the devil's certainly at work

Well if things couldn't get any worse...the car (not the truck) temperature light and the add water light came on yesterday on the way home. The temp. gauge never got over halfway between cold and hot. Don checked the water and oil last night around 10:00, and found that there seemed to be oil and/or gas in the radiator. That means that a head gasket or the head itself is cracked meaning that the engine is going to blow. There was a dark sludgy kind of substance in the bottom of the place where you add the water and anti-freeze. Don says it's oil and gas, but it looks to me like mud. It's the color and texture of mud...whatever that means or is. So if that's the case then the car is going to be useless, because it's a 95 model and cost more to fix than the car's worth, but no money to fix it.

So needless to say, that's one more thing we didn't need to happen right now. I like to think that I am a fairly intelligent person...I know that God has a plan for us/lesson to learn (which I know that is the case here)...but how much more can a person take? So I'm praying that when God closes doors He opens another.

The devil sure sees the opportunity to take hold of me right now, because I'm so vulnerable emotionally, physically, and spiritually with everything going on. I could, at the drop of a hat, become angry, bitter, depressed, nasty, etc., but I have to hold onto the fact that God is in charge in this situation and he has something better planned for us.

So if anyone is reading this later, please say a prayer for us to get through this situation with the house, eviction, car, the teacher/parent at my school...yes there is more going on with this teacher/parent still.
