Anwsered Prayers in the middle of Lowes!

Yet another amazing example of our Lord's active involvement in our daily lives. Justin and I received some money back during the closing on our house. With that we decided to buy our washer and dryer, and a few other necessities for the new place. We went on our shopping journey this afternoon to Lowes...a very daunting place if you hate spending large sums of money at one time (on things other than clothes and fun stuff like me)

So we found a few options of dryers and washers, but I really wanted one of the new kind that look neat and are high efficiency...too bad they were way out of our price range. Of course they had the lowest price option that looked just like the ones we all grew up with, your basic, no frills washer and dryer....a fine option but not what I had pictured when we were talking about buying a new set. We could afford to get that set AND a warranty but I wasn't happy about it. Maybe I'm a little spoiled but I wanted to make sure we were getting the best one for our money, and somehow buying a whole set new for that cheap made me feel like we would be replacing it sooner than we want to. Plus if I was getting a new washer and dryer I wanted all of the new technology that comes with a new set. Anyway I got pouty and decided that it was time to pray....so I asked the Lord to give me discernment and let Justin make the final decision. I made my peace with the low cost option and Justin assured me we could get those for now, and in a few years I could upgrade. Fair enough.

Just about the time I had made my peace with this decision, the sales manager came over to help us. He saw that we were looking at the new whirlpool he set, and told us there was another option on the other side of the department. Exactly what I wanted...exactly the right price WITH a warranty!! Just as soon as I was willing to submit the Lord shined a light on the perfect set for us! I looked it up online, and we never would have been able to get this set at it's full price tag...Thank you to the man upstairs for having our backs on this one! Now I can do my laundry with all the new technology without breaking the bank!

  1. God is awesome. I always say that when "Praises Go up! Blessings Come down!"
    Congrats on the new place and the new washer and dryer. One day I pray we can do the same thing. Fingers Crossed by March of next year so we can be out of Brittany Commons.
