Day 136 - October 28 - I could use your prayers today
This afternoon I'm going to take a look at a vehicle that may possibly meet our needs for Connor. It's a used 2007 Dodge Sprinter with 5000 miles on it; identical to the stock photo above but already set up for a wheelchair etc.. The reason I am posting this is because there are a lot of people out there seeking ways to help us get Connor mobile again, and I wanted to enlist their aid as well as mention God's provision. This vehicle is precisely the van we were looking for - the van itself is fairly rare in the US (although it's wildly popular overseas), it's already set up for Connor to access, and it's within 30 miles of our home. And it's also the only van Connor actually likes! What a series of coincidences, right? 8-)
I want to look at this vehicle with the right heart, in tune to what God has for our family, and not be swept away by what appears to be a very fortuitous string of events. So I bring it to you to pray that I would be attuned to the Spirit as I view this thing and not act impetuously. Also, God will have to move to bring the cost of the van into the range we can afford, and so prayer in that regard would be appreciated as well.
I'll let you know how it goes... 8-)

Would it be possible for your church to set up a "Van fund" to be administered by the church where people could donate and receive receipts? It's absolutely no reflection on you or your family, but accountability of funds is a big issue with a lot of people. You might be surprised again at how God will work in this area. :)
Oh...so sorry that in my first post I neglected to type in the main reason I started to comment.....I'll be praying for wisdom and clear guidance today as you trust God for His provision once again. :)
Eric,
Trust the Spirit in you. You will know. Prayers are headed your way.
Praying here!
Praying with you. The fund iddea is a great idea.
On a completly different thought, Connor should have a Bruan (sp) exhaust van, and heater in his bbathroom. It is a great asset on cold winter days. I'm sure you are farther ahead of me on that thought.
Sending warm thoughts!
Lifting this up in prayer right now.
By the time I had read this it is possible that a decision had already been made, but I have been praying that you would find a van.
I like the idea of a fund being set up especially for those who don't want to donate via a credit card.
God bless you all.
Charlene
