It is mine, all mine

Two posts in one day but I had to share the good news.

I received my state tax refund today. It was for one dollar more than the payoff on my car.

I paid my car off five minutes ago. Thirteen days late but it is paid.

It is mine all mine..... well except for the $130 I owe my mom for helping me make it in December.

So according to the paperwork it is all mine. According to my conscience it will be all mine when I pay her back the $130.

That is $300 less coming out of my pocket each month. Things will still be tight just not as tight.

Thank You Lord for seeing me through this.

The Little Red Car is broke...

UPDATE: Little red car that is barely our of its warranty by three months is going to cost me $760. The alternator has gone bad. I think I am seriously regretting buying a Ford. I dont know where this money is coming from, anyone have a money tree?


Well my car is in my work parking lot. It has this little problem where it does not want to start. So I request prayer that my finances will cover what ever is wrong with my little car. The bad news is my warranty expired in March, I think. I left it at work and hope no one steals it tonight, not like they would get very far though. Although my brother's battery was dead too when his hoopdie was stolen twice in the parking lot by the same man ( long story). I will get it towed tomorrow and deal with the bad news as it happens. Ohhhh! Did I tell you that the reason I bought a new car a few years ago was so I did not have to stress and worry about where it might strand me after being stranded on the interstate twice in my old vehicle. So much for not having to worry.
