The saga continues with the problems we’ve been having. However, this story gets spiced with pinches of the miraculous.
For example, we spent $197 on repairs and winterization of the RV. The next day, I received a $200 donation. There are more stories like this than I can relay in one post.
But, I will tell you one more…
We blew a fuse one night as we had the heaters running too hot. I was able to reset the breaker and restore the electricity. Except none of our electrical outlets came back. All three of us (me, my daughter, and my daughter’s best friend) spent all morning trying to figure out. We came to the conclusion we had fried the outlets and needed to get them replaced.
The repair guy came this morning to fix them. He spent less than 2 minutes researching, went to the fuse box, and clicked one of the breakers over and back – HARD. Poof – all power was restored.
We simply looked at each other in amazement. We had each done that several times to no avail. But, our night in shining armor comes in and saves us with one swish of his sword! We gave him 10 bucks and gleefully sent him on his way.
Leah looked at us after he left and said, “SO, how many chicks does it take to flick a breaker?”
These are the results of praying for radical faith: a ton of difficult situations all piled up on top of each other AND joy, glee, and laughter.
In the past, all the issues we’ve been facing would have broken me. I would have tapped out on the mat. Yet, this time each problem seems to be bringing more and more hope – more and more joy – more and more peace. It is truly miraculous and only done by the transforming work that Jesus can do in us.
This morning Ashley said it best in our prayer, “Dear Jesus, we thank you for the opportunity to grow together as a family even deeper than we were before.”
We stand united.
How many chicks does it take to glorify Jesus?
