After that part arrived and was installed, we tried to fuel up again to no avail. Lance\u2019s brother-in-law told him to check the fuel filler tube\u2026and what did he find? Someone attempted to put sugar in the gas tank. Lance was able take the part off and dump the sugar out. You may ask, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t the gas flush the sugar into the tank?&#8221; The only answer we have for that is &#8211; God.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">God appointments: (1)<\/span><\/strong> Last Sunday we saw a couple at church we hadn\u2019t met yet, so went up to introduce ourselves. We had nice visit with John &amp; Helen before the service began. After the service, they asked if we wanted to join them for lunch. In visiting with them over lunch, Helen mentioned the names, \u201cChuck &amp; Betty\u201d and we said, \u201cWe know a Chuck &amp; Betty\u2026\u201d When you get inside the circle of followers of Jesus, it\u2019s truly a small world!

It wasn\u2019t long before the man asked Lance where we came from. He told him we had moved here recently from Florida. Frank said he had a sister who had lived in Florida\u2026 We had known that our friend, Ginny, had a brother who lived in this area \u2013 but only God could have orchestrated for Lance to not only sit next to Frank, but to get into conversation and find out, he was the brother of our friend Ginny (also from our church in Florida) whom we had wanted to meet!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">House purchase:<\/span><\/strong> Thank you so much for praying for us! These \u201cGod appointments\u201d and conversations are just more confirmation to us that we are exactly where HE wants us to be. We\u2019ve pursued buying our own place and so far it has gone very smoothly. Friends have been advocating for us to see if enough funds could be raised so we won\u2019t have a mortgage.

The closing on the house is scheduled on or before September 30th. We\u2019d appreciate your prayers! This is a huge step of faith for us, first time home buyers at our age!
