"A God thing"

I finally get to write a blog telling you all we found a vehicle for Zach! We searched for 2 months, and right when we were wanting to give up, God gave us a steal of a deal.
Zach found a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer on Craig's List. I figured we would go look at it, and like every other car we looked at, something would be wrong. I took out all the cash from our savings account that we had been saving for a car, and the next morning we headed over to the house to look at the car.
The owner of the car got to the house right when we did, and about 5 minutes later another potential buyer also showed up with his son. It was slightly awkward trying to check out the car while two other people are checking out the same car at the same time.
Since we go there first, we took the car on a test drive. For the first time while test driving, everything seemed to run quite smoothly.
When we got back to their house the dad and son were waiting for their chance to test drive the car too. Zach and I quickly talked it over, and decided this was a great buy! It's pretty compact, but it gets good mileage (which is a necessity for Zach since the church he works at is 45 minutes away and the seminary he will be going to is 20 minutes away), is fairly new, it's a great price, and it RUNS!!
The morning we went to look at the car the owners increased their price $250 (probably because they were getting so many calls about the car). We told the owners we had the exact amount of cash that their original price was and asked if they would be willing to take that price.
The lady said she was so tired of her phone ringing off the hook that she would take it, so we got a great car for exactly how much we had saved for. I like to call that..."A God thing" :)
