Blessings

With this move has come a lot of unexpected expenses that we were not planning for which has me feeling very uneasy and stressed out. I quit my job right before we moved and Dan cannot work his first year of law school so we do not have any money coming in. We have saved but needed to follow a very tight budget to make it work. We planned for unexpected expenses, but not as much as has happened. This morning we took our one and only car into the repair shop to get our air conditioner fixed. Normally, I would just deal with the heat, but since we have Jaxon with us and it is VERY hot here in Texas, we decided it was something we needed to fix. We were told the cost would be about $700.00 because it was some type of coil or something electrical that needed to be fixed. We have a Hyundai and when we bought the car it came with a 60,000 mile warranty – we are now at 69,000 miles so we no longer are covered by that. I spoke to Dave, the guy at the service center we took it to and just asked him if he would check and see if there was anyway Hyundai would cut the cost down or something. Well I just got a call from Dave saying our car is done and when I asked him how much it would cost – he said nothing. Hyundai decided to cover it 100%. Even typing this I am crying. I cannot even express the gratitude I am feeling right now. We have been so blessed and the Lord continues to bless us. I feel so unworthy of these blessings but am so grateful for them! I just hope that someday in some way I am able to help someone and bless their life like ours has been!
