God is Good!

I'm always amazed when God miraculously intervenes in my life--and by now, I shouldn't be. I'm one of his little girls and he has taken care of me every single day of my life. BTW, I hope you enjoy my new layout...I like this one alot!

Today, my brother-in-law purchased a Hyundai SUV for only $2300 at a car auction which I will pay for out of student loans. It looks to be the only car in the auction that wasn't a victim of an accident, it just has some storm damage. At first, I thought I was going to have to live with the broken windshield and dents for awhile, but to get the title on a "salvage" vehicle, you must fix the things wrong. So he's having his guys take the dents out, fix the windshield and he's taking care of getting the tag, tax and title taken care of. So for less than $3000, I'll have this cute little vehicle and NO car payments! It'll be two more weeks before I have it, but God bless him, he got me a pretty sweet little ride!

I met with the other guy's insurance company today for them to assess the wrecked car. I was certain (as was my lawyer) that they would total the car out. The problem with this is that when they do that, the insurance company takes possession of the car. And they are only obligated to get me a rental until they give me money for the car...and I would have to pay the costs of insurance above the basic liability that I had on my car. So I was looking at being out of a vehicle until the SUV was ready to drive.

Lo and behold, the insurance man gave me a choice. I could have him total it out and he'd take it then and cut me a check OR he would give me 95% of the costs of repair and he would cut me a check and I would keep my car. AND, rather than the few hundred dollars that I thought I was getting, he gave me over $1000 for that old Mitsubishi! That's enough to survive this month until my student loan check arrives.

God is so good. I cannot say it enough! God is SOOO good!
