Update, well kinda.

Praise #1:
Okay so it took all day to get a car, but like my very optimistic friend Becky would say, we have one!! It came with, get this, a FULL tank of gas!!! That was a huge blessing because I had just filled the van up yesterday before the wreck and we all know how expensive gas is. And normally they are on a quarter of a tank. Thank you God!!!!

Praise #2:
On my way to pick up the rental the guy from the Enterprise asked me if we would be in the market for a new vehicle. I said that the possibility was very high that we would be. He then told me that they sell the cars that are a year or two old to get new ones. I won't bore you all with all the details, but basically they sell them for under blue book value. So even if we have left over costs from the van then it still may make it a little easier to get a new car!!

Now this would be a HUGE blessing, but we still need prayer because we know for a fact that we owe more than our van is worth. We are praying that it is not an extreme amount of money. We should find out within the next couple days whether our van is worth saving or not.

Oh, one more thing. If you could please pray that this car will be protected while in our care. We could not afford the extra insurance cost seeing how we will have it for quite a while. Our insurance will pay if something happens, but it will be another $500 out of our pocket.

Thanks so much for your prayers!
I'll update soon!!
