About 4 years ago God provided us with the car we have now- a Honda Odyssey. We had given away our car a few months previously and I was now very pregnant with Lily. We knew God was going to provide, we just didn't know how. The bank refused to give us a loan. Some friends gave us some money towards a down payment, but the bank wasn't satisfied. God provided in a different way, which He often does!
Some very loving people in our church gave us a personal loan at a very low interest rate which allowed us to buy the car. On top of already giving us a great interest rate, last month they lowered it yet again which allowed us to make our final payment on the car today. I felt so blown away when the gift first came, and then to have them be even more generous 4 years later was icing on the cake.
Sheldon and I are looking forward to using the "car payment" each month to pay off a huge car repair bill that had to go on our credit card.
Our Father never stops amazing me with the ways in which He provides for us. It's not always easy going and stress-free, but we are never truly in want.
I know our benefactors want to remain anonymous, and I will respect that, but I want them to know what a huge blessing they have been to us, and how much their generosity has changed our lives. And I also want to say we are the proud new, debt-free owners of a great car... SOLD!!!!
