My van broke down before Christmas. I could not even afford to have it "looked at", let alone repaired. So, I have been praying that God would somehow work this whole situation out.
I told him I didn't need a new vehicle, just one that was safe, reliable, in good condition. Well, of all the people IN THE WORLD, my alcoholic brother calls me the other day with an offer. His spousal support payments end on May 1. So, he informed me that a friend of his from work (whom I also have met a couple of times) was selling his wife's father's van.
Her father had died 2 years ago, and they have been keeping the van. They drive it now & then, mainly for maintenance, but that's it. They have other vehicles. She has not wanted to sell it because it was a memory of her father. However, she finally realized that it was pointless to keep the vehicle & not even drive it. So, they are selling it. The only owner of the car was her father, who did not smoke! He took care of the vehicle, and they have all of the service info on it. It has a new battery & new tires. It was perfect. We drove it all over the neighborhood & freeway, & it drove like a charm.
SO...I now have a new van Jesus did for me what I could not do. And, even used my brother to bless me.
To those who knew, & prayed, thank you.
