I don't have much to report but I wanted to share this with you. Yesterday evening we were driving and our fuel got low. No big deal, we thought. We're on the interstate, we're bound to come across a gas station sooner or later, right? Fast forward two hours and the gauge is on E and it says that the next gas station is in El Paso, still 40 miles away. So we start praying, and I remember the story of the Macabees and how God made their 1 day's worth of oil last for 8 days. So I start praying God will make our gas fumes last until we get to civilization (we were still in the middle of the desert, after dark) and get to a gas station, just like He made the oil last for 8 days instead of 1. And sure enough, even though we were on E the whole last hour or so, we made it to El Paso and a gas station. It was our own Hanukkah miracle!
I can't wait till we get settled and I can show you some pictures from the house and the holidays. SoldierMan loves the house, by the way. If you recall, he couldn't come with me to pick it out and so he saw it for the first time today, and he loves it. I'm so glad!
This is posted from my phone, so the usual disclaimers about spelling, grammar and composition apply. I'll see you soon!
I'm glad you made it safely! Enjoy your new "hometown"!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it safely to El Paso. We have friends down there and are hoping to visit in the near future.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I had been absent from blogging and commenting. But I am back and alive!
Thank goodness you made it there safely!!
ReplyDeleteWe stayed in El Paso for a night on our way cross coutry. I'm definitely looking forward to your adventures and hearing all about your new home. The craziest thing for this Virginia girl was that there were taco shops in the back of gas stations! Or at least the one we stopped at!
ReplyDeleteThank heavens you made it there, what a true miracle!
God always provides!! That's seriously awesome. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made it safely (in one day, holy cow!) and that SoldierMan loves the house. Very nice.
