so this is just a post for me. I wish wish wish that I actually wrote in a journal, but I seriously don't have the time to find a pen half the time, so blogging is much easier. I can type WAY faster than I can write.
Anyway, this is a post that's just for my records, b/c there are little moments throughout my life that I don't want to forget, and this is one of them...
I'm so thankful for the Spirit's work in my life and my husband's.
Our ac isn't working and we found that out last night, since it was the first time we turned it on this year (hit 89 degrees yesterday, while Sun it was 40 degrees- crazy Ohio weather).
Anyway, we called Bob, our trusty, handy AC guy.
His associate came and looked at our AC just now and it's the coil that has a leak. We just had Bob replace the coil in Jan of 2012 and the coil cost lots and lots b/c it's a super good one.
Anyway, this super duper coil which we just bought last year, paid for instillation, paid for freon, etc, has a leak, and leaked out all the freon.
The coil is under warranty (coil costs $600) but we still have to pay for replacement freon and Bob's labor to come and replace the faulty coil. Bob said this was the very first faulty "super-duper amazing" coil that he's seen in all his 30-some years of doing this.
yay us.
Bob feels horrible about this (anyone in Columbus need an AC and heater guy?? We wholeheartedly trust and recommend Bob!)
Anyway, Bob feels horrible and said that normally freon and replacing a coil cost $450, but he feels so bad b/c we just paid him last year to do this that he's going to try to keep it at $250 for us.
So understand... this stinks b/c we just paid for all this last year and it's not our fault we got a "faulty" coil.
Anyway, I'm the point man on all this since Andrew's at work. I'm typing up all this to Andrew via text.
Then I send this following text TO Andrew and SIMULTANEOUSLY receive a text FROM Andrew stating almost the same thing (this is the whole point of the blog post!):
me to him-
"So anyway, it's a bummer that it happened in the 1st place, but God is sovereign, He's given us an opportunity to show love and grace, and I'm thankful it will only be $250 when it could be so much more!"
and simultaneously (I'm not kidding!) got this text from Andrew-
"bummer we got a bad coil, but yay yay yay that it's under warreanty, that Bob is cutting us a great deal, they can do it today, and that we have the money!!"
I loved that God, and only b/c of the work He's done in our lives, has given Andrew and I the same heart and spirit toward this situation (and toward most things in life, in general).
