Bud called me Saturday morning, February 21, and said that he was coming up to figure out the carburetor, it had been on his mind and he wanted to see if he could get it installed. So he came up and worked on it most of the day and he got it figured out! It was a happy moment. He had picked up a carb that had an electric choke vs. the one that was on the truck that had a manual choke. But it just didn't seem to fit. Well, it does fit and it is looking good. I can't wait to get the refurbished radiator (thanks Burt at Inlet Connection!) put back in and get some fluids in the truck, including fuel, and then starting it up. That is the plan for this coming weekend. And we are going to start on the new wiring harness. I am nervous about that. It looks like it would be very easy to mess up. But, it's gotta be done and I guess I will say a prayer and then go for it. Step out in faith.... For I can do everything through Him who gives me strength (Ph 4:13). In this journey that I am on I am learning that even though I can do many things, I can do nothing in my own strength. I just cannot. I get discouraged, frustrated, angry, resentful and I just cannot accomplish what I want to accomplish. Until I stop, turn it over to God, and ask for His strength and knowledge and wisdom. Then it seems that the burden is lifted, I can think clearly and I have a positive attitude.... then I can accomplish that which I set out to do. He gives me hope when I feel hopeless. Thank you Lord, for loving me and telling me that I do matter, that I am enough, even though some people have told me that I am not. God is good!!
