To compound matters i was laid off from my job! I tried to fix my truck my self but that didn't work. I had this problem with my truck once before, I knew that to fix would cost me more than the truck books for.
Also i have responiblity with my chruch. There are times when people call me and need to go places. For example the other day a young man from church called me needing a ride to see his probation officer. I was not able to take him, because my truck was not running. Thank Jesus i was able to find him a way there.
My Problem loomed over me. i had no solution, so I prayed.
My solution. A few years back i heard of a guy that traded a paper clip for a new home, for him and his family. In the middle of everything going wrong, i was struck with a brilliant flash of hope! I could do what he did for a house, to get a new car! So From Paper Clip to Car was born! The idea is simple. I will trade items. I will trade the paper clip for an item of equal or greater value, untill i am able to trade for a new car. I started this project on Face Book because I want people to be able to see what i am doing. i also want to give people Hope in this tough economic time.
This goes beyond me getting a car. It reaches into the heart of man lets us all see, that when we work together as one we can do so much more than what we can on our own. I do not want to think that I am out hear fighting on my own to survive. I want to believe that i am not the only person out there helping others. Paul rights in the book Romans chapter ten verse fourteen, "How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent?" I am not asking for money. I simple want to trade. I am stating with a paper clip, lets all find out where this will end!
