Exciting Answer To Prayer...

I will try to make this short... Background- Two and a half years ago Jason was working for a company that transitioned from company trucks to truck allowances. We had to go buy a truck for him. They required it to be on a short term note (very high payments), and each month they reimbursed us for the payment and insurance. We bought a very nice Expedition. Well, the company became unstable, the economy went down, and Jason found himself looking for a more stable job. God blessed us with a great new job, however, this company did not do car allowances. Being the car was new, we couldn't exactly sell it without being upside down. We had to just pray that God would provide us a way to keep the truck until we paid it down more. We hardly ever use it, because my car is paid off and Jason drives his company car.

Monday- Jason and I actually had time to have one of those in depth planning, budgety, looking out for our future talks. We both felt very strongly that we should try to sell the Expedition.

Tuesday- Jason took it to get all shiny and clean... then took pictures of it.

Wednesday- Jason posted an ad on Cragslist. We priced it just below what most similar vehicles were posted. Five minutes after the post we got a call!! This guy said this was exactly what he and his family were looking for... unbelievable!

Thursday- First thing in the morning the guy sends Jason an email and says they are ready to buy it!!

Friday- The deal is done, the check for our portion of the money is already printed!! We make the exchange tomorrow!!!

This is such an incredible answer to prayer!! Now, with the extra money we made on the deal and the extra money every month, we expect to be out of debt in six months!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!! God is so good and so faithful!!

  1. Woohoo, indeed! Such a good feeling and we do serve a faithful God. My husband and I are sticking to our guns and will be debt free next year. I'm thrilled!

  2. I wish we could find a deal like that for Michael's Mazda! We managed to get out of my Saturn (a huge relief because of it breaking and being overly expensive to repair since Saturn went under), but we are now in 2 small cars - not exactly comfortable for the kiddos in the backseat. But, we are praying and hoping that God will direct our steps in getting a family vehicle sooner than later :) Congratulations guys!!!
