We Need a Breakthrough

Please pray for our truck. We just heard from the third of the shops we've taken it to, and they cannot locate the kingpins, which are discontinued.

I'm not sure how our whole farm hinges on the kingpins, but at the moment, it feels like it does.

I have seedlings that need to get planted this week: we need a truck to buy the final pieces for the mini-greenhouse.

Aesthetically, we haven't been to the dump since early September, and I feel like we're drowning in garbage. We need a truck to deliver.

We were hoping to pick up a bull this weekend. Need a truck for that.

Buttercup needs to go to a boar to be bred in the next few weeks. Need a truck for that.

In order to prepare our beds, we need to till the ground. We've bought the tiller, but can't pick it up without a truck.

I know that there are work-arounds, most involving rentals and expense. We'll deal with that as we need to (no need to post comments with suggestions).

But, even if we manage without a truck for the next few weeks, we won't be able to farm long term without a truck.

Please pray for a breakthrough. It's been a long three weeks of waiting, without any progress at all.

  2. Praying for your truck and for all of you. Vehicles can drive you nuts, can't they?

  3. Praying as well. I just finished a biography on George Muller and he said that God had never not answered a prayer. I've been struggling with that some, when does a prayer become not answered vs. answered in such a different way than you expect but still covers what you need...anyway, I'm praying it will be an obvious answer to prayer. :)
