Think I'll Let God Be God

It's always something isn't it? Right now we're trying to figure out what to do about our vehicle predicament. My husband's car has been acting up for a while now and an estimate at the service center told us it would need a new transmission to make it right again -- to the tune of $4950! When we consider that we know it's also likely to need a new fuel pump (about $1000) at some time in the not so distant future, it just doesn't make sense to sink the money into repairing it. After all, it's 7 years old (but only 120,000 miles -- not horrible by today's standards)

So -- we're down to one car at the moment. My car is simply too small for my husband to drive comfortably. He's a big guy! We're trying to decide if we should buy a new car for hubby and keep mine for me or trade mine in and get something bigger -- and go down to one car.

I'm not working so we could certainly get by with one vehicle. For the time being, my husband can manage driving my car (it's just not very comfortable for him.) If need be, I can drive him to work once a week so I can run errands. It would cut the cost of car insurance down and probably save us $$$ on gas as well.

Such a hard decision to make ... I've decided to put it in God's hands and pray for the right choice to become apparent. Maybe there's a jackpot in our future? LOL ... hey, you never know!
