I appreciate all the comments. Thank you.
It was a good thing that we didn’t give in and gamble last Saturday because my son’s car is very old (1994) and wouldn’t you know, the alternator went out on it on his second day of driving it! So his Dad took it to the mechanic and had them check the whole thing over for safety and have them replace the alternator. The bill was a whopping $697. Now we still have to replace the tires and I am hoping this vehicle still has some miles left to give us. The mechanic said that mice had made a nest in the wiring:) this is a car that sat for a long time. That is all our available cash. All gone, but let me just say that not gambling has allowed this opportunity. I had $7, I had -$1200!!!! This is truth. I was so completely irresponsible with our family’s future. No wonder I was sleepless and frantic. Having a paycheck go into our account and not be gone from negative balance fees is awesome. Getting a bonus and watching it sit inSavings week after week waiting for the time to buy our boy a car. Priceless freedom.
Lauren and Happy (sorry girl you cant be fear, i reject that name) you both have a similar thought in your replies to me. Happy, you wrote resist the devil and he will flee from you…..Lauren wrote to stay focused on God. Both of these work together. The verse is James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
That’s the way to win at this recovery.
