Totalled Car
PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE THE
LORD!
Guess what our Father did today?
My prayer request for Eric involved the car accident he was
involved in 11 days ago on Sunday. We had scraped together
all the money we could to buy him the best car we could so
he could go to the University of Arizona and complete his
degree in computer engineering. When he had the accident, I
asked the Lord to please do what was best regarding the
vehicle. We really were hoping that it could be fixed and be
safe to drive again - but the Lord had other plans. We
finally got word today that they had totaled the vehicle
completely. The insurance company told us we would be lucky
to get half the value of the vehicle. We were completely
devastated! We didn't know what we were going to do. I told
the Lord, "It's out of my hands, all our money is invested
in this new business we have started and I gave him the last
dollars in my savings to buy this car, I don't have any way
to fix this for him, my heart is breaking, Father - fix this
for your glory and as a witness to Eric (he is not as close
to the Lord as he used to be) -it's in your hands now. When
they only offered us half the value of the car, believe me
when I tell you it would have not been enough to purchase
anything even drivable. I prayed all day and asked you all
to pray with me. When the Insurance Agent called back at
4:30, he offered my son a settlement of just $600.00 short
of the value of the vehicle!!!!!! Praise the Lord! And the
best part - my son said, "Mom, I know it was the Lord!"
Praise the Lord! What a good God we serve!
