Well, it's even worse...

Well, last week's bed news has carried over into this week. I found out that the rear main on my engine had gone bad, and that cost $100 to fix. Also, the part to fix the rest of the problem with my truck is going to cost $335.99 plus labor to install it.. yuck... once again God was with me, because the first place I had my truck looked at said they couldn't fix it, but that the problem was going to cost a minimum of $500 if not quite a bit more. Well, now the total is going to be less than $450 :) And the people who fixed my truck said that the problem I had is pretty much the only thing that goes bad on the old 22R Toyotas, and now that that is fixed, I shouldn't have much trouble as far as that goes. It's still going to leak some oil, but any older vehicle will do that, especailly a 25 year-old pickup truck! Also, the guy I was talking about has decided to enlist in the National Guard through me, so in about a couple weeks I'll get my 2000 dollars, or actually about $1800 or so after tax!! :) :)
I have been really worried that I was not going to have enough money to fix my truck, but God provides, and I had plenty to pay for the imminent problem at hand, and the other thing doesn't have to be fixed at all unless I want 4x4 back (which I do, but there's no major hurry) I won't be able to get my camera, but I'm sure God will provide for that when the time comes as well.
As we look toward Easter this week, and remember that Jesus' dying on the cross gave infinite life to all, perhaps my wallet is dying so that it can come back to life in a few days and be more abundant than ever!! ok.. that's a lame excuse for humor, especially since I take the Easter season very seriously, but I couldn't think of anything else... so... anyway.. I keep trying to take pictures of my little brother for you guys, but I leave too early in the morning, and he's usually tired or cranky in the evenings :(
God bless!
