Healing from divorce #8 Casey and the RV :0)

Motor home from God :0)

Well 2 days later I crossed the Oregon Boarder got out and kissed the ground, no kidding. Then the years began to roll by.

Each summer the boys and I would get together for a vacation. One sticks out in particular.

It was Saturday morning , Casey my youngest and I were on the phone. Casey in Michigan, I in Oregon.

We talked about many things then I asked Casey

“Casey, what would you like to do for vacation this year”

He thought for a while then replied

“Dad, I would like to go across the states in a RV (Motor Home)

“Boy, that would be great “then a thought struck me, POW

“Casey lets pray and ask God for an RV, will you agree with me in prayer”

“Sure” He said

That afternoon I decided to go to an RV show some had given me a ticket for.

On the way there, I remembered an old friend whose wife was sick and decided to drop in. Jerry was not there, but his wife was. We chatted for a while. Finally, she asked what I was doing for the afternoon. I replied

“Going to an RV show at the state fair grounds to look at what I cannot afford.

“Hey our RV is for sale” Hang on I will get the keys and you can take it for a drive.

So I did, it was a 20 ft. Toyota Dolphin that slept four comfortably and had all the amenities you needed including a toilet and shower.

As soon as I turned the key, I knew it was mine. I had no money, no credit to speak of. So God had to buy it for me. I loved it plus it did 18 MPG.

When I got back, Jerry was waiting for me on the porch.

“So what do you think Mike”

“Love it jerry, how much do you want”

“$7500”

“Let me think about it” I had no money

“Ok $6500 for you”

I was silent, and then he said

“Ok $5500”

I just opened my mouth automatically and said, “Done”

“When do you want to take it?”

“As soon as I get the money”

“You got it”

“No Jerry but God has, I will have it by Tuesday evening”

“Jerry laughed he knew me and God to well, he had heard all my stories and honestly I do not think he doubted me”

Long story all I can say is Tuesday Night I gave Jerry $5500 cash.

When I called Casey I told him God had bought him an RV, He was ecstatic, it did wonders for his faith.

All we have to do is ask and let God work out the details.

I drove out to Michigan and picked the boys up in June.

We spent 5 weeks in the RV That summer and I still have it, it was my home for 2 years and I toured all over Oregon, it’s a great state….to be continued
