As you know Supplying Needs has a 6 pallet refrigerated box truck. What you may not know is that since we have received the truck free of charge Joel has been wanting a paint job for it. We have almost had that truck for a year now. And Joel will bring it up every once in a while how bad he wants to have the truck get a beautiful paint job.
You may also know that being we have a limited budget for our ministry that was a want and not a need. As always when he brought it up I would just smile and say "Honey I am sorry. You are right it does need one but we can't do it right now." Or something along those lines.
You may not know that we have been parking the truck at our churches parking lot. I don't know how many times I have prayed for our truck that God would send angels around it to protect our truck. Our church is in a not so nice neighborhood. And God would continue to answer those prayers.
Just recently our church had a walk/run/bike-a-thon. They asked us to move the truck. So Joel back it up against the churches brick wall. During this time some one(s) came and tagged (aka graffiti) our truck. Can you believe it. Bright red too. The crazy thing was that our truck was parked not more than 5 feet from the church bus and it didn't get tagged, NOT ONE BIT. I was thinking "God what are you doing?" How crazy is that. Both the vehicles are bright white both are sitting by each other and only ours got tagged. Things that make you go hm.
JOel went right to work the next day cleaning and sanding the truck for paint job. It would not have been the best paint job since we don't have any equipment. He was doing sanding and washing the truck when a guy that works at the church during the week came out to see Joel. The man heard our story and told Joel that his son is a professional painter. All I know is Joel got the paint and the son painted our Truck for FREE!!! It looks brand new. The paint job is awesome and Joel got his hearts desires.
LOOK AT GOD!!!
God works in mysterious ways. & His ways are not OUR ways!!
In Awe of our Great Big GOD!!!

Truly a great God. With an amazing sense of humour. I suspect he giggles a lot at us. In a fatherly, loving sort of way. :)
