Here I am again to give you the ending of my
"ordeal" with my cars starter, which gave out on
me before I began my trip to work at Perkins
Restaurant and Bakery last week.

You can read what happened in the beginning of my "ordeal" at this link:

Christianity and Real Estate --- What do PROBLEMS do...THEY HELP US!!

After everything that happened as reported in the
above mentioned post, I got home with my new
starter for the car and later that day I proceeded
to remove the old starter and install the new one.

A year earlier I had another new starter put into
the car, but unbeknown to me, the fuel filter was
partially clogged and giving the starter more trouble
than it needed to start the car. As the cars starting
got harder and harder (more than a second or two
of cranking to start) I just figured the cars engine
was getting old, since I was giving it periodic oil
changes.

The car was now 20 years old at this point and
had achieved the venerable standing of "Antique". The car was now worth 3 TIMES what I paid for it, which was a reason to thank the Lord!!

Now, when the first starter had been put into the car,the church choir member who did it tightened those bolts a LOT!! As I put the ratchet wrench onto the first bolt holding the old starter onto the car, I remembered how much the brother had strained to tighten those bolts and I prayed I had the strength to loosen those bolts.

The Lord spoke to me while I was under the car........

"Do NOT worry about getting this part to your car
changed, I will provide a way to make it happen,
and you will GLORIFY ME in the doing of it."

I sighed after straining on the bolt....... it did NOT budge an inch......

The Lord reminded me.....

"Did I not tell you this part
to the car would be taken care of ? "

I reminded myself that our Creator does NOT
speak WITHOUT following through with what
He says is going to happen. What He says
He will do, He PREFORMS! THAT is our Lords
REPUTATION to us and to the WHOLE WORLD.

I fought with myself for a while...and proceeded
to get a phone number to a mechanic my landlord
knows, but I did NOT know him and the Lord was
guiding me to ask people at work to see if someone
would do this loosening of the bolts and change
out the starter, since I obviously could NOT unloosen
those bolts my church choir brother tightened a
year ago.

Using my room mates car, I went to work
after having my car in the garage sitting for 2 days.

I talked to everyone at work I saw about what had
happened and why I was not at work the last time
I was scheduled to be there.

I spoke to our busboy/dishwasher about this also.

He said, "I can do it..I can change out your starter
for you."

Now, this man is a Christian and we have fun talking
about things while we are at work. I NOW know why
the Lord caused this to happen:

This man has done a LOT of work for people -- fixing
cars, etc. and has been taken advantage of by a
LOT of people. I will NOT be one of those people.

I want the Lord to let this man know I am NOT like
others by treating him with RESPECT and appreciating
him for what he has done for me. Of course actions
speak louder than words!!

I find I have to wait another 2 days for him to come
over to my house and get that starter taken care of.

NOW it has been 4 days since my car has been sitting
in the garage...almost like Lazarus' 4 days in the tomb!

After guiding my buddy by cellphone as he drove to
the home where I live, together we got the old starter
out and the new one installed.

While I had a couple of days off from work I helped
my landlord purchase a new (used) dryer for the one
that died while my car sat in the garage..... WHAT
timing, hmm? AND I made out a legally binding
document for my landlord that stated if anything
was wrong with the dryer, it could be given back to
the old owner and my landlord could get the money back for it.

I then installed the power cord to the dryer for my
landlord...apparently the old owner sold this dryer
because one of the power cord wires plastic holding
parts was broken and his wife did not want the wire to
touch any other wires and spark a fire...so my
landlord got a GREAT Whirlpool dryer for a song!

The old owner had told us his wife was VERY happy with their new washer and dryer, so I surmised that is why he was selling them, hehehehe....

I simply used electrical tape to insulate the loose wire so it would be SAFE to use for us!

The landlord is interested in doing business with me
in the future...can you see why?

Put this all together and GOD got
the glory for this whole "ordeal" !!

("ALL things work TOGETHER for
GOOD to those who LOVE God and
ARE CALLED according to HIS purposes")

Is God AWESOME or what??

YOU BET HE IS!!
