As we shared Pastor Matty's devotional was on Spiritual Warfare. As we adventured out down the dirt road of Pavana Mike and I were bringing up the rear. Mike has a keen eye for mechanical stuff and ear for it do. The Land Cruiser was in front of us puttering down the dirt road when Mike said the left rear tire is going flat and going flat quickly. He said we will not make it across the road and he was correct. We stopped Tino and the Kia was in front with the men and the Land Cruiser had the ladies and translators. So all the men get out to help Mike change our first flat tire. At this time I said well looks like Spiritual Warfare has already started for this team. We can all thank Pastor Matty for such a powerful message this morning and now within an hour of the devotional we were all put to the test. Mike, Pastor Carlos, Tino and Pastor Matty worked on getting the old tire off and putting the only tire left on the Land Cruiser. The ladies were suffering Spiritual Warfare in the air conditioned Land Cruiser. Angie asked did we need to pray. I said yes prayers are always welcomed. So this was one of may flat tires this week. This became a spiritual warfare saga for all of us. But we can always remember God rules over all situations no matter how big or small they are. God has got us wrapped in His arms.
After that flat tire Mike had two more flat tires this week. Pastor Matty made a profound statement about my best friend and husband Mike. He shared how Mike took what was placed before him and fixed the problem all three times without a word coming from his mouth of negativity. His actions were nothing but I got to get this fixed and he got to it each time and fixed three problems. Even to the point of having to go to San Lorenzo Saturday afternoon before the auto shop closed to get the valve stem he needed. Pastor Matty and Bobby rode with him on his journey. Mike exemplified Christ like character throughout all three flats. Thank you God for such a godly best friend and husband.
