Seriously

Ok so you all know that I was trying to not get excited about this vehicle and things were not looking good today. So I told myself that if it hadn't happened by tonight then tomorrow I was just going to tell him that maybe we needed to try something else. Really I was at peace about it. Well...he calls me tonight and says its not going to work. Seriously, you read my mind. He told me what we needed to find and said it was going to be like finding a needle in a haystack, but he was going to work his butt off to do it. We needed something 2004 or newer, under 80,000 miles AND around $11,000 ($14,000 after our rollover) but worth enough to hold up what we are upside down on. Impossible...not to GOD! Really guys, I was okay with this surprisingly. :)

So literally 15 minutes later I get another call from him. "I found you a car." Seriously you've got to be kidding me! That quick, we have so much criteria to meet and I just hung up with you. As he was walkijng out to his car to go home they pulled up a trade in they had just taken. Get this, I'm telling you this not to brag but I am so excited that I just have to share and I truely feel like this is God (whether this is the vehicle for us or not its IS possible). It is a 2003 (not what the banks want, BUT) it ony has 30,000 miles on it AND we will also be $3500 under what we were going to finanace the first time. It also, get this, has leather seats, which I prayed for (and I know it sounds silly).

So now that you all now how much we're paying for a vehicle. :) I had a little talk with God today. I have been very nervous and on edge since last Friday. But seriously there is nothing I can do about it. Its up to him. I know that. So I told him today that this is what I would like...an SUV (I know about gas mileage but I'm just ready for something different), leather seats, not be tan (our last 3 cars have been tan) and Mason really wants a dvd player in it. I know that I don't have a right to be picky considering our situation and if I get it I will praise you and if I don't then I will still praise you. But this is what I would really like.

So whether this is the vehicle God has for us or not...he IS working in our situation even if I don't see it all the time and get really, really irritated at the whole thing. But I like to hope that tomorrow, we will be in a vehicle and not just any vehicle, but one thats right for us and one we're meant to have.

Have a great evening! :)

Wow! Wow! Wow! God is a god of details. I have no doubt that He even cares about your leather seat request. That is so cool. And 30,000 miles!!!! That is unbeatable.

I'm so glad that I popped in to check! Awesome! I have been blog-deficient for the past couple of months. I'm still praying with you.

That's so great, April. I know how you were feeling just earlier today and things are turning around...possibly because you were praising Him through the turmoil :-)
30,000 miles for 2003??!! That's insane...and awesome. I can't wait to hear more. Talk to you soon.
