| The BEAST... |

| Me in my HUGE Cool glasses driving my HUGE Cool BEAST..Hahaha.... |
Firstly I have to share that I absolutely LOVE driving the BEAST, LOVE IT! I never knew I would enjoy driving a huge 4WD this much. Shane and I fight over the keys, racing to see who gets in it first to drive it, Haha. Luckily we are going to be driving a lot in the very near future.
All appears to be good so far with the 4WD. I'm covering it with prayer and praying its a great solid vehicle that causes us no dramas, just safe and powerful driving.
So late afternoon yesterday, we picked the girls up from school and we were driving to Moorabbin to pick up our Beast. I was in my sedan with the girls and I was following Shane in his Ute (we traded in both our vehicles), we were on kings way exit when Shane's Ute was slowing down in heavy traffic and he had to pull over to the side of the freeway. I then pulled to the side behind him...He called me on the mobile to tell me his Ute had broken down on the freeway, FAR OUT :-0
It was very scary, cars kept beeping us and zooming past us, at times I thought they were going to just about ram into us.
Shane called RACV, but they couldn't help. It was up to city link to help us out of this dangerous situation.
While we waited, I drove my sedan in front of Shane's Ute just in case someone rammed into us. It would be better that the empty Ute tray got a hit and not my car with my Girls in it.
We prayed and stressed and prayed and finally a city link man came and rescued us out of this scary and stressful situation, Yay! Once we were in a safe area we had to wait another hour or so for a tow truck to pick us up, ARGGHHHH!
As you can imagine, once we finally picked up the 4WD we were all exhausted from our stressful and tiring evening and we all just wanted to get back to our home (our caravan) to shower and sleep!
We stopped at a petrol station on the way home, the girls, even though they were tired were in the back seat giggling, dancing and singing when a man pulled over on the side of us to get some petrol too. We greeted each other and he made a comment about the girls being very giggly
The girls continued to be their joyful selves while Shane put petrol in the car and I read the 4WD manual. This same man handed the girls a CD through our open car window. The CD was of himself and his wife playing the didgeridoo, playing the violin and singing. We were shocked! He and another younger man had just left from a huge performance they had performed in for the RMIT graduation. This man heard the girls giggles and wanted to give them a CD.
He then asked if we had ever heard a real life didgeridoo being played, we replied no! This man went to his vehicle, got his didgeridoo, opened our back door and played the beautiful didgeridoo to us, it was soooooo VERY beautiful and special and we couldn't believe what was happening, it seemed so random.
We chatted with the man for a bit and then parted ways.
I'm telling you, after the hard night we all had God sent us a beautiful blessing. This mans random act of kindness was a complete blessing from God and it really lifted all our moods. We listened to this beautiful CD all the way home...and guess what? its all Australian/Aboriginal type music, perfectly suited for our travels :-)
Thank You God that there are so many GREAT people around...Thank You GOD for blessing us.
We are feeling VERY blessed by this experience. After a tough night, came a very kind blessing and it feels really good to know that God has us in His hands!
I have more blessings to share soon...
Take Care and Goodnight,
