He does all things well

When we were in California on vacation, we had a problem with our Suburban. We got to the Econo Lodge in Buttonwillow CA (the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in in the United States- another story) and I looked at one of the front tires and noticed that there were threads showing. After checking in, I showed it to Greg and he said ok we will have to put the spare on tomorrow moring and drive into San Diego on the spare and get a new tire when we get there.
So 6:30am Sunday morning, Greg and Caleb changed the tire and we were on our way. We were praying about what to do about this unexpected expense, as we were on vacation and didnt really have extra money to buy tires. We did not tell my family that anything was wrong, but we prayed. Grandma Helen showed up on Monday and gave us a card with some money in it for our Anniversary!! She said use it for your trip or whatever you need. Well we needed a tire!!!
Praise God. So the next morning, Greg went to Discount Tires in San Diego and they did not have the right size tires for our Suburban. The man tells Greg he could get these other tires, slightly smaller than the size needed, and that it would be fine as long as we didnt put the car in 4 wheel drive. So we did this (not knowing it would be a problem) and enjoyed the rest of our time in San Diego and began driving home to Idaho.
Somewhere in the middle of the state of CA, we started hearing a noise. Greg was not sure what this noise was. So he asked me, do you hear that??? Well it continued all the way home and after a week of being home, the noise was getting worse and worse.
A friend of ours is a mechanic who works on Suburbans all the time. He came over and drove the car and heard the noise and said dont drive that car. You need to get those tires off as soon as possible.
