On Friday I received a not so great call from Phillip. The car had overheated on his way to work. When he got home for lunch he found out that the radiator would need to be replaced. Luckily, this is work Phillip knows how to do himself, however it does take time to fix everything he needs to fix on the car. We had a busy weekend coming up and we weren't sure how Phillip would find time to work on the car. He did a lot of research on Friday to find parts, etc...then Saturday he got almost everything disassembled. ( he's going to replace the timing belt, water pump, radiator, and a few other things). I was really frustrated about this at first but as I thought about it, I was amazed once again how God's timing is so much better than our own. Because of a few generous gifts from family we were able to get our mini-van much earlier than we anticipated. So now even though it's frustrating to have to fix the car, at least we still have the van. Also Phillip is in between semesters at school this week so he may have time when he gets home from work to work on the car. I've also been able to work more hours for my part-time job, which is paying for the parts we need to fix the car. And we've had the car for almost 7 years and these are the first repairs we've had to make! Praise the Lord, for His ways are SO much better than our own!
My super organized hubby:)
So hopefully everything will go back together as easily or easier than it has come apart. I am SO thankful that my father-in-law taught his boys about cars. What a money saver when you can do the work yourself! I have such a talented husband:) I'm a lucky girl:)
Glad Phillip was able to do all that. I'm impressed.
