Hi,

Just wanted to let you in on some answered prayer ---

My wife and I decided her little car had seen its last days.
We spent an entire day going up one side and down the other at
a local auto row.  We found only a few we could fit in comfortably;
I'm 6'2", my wife is 6' even (+/-).  We also read the consumer info on
what was available.  After all this we chose brand X, found a local
dealer who gave us a good deal, put a deposit down, and waited.
And waited, ... .  About 6 weeks past and still no car.  Kris and I
decided to look at out of town dealers who handled the same make.
The same evening she went to one town, I hit another.  We had talked
about maybe buying the next car `up', if the price was close to
the `lower' car we ordered with options.

I came home and anounced to Kris that I'd bought the higher car at
a great price.  She told me she had also bought the same identical
car at a great price.  Turned out they were within $90 of eachother.
Now we had three cars on order - wonderful.  The next day the car
we first ordered came in.  More wonderfuller (spelling?).  We contacted
the dealers to tell them what was up, and let the first one know we changed
our minds.  But now we still had 2 cars on order (the dealers knew), but
the wait could be 2 weeks to 2 months - neither dealer could promise
anything earlier.

The next day, Kris and I said a short prayer asking God for HELP.
We didn't know exactly what to do.  The prices seemed ok, but the
wait could take us into Christmas.  Could we get a better deal?
God get us the best deal you can, and soon please.

On the way to work I heard a dealer advertising on a Christian rock
station, and got a sense of `at least I could ask.'  So I called them.
It ended up we bought the car from them, at about $200 less than the other
offers.  They also had the exact car we wanted already on allocation,
scheduled to come in November 1st.  They called today with the serial
number.  And they threw in a vacation package (hotel, etc) for
Disneyland - the place Kris and I didn't go to this last summer so we
could buy this new car!  No joke.  God doesn't miss a thing.  He's neat!
Turns out the owner of the dealership, and the salesman who sold us the car,
are Christians - an added bonus, supporting other Christians.

God Bless,

Mike Andrews
