#LifeStory [ 10 ] Elyssa and I were having trouble getting our furnace to work in our little home. At times we would turn it on and it would work for a couple hours or a day, and then it would quit. There were periods of time when we couldn't get it to turn on at all. Sometimes we would wake up in the morning and the house would be down to 55 degrees. The system was very unpredictable and this continued throughout October and November of 2003.
Then one night, after Elyssa and I returned home from spending the weekend in Sharpe (Elyssa's parents home), we walked into the house and noticed that it was super cold. The thermostat had bottomed out well below 50 degrees. So, before going to sleep, Elyssa and I prayed together that God would cause our furnace to work. He knew our condition and that we couldn't afford to repair or buy a new furnace. So we went to sleep trusting God to meet our needs. Later that night, I awoke around midnight, because I was hot and sweating. The Lord had caused our heat to kick on, and we never had another problem with it again!
