A while back we decided that it was time to be done making a car and boat payment. This was a bit of a painful decision (especially for my water-sports LOVING husband). We prayed about it and the Lord did the miraculous and in this economy we were able to sell our boat for more than what we paid for it!! Yay God! We then decided to use cash to buy a car. We considered many options...mini-van (Yes, Mom...I remember all those times in high school when I said I'd NEVER drive a mini-van), a smaller SUV, and then settled on the wagon (formerly known as the STATION WAGON!!). Thankfully, my visions of the car driven by Mike and Carol Brady were pleasantly replaced with this! We drove 10 cars this week and drove everywhere from Lynnwood to Tacoma...and the Lord made it clear with every single one that they were NOT the car for us. Either the price was too high, mileage was too high, or the condition of the car wasn't what we were hoping for. Finally, God led us to this 2004 Passat Wagon and it is just perfect for our little family!Now we're asking Him to quickly provide us a buyer for our Yukon...so if you think of it, pray for that. :)

What a blessing, Jessica. I bet you're excited for no car payment AND better gas mileage! :) You guys are really smart- it feels great to have no debt...and I will definitely be praying for the Lord to bring you the right buyer for your old car!
Congrats on the car! Can't wait to come out and see it in person. But we really can't wait to come out and meet baby Owen...is he here yet!!
Yeah God! I am so happy for you guys. I will be praying for a quick sale on the car. God has been opening all the doors so far... I am sure He will take care of this too!
I will pray for a buyer for your old vehicle too.
