The Car By Allison

June 8, 2007..."God I give it to you, Lord. It was the statement I made after months of car shopping. I had $2000 to spend on a used vehicle and no experience buying a car whatsoever. I had heard many horror stories about used cars and I couldn't afford a lemon. Lord, please lead mne to a car that will be reliable. I will trust you, God, because you know cars and I dont"

So the journey began, I felt God tug on me to go into one of the many car ltos in Springfield, Missouri. OK, God, which car? Tug, Tug. He called my attention to a very cute Mitsubishi, Mirage. Lord, that looks like a very nice car, but how will I afford it. I walked up to the price tag and it read $2500. And there was a Jesus fish on the back of the car.
" God, is this a sign, this Jesus fish?" I wasn't convinced because I was in the Bible Belt of America and most cars had Jesus fish. I decided to take it for a test drive. I pulled into the closest apt complex parking lot to do the only thing I know how to do on a car, check the oil, oh yeah and make sure there was actually an engine. So I lifted the hoodm checked the oil, and then started..."Hmmmm. Yup it's a car with oil. Now what" So I prayed, " Lord, I dont know if this is a good car. Could you please send someone here to tell me whether or not I should buy this car, because I don't know." Not a minute after I prayed a man with a watering canrounded the corner. Walked right up to the car. I was staring at the engine when he said, "Thinking about buying this car?"
"Yup, but I don't know," I replied. He put down his watering can and checked the fluids, hoses and tired before stating " You should buy this car, but talk them down a few hundred dollars." WOW, thanks God that was quick.
I went back to the dealer and offered the m$1900, he said make it $200 and it's yours. I got the car for $500 cheaper, the exact amount that I could afford. The story doesnt end there
When I drove the car home, it started making a noise. "Oh no, Lord I know you got me this car, how could there be something wrong with it?" but God works in miraculous ways. When I drove that car to work, my co-worker, a part time mechanic heard the noise and told me to pop the hood. Hidden deep down soemthing was unplugged and 1-2-3 good as new. He said the previous owner probably sold the car when they couldn't find the cause of the noise and I now jhave a car that was worth $4000 more than what I paid for. God is awesome!
