: Dear Friends,
: I have been struggling with how to write this letter. How do you say thanks for a gift this big? I am truly overwhelmed. When Pastor Steven said that the car was mine I did not believe him. It took him awhile to convince me it was real. It did not really sink in until I was at my table at work. I showed my boss and told him what you did. He jokingly said, "Do your friends know that you don't deserve them?" I replied, "Yes." When I went back to my table I started to cry.
: I would like to tell you some of the ways your gift has impacted my life. First, I can go to church. Second, I have not been able to find a full time job. With my old car the job had to be very close to my home. Now I can expand my search and hopefully I will find a good job. Pastor Steven is helping me get into the Bible college and now I can attend classes. Now I can get to doctor appointments when they are at Tampa General. I could go on and on...
: Words elude me. My feelings are unexplainable so I will just say thank you.

: I love you all,
: Terry
I know exactly how you feel!
We all deserve each other, that sounds sarcastic, but it's true!
God is good! He puts people in our lives that love us more than we think we deserve.
And what you got you needed, sometimes the need seems relatively small in comparison, but a need is a need and it isn't any harder for god to produce a car than a meal. It's our perception that makes the difference and Pastor Steve understands this. Thanks to Jesus for his vision and friendship!
