Day 639 - March 16 - Still Stranded

A long time ago, while we were still in Fresno, y'all prayed for what I have jokingly referred to since then as "mechanical healing" for our RV. It was the middle of a hot summer, our ancient tenement on wheels needed to get from Morgan Hill to Fresno, and it needed a new thermostat. And the thermostat housing was so solidly age-welded into place that we thought the engine might have to be removed to get to it. Y'all prayed that old vehicle into new health and we got the rig down to Fresno without disaster, with friends stepping in to get the work done, and unknown mechanics deciding on their own to use just the right finesse and patience to get the thing repaired without major expense. It was a pretty cool thing, as I recall.

Well, we kinda need you to do it again. As of last night, Connor's perfectly-running van (that went in for routine, preventative maintenance last Tuesday evening) is still in the shop; and I'm told now that the turbocharger has to be replaced. While the "what's the problem" part is only mildly vexing, my big concern is that we still have no transportation for the boy. He's got a number of serious medical events in the next week (that have been planned for months) that he just can't miss, and no way to get there. While this is a reputable dealer and there's no reason to suspect there are shenanigans going on, and while the folks there have been trying mightily to get this taken care of, the fact remains that Connor needs to be able to travel - soon.

Would you please take a moment when you pray to lift up this situation for us? I know it seems somewhat silly, and I know that these things happen under God's guidance for our growth and His glory - but I also believe that we're to bring our concerns to Him. Connor needs to get to these appointments, so we need some transportation for him soon. So your prayers in this regard are appreciated.

I'm gonna keep this short because I overslept this morning, so it's off to work for me. But I want to say again how much we appreciate your faithful care for us, and for your journeying with us through this time.

God bless y'all,

Eric
