3 Years Ago

Three years ago today we moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and into our first home. *sniff* Before we left Provo, Utah the air conditioning in our '94 Camry was temperamental. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn't. We decided to add a can of freon to see if that would help. We drove around for awhile and enjoyed the cool air. But just in case it stopped working on our journey Mark bought water bottles with motorized fans on them.

Somewhere between Green River and Moab the a/c became warmer and warmer until finally it didn't work at all. At this time it was noon and about 100 degrees in Moab, not a cloud in sight, and no breeze. We were each hot and sweaty. Mark and I both worried about baby Kendra who was three weeks old at the time. I used the motorized spray bottles on everyone trying to keep us cool. It was just too hot and the water seemed to evaporate before it hit us. Mark and I both said a prayer and pleaded with our Father in Heaven to help us.

As we drove out of Moab a slight breeze picked up and clouds began to fill the sky. By the time we hit Cortez it was cloudy and rainy. We were able to make the rest of our trip without worrying about our little girl.

This was a testimony to us that we are watched over, that God hears and answers our prayers, and that if something matters to us, it matters to Him. We have often felt his hand in our lives before and after this. How grateful we are for his matchless love.
