A Happy Goodbye

It has served our family well.

When needed it was always there.

One of the most reliable vehicles I have ever ridden in.

6 years we've put it through sleet, snow, rain, hail and hot hot hotness.

We've filled it with children, and it has kept them safe.







We filled it with field stones and mulch for our gardens.

We've filled it with drywall, wood, and other construction material.

I can't tell you how many kilometers has been put on it because we lost track at 500,000 last year when the dash decided to go schizophrenic.

BUT,

only in the last year has it's age started to really show.

My sister dubbed it the Demon Van.

But it was being held together by Heavenly duct tape.

This van took me to the hospital in the painful agony of hard labour with two pregnancies.

This van brought home 4 precious babies and 3 dogs.



This van was the first vehicle my husband and I purchased as a couple.



It has taken our family on various road trips.

But now, it must be laid to rest.

This van has been such a blessing.

However we've been praying for a replacement ever since our Mechanic warned us of the costs that would compile eventually to keep it on the road.

We exhausted every avenue looking for a decent van that would hold our family.

When you have 7 people a dog and a budget you're limited to what you can buy.

When you're starting your own business and haven't had regular income for 3 years you don't seem a wise investment to anyone.


Through this past year neither I nor my husband worried.

Our God is what sustained us.

We knew we'd get what we needed in His time.

He promised this to us.

And His timing is perfect.
