Day 154, June 30, 2015 Texas

Sitting at a Freightliner shop this morning.  Hope this doesn’t take all day!

Well, we decided to stop whining and pray over the truck.   Immediately the check engine light went out and the truck started without any problems.   Thank you Lord!   He was waiting on us to ask him I think.   We are back on the road and headed to get trailer and head east!

Below are some pictures taken of Laredo.   We were just this side of Mexico.  So close I got a text from AT&T thanking me for traveling abroad and the weather kept giving me the temp in Juarez Mexico.   Haha 

I took several pictures of some cacti that was growing in the fields along the highway.  I’m not sure you can see it or not but the cacti go all the way back in to the fields as far as you can see.   Sure would hate to be a cow trying to walk through that field.  I bet they are gorgeous when they are all blooming.   The hummingbirds must love it.  

Made it all the way to just outside of Houston before stopping for the night.  

DG:  Yes God fixed our truck. Early this morning while waiting for a rework of our trailer to get the weight down to the legal limit the truck stopped idling and three warning lights came on. One was the usual check engine light that nobody gets excited about, the second was the stop engine light that will shut the engine down in a few seconds if you don’t and the other a red light that says nothing but means you need to find a shop soon and have things checked out. We had the third one which was why we were at the shop.  

The service manager tells me they may not even get to us today they are so busy. I start making plans for a rental car and hotel. Annie doesn’t like that idea and a discussion ensues about our prayer time and how we forget sometimes and how we should ask God to help us in everything we do. So we did. I started the engine just to get some air moving and the light was out. I don’t know how else to explain it. The truck has been running great ever since. Praise the Lord. 

So we are still in Texas but will be out and almost to our destination by tomorrow evening.

Keep praying and make God a part of your life.  He loves to be involved. 

We love you. Good night and God bless.
