We're looking to get a new car soon too...trying to prepare for a hopefully expanding family, but I didn't realize getting the car we want could be so expensize. We just finished paying off several loans and thought it might be enough to cover a new car payment, but now it looks like it will be at least double. So, like you said, we'll stay confident in the fact that God will provide the PERFECT car for us at the PERFECT time and PERFECT price. Praying the same for you!<BR/>P.S. If you think of it...please pray for us...Hannah broke her collar bone this morning falling off the couch while sleeping and it's very difficult to keep an active 2-year-old down and keep an arm in the sling! :)BeckyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448813867992517044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19071528.post-1161115912754530042006-10-17T16:11:00.000-04:002006-10-17T16:11:00.000-04:00James...very shameful indeed.

It is a great reliable suv with 107,000 miles. It is red, 1993, with leather, brushgards, moonroof, and 4 wheel drive. It has a little bit of rust and some some cracked leather in the drivers side seat. We are wanting to get rid of it fast and are asking around $3,800. If you want to take a look at it feel free to give Michael or I a call @ 334-9799 or 308-1074. <BR/>(I am Cheri Rogers' daughter)<BR/>Best of luck, <BR/>Amanda HoeksemaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19071528.post-1161066923326868712006-10-17T02:35:00.000-04:002006-10-17T02:35:00.000-04:00Hi, Anne.I don't know if this will make you feel a...Hi, Anne.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if this will make you feel any better but...<BR/><BR/>When I returned home from my missions trip to India in 1998, I decided to buy a car. A good car, for once, not the one that would cost me $320 to buy and $1500 in less than a year to keep on the road. So I got a $6000 loan and bought a cute little Saturn SC-1 that was less than five years old. I loved that car.<BR/><BR/>Four months later God sent me to college. I was not planning to go, so I had no money saved up, and actually had to increase my loan to pay for my tuition.<BR/><BR/>Towards the end of that school year, my cousin started rooming with me and my other roomies. She made some bad dating choices, and one morning I woke up to find that her fourteen-year-old delinquent boyfriend had stolen my car, picked up a buddy, got high, and went out to B.C. to dodge a court date for stealing a motorcycle.<BR/><BR/>This was on the morning of the rehearsal for the biggest event of our music program's school year--"That's Enterntainment!"--which had a good deal to do with our final mark.<BR/><BR/>I loved that car. I did see it again--in a crumpled mass, which was the result of a high-speed chase with police through the mountains. I had a lot of valuable (to me) things in it, that were never retrieved. Plus, because I had increased my loan, even after the insurance payout I still had to keep paying for the car.<BR/><BR/>It was hard to forgive. But I had to.<BR/><BR/>It was harder to let go of that car. But I needed to--it was becoming an idol to me. And, my next school year was much less stress financially without it. (We moved within walking distance of the college, and I took cabs home from work.)<BR/><BR/>I'm just saying. Most of the time the situations that really really suck also have good things come out of them.<BR/><BR/>I hope you find your silver lining sooner, rather than later.<BR/><BR/>Hugs!Talenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708514906027919415noreply@blogger.com
