Land Cruiser

Land Cruiser

We were able to pick up our brand new nineteen ninety-two land Cruiser last Tuesday. We are so excited to be able to have purchased this car because it is in great condition and has all that we were looking for including, manual transmission, four wheel drive and an air conditioner that works, more for the dust than for the heat but we will admit it is so much nicer to be cool and not arrive at your destination with a wet back.

It was pretty neat because we had found a car that was being sold my an aid worker who was leaving to go to the states it was the same make and model but was a automatic, the air conditioner wasn't working and the interior and exterior weren't in to great a shape. We thought well you don't always get everything you want and we can settle for this and get the AC fixed. It was a great price and we were pretty desperate for a car since there had been some confusion about us having a temp car provided by Air Serve so we went home that night and were asking for the Lord to lead us and speak to us about the car. We picked up our Bible and were reading from our daily reading which we were in 2 Chronicles reading about King Amaziah. King Amaziah had hired some troops from Israel to help him fight the Edomites but a man of God had come to him and told him that he need to go to battle without them because God was not pleased with Israel and would cause him to fall. Hezekiah responded “But what shall we do about the houndred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God answered, “The Lord is able to give you much more than this”.

Travis and I both felt the Spirit leading us back to that verse, like Hezikiah we thought that the best thing would be for us to get that car and then have our own transportation we would be better off more able to acconplish the things that we needed to but we felt that the Holy Spirit was telling us that he had something better planned for us, he was able to give us much more. So we continued looking and and few days later found this car at a car ware house (they call bond shop) which have freshly imported cars from Japan. It was in GREAT shape inside and out and had all the things that we were looking for, it even had new tires as well. After looking over it for a good while we jumped in to take a test drive. One of the workers rides with us and guides Travis telling him where to turn suddenly out of the blue Travis says “hey Kelsey, recognize this place, the guy had unknowingly directed us right past the residence of the previous car we looked at. We both started laughing because this is Kampala, it is a pretty big city and the chances that we would end up in the same residential area where we had looked at the other car was insane. We felt like the Lord was saying “see I told you that I had something better for you”.

Our God is SOOOOOOOOOOO Good, praise the Lord for his provision!!!!!!
