The car fund is growing!!!

As of today I have over $1,000 set aside for a car,
with another $300 ready to be processed soon.


My goal is to have at least $2,000
before I start looking seriously for a car with air conditioning. :)


It's been one of those cool experiences with God, as I have been praying for more than a year now for God to provide a car for me. It's a prayer said every day and sometimes it comes out with frustration and questions. But most times it's just me and my Dad talking about how cool a car with AC would literally be; how cool it is to be able to drive the car I currently drive, that is not mine and how much I still have to learn.

A few years back I really wanted an ipod. Now, an ipod isn't one of those things that you NEEEEED. But I knew I wanted one. So every now and then I would mention it to God. Nothing happened.

Then one day in the summer I heard God clearly say that I could now start really praying for an ipod and so I did. I made a couple commitments (such as no more buying fast food, drinks or treats until I had the money for the ipod).

I saved up up every dollar for the ipod and I didn't ask anybody to give towards it.
There was an ipod listed on craigslist, but it had been there for a while. Since I didn't quite have the money together yet, I was not holding my breath that I could get that ipod.
Yet, God came through and to this day I have still no idea how exactly the money came together. Within 3 weeks I had all the money to now call the old craigslist listing and ask if the ipod plus all the extras was still for sale.
It was.

I picked it up that day... And I think I've been using it every day since then. Thank you Lord.

Any chance you could do a similar thing with the car? :)
