We had left Katherines car in the back of a walmart parking lot in Asheville so we werent taking two vehicles. Mountain was steep and her engine is under powered. Also some of the Air bnbs dont have more than one available parking place.
During that weekend we could tell that Abigail had just lost heart. We'd communicate over video chat and it was like shed just gave up...just monotone answers while she was being kept by my mil.
We decided to go ahead and go back to Charlotte for now because the back and forth with the air bnb was getting to be too much.
We are going to have to save up about 2500 and then go.
So we head down the mountain with a new plan and strategy and head to pick up Katherines car and it had been towed. Didnt expect the expense so we had to leave it.
We get back home really with the wind knocked out of us but our daughter is beside ourself with excitement.
So when we arrive and need to double up in our remaining vehicle to make the money to get her vehicle out of lockup.
Well my MIL decides to start acting out during all this and it just kicks us in the teeth and during this I got craziness with my own side of the family that is breaking loose as well.
We re adjust with another plan just trying to roll with the punches and yesterday we get the vehicle back after racking up fees for a week.
When we get home and prepare to make up for lost time because with everything that happened for that week our income dropped to a quarter....well my MIL just up and leaves.
But my Jesus is the God who is there...He is the all sufficient all sustaining all providing one and He doesnt need anyone to deliver His blessings and provision. If God has ordained something to be given and supplied even if He has to deliver that blessing with His very own nail scarred hand it will be done because He is faithful!

Sounds like an uneventful time for you guys! When you said you were going to leave her car in lockup I cringed because i know the daily charges for cars twoed can be outrageous.
I hope all calms down and you guys some peace and quiet, rest and steady income.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
