Car

On New Years Eve, we bought a car.  We got a really good deal, and it should last us for quite awhile, but we did end up with a little bit higher payment than we were hoping for.

I've been trying to revamp our budget, and try and figure out how to make it work, and still be able to do the other things we need to do.

We needed a car, and right now, with certain circumstances, getting a loan, was pretty much our only option. 

Anyway, as I have been cutting out things, and trying to figure out where to cut back, on an already skimpy budget, I got a phone call from the dealership.  It's been a week since we bought our car, and during that time they kept looking to find us a better loan.  Seriously, who does that?! The lady that called said she needed us to come back in, because she found us an even better rate, and they wanted to have us come resign a new loan, with a lower payment, and lower interest rate. 

Coincidence?  I think not.  I think it was an answer to many prayers we have before we bought the car, and even more since. 

We prayed that if we were supposed to have this car, it would work out, and we would find a way to be able to afford it, without struggling every month.  When we found out we got the loan we did, we were nervous, but felt good about it, and felt like things would work out.  Having this extra help, and lower payment is incredible, and to me, it's a great blessing, we received because we followed a prompting, even though it was scary, and we weren't sure how it would work, only that it would.
