I am SO blessed...

This week has been a real Devine week. The Lord has spoken to us in so many ways, about this silly car. First of all, we are getting rid of our 2007 Honda accord that sips on gas to buy a SUV. We are actively "trying" (which I really hate saying because, well, we really know what that means) to have another baby. Three car seats do not fit in the back of the Honda easily. So, anyway...Jason just had this feeling we needed to sell it, and the icing on the cake was when I agreed with him. The Saturday before last I just felt like God was calling me to get rid of this massive mountain of debt. So, we went to Carmax, and they offered us almost what we owed on it (surprising huh?). So, the search began for the perfect, yet cheap, SUV. All doors were slamming in our face, and we still hadn't gotten rid of the car (you have 7 days to sell to Carmax before the offer is null). On Friday, the Lord led me to call the SECU to find out payoff for the car. The same day, the Lord also led me to repost this Craigslist ad. Which by the way, was all God's doing! I didn't even know why I did these things. Well, within 15 minutes we had about 4 people call and want to look at the car. So, the first person that comes puts a deposit on the car and pays full price (about $50 over what we owe). Okay, so here's God one more time. Jason informs me that afternoon, that he had diligently prayed Friday morning that someone would come and buy the car if it was His will. Evedentally it was His will for us to be out of that mountain of debt and less a $300 car payment. We still haven't seen where he is leading us as far as a vehicle. We currently own (no debt) a 2002 Explorer and we're thinking I'll probably drive that and we'll buy Jason something cheap like a truck to drive. It's just so good, that God is so good.

On another note, I started homeschooling this past week. I wanted to get a "head start" since I'll be going back to work next Monday. I wanted to see how our routine will work even though I'm only going back to work Tues./Thurs. Homeschooling is great! Drew loves it, and even complained on Saturday why we couldn't do school. :) It is a little time consuming, and sure it would be "easier" to send him to school, but I love having the time with him and seeing his face light up when he "gets" something.
