2006 Kia Sedona.


Need I say more?

Probably not, but I will! That beautiful van (Which I confess to loving slightly more than my husband) was a gift. A gift from our church, our youth, our Carpenter's family. They presented it to us on Christmas Eve, and I don't think either Tucker or myself have ever felt so loved. We were blown away. We cried like babies and our hands were shaking like crazy!

On the day this happened...
...I fell to my knees and prayed for many things. Wisdom, strength, health, mental stability (That one's still questionable...), finances, grace and finally, at the very end, a free minivan. I felt selfish and silly asking for it. We had two functioning cars. We would be fine. But I still asked. I continued that prayer throughout the pregnancy. And now? I'm beyond grateful for God's answer.

So thank you. Thank you to everyone who made that minivan a possibility for my family. You have no idea how much it means to us! Because of that gift, we will be debt free an entire year before we thought we would be. Because of that gift, two schools loans will be paid off instead of the money going to a new van. Because of that gift, our lives and hearts have been touched and we have a huge desire to do nothing but pay it forward. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
