The perfect
scenario would be to find the right car today or tomorrow to be able to take
it on the trip!

Well....as I am writing this my Dad came in the room and has offered his
truck for us to take if nothing comes up in the next two days...so no
renting praise God!! This will buy us a little time but we will need a car
as soon as we return. We are really believing God that this search will end
quickly so no extra stress will be on Dan or I during this already overly
stressful time. We know our God and he has always given us wonderful gifts
in the cars he has provided and we can't wait to see what he has up his
sleeve this time!

Thank you for all your prayers and we continue to ask you to pray
especially over the next two days...thank you so very much!!

Love,
Rebecca
