So here's the latest!
Last weekend, Diana got really sick so we had to stay in Texas a little longer than we thought.We stayed with my mom again in her hotel with her, so it was an amazing week of rest and intimacy with the Father :) We also got to meet up with some friends/prophets that used to live in Acton, CA (where Diana is from). We got to pray and catch up with them and their kids are amazing! It made me want my own kids real soon! But the night before we left, we went out to dinner and I had spent the day with the Lord and reading about the Word of knowledge. Well, I felt like we were gonna minister at dinner. So we go, and we're sitting at the table, and Diana's back starts burning like its on fire. And shes looking around and feeling her back and is trying to figure out what is going on. Well, I told her maybe someone here has pain in their back. So the when the waitress came around, Diana asked her if she had pain in her back and pointed to the area that felt hot. And the waitress said "yes! I do! thats really weird you say that cuz I was just having someone massage it in the back. Its constantly in pain." So by the end of our meal we prayed with her and Diana gave her another word and we're believing for her healing.
So we're being obedient to the Lord in what he tells us. So Friday, we left Dallas. and We're driving out of town and Diana says to me, Maria i had a vision the other day when i was sitting on the couch. I saw a Volkswagon symbol. only it wasnt the color of mine. It was blue and silver. And i also saw something else with it. So we were trying to figure out what that meant, wondering if it was a bmw or what. But it wasnt a bmw. So we're driving through oklahoma and our engine light goes on and starts blinking. So we pull over as soon as it does and as we're doing so the engine started rattling and the car shaking and it sounded like we were dragging something...in other words, it didnt sound good!!! So we pull over and realize we need a tow truck and we have no place to stay. So it turns out we call triple A and the only volkswagon dealership is in witchita (about 70 miles north of where we are). So we have the tow truck driver take us there. Turns out, my mom has worked with someone from witchita quite a bit and she hooked us up with his name. He is a Christian, assemblies of God, and was soooo nice and sooo helpful! A true blessing! Our car broke down on a friday night, of a holiday weekend, at 5:30pm, and by the time we call this guy to help us, its 6:30. He just happened to still be at work. and his work just happens to be right next to the dealership. So, we're driving with the tow truck guy, who's name is Tony. And Tony received the Lord a year ago, December. He's a single parent of 3 children, and loves Jesus :) Well, in the past 3 months, he said he's had 6 pastors in his tow truck, and now here we are. So we talked with him a bit, and when we got to the dealership the symbol on the dealership was blue and silver just like Diana's vision. So we know that we know we're in the will of the Lord. So we meet up with my mom's coworker (Kip), and his family has taken such great care of us! But as Tony goes to leave to drive back down to Oklahoma (an hour away), he slips us $100! He was sowing into what he just received. We were blown away. He rocked.
So we've been with Kip's family this weekend. Yesterday we fed the homeless with a group in his church, and today we went to church and "sunday school". Met some awesome people.
It's just funny because we started out on friday thinking, we have no place to stay, just heading to Ihop, in kansas city, but not knowing where we're gonna sleep. So when our car breaks down, all we can think is about htat vision Diana had, and that if my mom contacts that guy, it just happens to be that we're close enough to witchita we have a place to stay tonight. I just feel like we're right where God wants us, and we've been so provided for and blessed that I can't even fathom the depths of God's plans. He knew all of this, and we had no clue, and we see His favor!
So now, we just need our car! And honestly, it sounded terrible! and Kip thinks it is either the timing belt, or a valve. Both SUPER expensive. But we dont know what it is. So we're believing in faith, and saying when the mechanics look at it tomorrow, its gonna be healed, completely fine and wont need anything. I believe God wanted us here, and when we ask we receive, so why wouldn't God act on our behalf in this case? But pray for us/with us! cuz we truly dont have the money for anything big unless God wants to provide that instead.
