Listen to the Spirit

I wanted to journal about an experience that was so special for Warren and I so we will never forget it! It started with my mom calling to let us know that a lady at her work had a car that she needed to get rid of. It had  been sitting for two years and needed a few things fixed on it. Warren and I discussed it and decided that sure we would go get it and then Warren could fix it up and we could sell it for a little bit of money to put toward our addition ( coming soon ). Weeks went by and finally Warren borrowed a car trailer and drove up behind the capitol and loaded the car and brought it home. It took him a couple days to fix it, it needed brakes, rotors, an oil change, spark plugs, a battery and a major deep cleaning. The kids even jumped in to help and it was quite the family effort.
About the time we were going to pick up the car I kept having this feeling that we should give it away. Brynlee has a friend who's mom is a single mom and has no car. I couldn't get her out of my mind and I believe the spirit was telling me to give the car to her. I shared my feelings with Warren and he absolutely jumped on board and said that we should do it. We were so excited and knew that the little money we would have made off the car was not worth the reward of giving it to someone in need.
The night came when the car was fixed and ready and we were like two kids in a candy store. We drove it over to her house and knocked on the door. We told her that we had something to give her and handed her the title, bill of sale, and the key. She was so shocked and started to cry. We took her outside and showed her the car and told her that it's old, has a lot of mileage, but hopefully will get her around for a few years! She was so grateful and at a loss for words.  I will never forget that night and the experience that my husband and I had by listening to the spirit.

WOW!!!







Baylee's Tumbling & Gymnastics studio offers live shots once a year for a twenty dollar fee, and this year I decided to sign her up. Here are a few of my favorite shots of her. She is so talented and limber I think they all turned out real nice! Now I need to pick my favorite to have framed for her room.
