So, today we were supposed to be driving to Kansas, however, the van's gage system was going bezerk on us. The van has been acting up occasionally but we thought it would be okay on the trip. WRONG! After we ate a delicious breakfast at Cracker Barrel, we got back in the van and it went crazy on us again. We didn't know how much gas we had or how fast we were going (even though everyone was passing us!) James made the executive decision when we got to Indianapolis, to turn around and go back for the car. When we got home, we sadly made the decision to start again early tomorrow morning. What a day! I hate it when you get your hopes up and prepared for something new and then all your hopes get dashed in a single moment. I know, I'm sounding really dramatic! I don't know why it bothered me so much, maybe becuase I really want to see my family and it's just one more day I have to wait. So, after a few tears were shed, God revealed to me that this happened for a reason and my attitude needed to get in check. I'm sure glad God has patience with me and it never runs out! I'm also glad my family has patience with me, especially my husband!

I know it isn't easy when you have a set back but I try to think of it as God's way of protecting me. Who knows what would have happened if you had gone on?? Maybe a wreck--maybe worse van trouble. God is in charge and you made the right choice. Good saying-men make plans-God laughs! Have a great trip-Vicki
We miss you guys too! Hope tomorrow's trip will go smoother, how can it not, right?
Sorry you were delayed in seeing your family. I hope when you get there you have a wonderful time with them!!!
