"Just Do the Next Thing" Update #4

So, I think I have a plan that might actually work and at least pay everyone something each month.  I am beginning to send written communication to all of my creditors about this plan.  I need your help, now, to pray that my efforts are not only pleasing to God, but that the creditors will be willing to accept it.

I'm so trying to operate on faith here.  While reading "One Month to Live", I highlighted the following from the book:   "When you're operating on the basis of reason, all you can see is how big your giants are.  If you're operating in faith, all you can see is how small your giants are compared to God."   It's really hard not to look at them from the basis of reason, but I'm really trying - moment by moment - to see how big my God is and really how small my giants are.

My van has needed inspecting all month because the tags are due.  The problem is that my "check engine" light stays on constantly.  It has something to do with the emissions stuff and we've had it fixed before to only come back on a week later, so I don't really pay much attention to it until it's inspection time.  It won't pass inspection if that light is on.  Well, prior to this, the light might go off for a day or two every now and then, but lately it has shown no sign of going off.  I told Randy this morning that we had to figure out a way to get the van inspected!!!  He set for work, and I set off to get my hair cut.  You will NOT believe what happened!   Yep!  That freakin' little light went off!!  I couldn't believe it!   I was about out of gas too, so I went and got my hair cut, then stopped by Costco to fill up, and then headed to Jiffy Lube for the inspection.  IT PASSED!!!!!!  I then came home and renewed my tags online!  GLORY BE TO THE FATHER WHO IS THE GIVER OF GOOD THINGS!!!   I don't know if God can control mechanical things here on earth, but I can't help thinking He just might have been involved in this!   THANK YOU ABBA FATHER!!  It is these little things that keep me going!!!
