New Addition to Our Family

After reading the book, Your Money Counts published for 
Crown Financial Ministries, I decided that I was going to 
start thinking and treating money the way God wants me to 
think of and treat money. This lead me to discuss with my 
honey the decision to make our next car be purchased with 
CASH ONLY. This would mean downsizing, no fancy 
extras, freedom from monthly payments, and saving 
thousands on the life of a loan.

Thanks to God's leading, trusting Him at His word, 
much prayer and the prayer of other prayer worriers, 
waiting, seeking (countless hours on the auto internet 
sites), and did I mention God's leading and prayer, 
He added this to our family.

It is not a perfect car, but it's in pretty good shape 
for it's age.  My honey has already been shopping 
around for parts to fix some cosmetic issues.  Most 
importantly, we learned that God does provide, He is 
true to His word, and we were blessed with a better 
car than I imagined we would end up with.
I hope you are inspired to read the book (Did you 
check out that sale price?  Great for the budget!) and 
begin the rewarding, trying, blessed journey to 
making decisions based upon what the Bible says 
about spending, saving, giving and being debt free.  
It seems like this economic crisis is the perfect 
catalyst for sound council as this.

Very Nice! Anything is good when you don't payments. Pretty soon the kids are going to be driving.

Yeah, Alex already called dibs on the passat. Sabrina is still wanting a VW bug in lime green. She's not specific or anything. She better start saving.

Very pretty! I bet your hubby doesn't mind fixing some things on the car. Sometimes I think guys hope for issues to come up just so they can work on the car.

Congrats =)

Mrs. SC,
Thank you for being one of my prayer warriors. I think your right 'bout the Hubs, he is excited to do this & that. I guess he likes projects as much as we do.
