A new car

Last week I called to catch up with my grandmother. It had been too long in both of our books, and I simply wanted to check in. Over the course of our conversation, catching up on her new place, how my kids are doing, how life is going... When she asked me to come see her I told her I'm working a lot of weekends, and that at the moment the van isn't that reliable for travel. 

We hung up and I went on about the business of motherhood, ministry, photography work catch up, the rest of my day. That was Tuesday. Wednesday my dad called and told me something that left me speechless and teary. Grandma wanted to give me her car. Last fall she had a few health slip ups that made her have to give up her drivers license. They had been trying to sell her nearly new Impala for awhile and a buyer hadn't turned up. Evidently Tuesday night grandma prayed and God let her know to give me the car. She told me on Friday "I don't do anything without praying about it sarah."  

Friday I rented a car and headed to Opelika Alabama to pick up the Impala. 

To say God blessed us in such a huge way... I am just so very thankful. So thankful. To have this break in car repair payments. To have something reliable. To know everytime I turn on the ignition the gift and love of my sweet grandma. 

This little woman. She means the world to me. I am so blessed to have her as mine.
