Crash!

I know I haven't updated in a while, but I will soon and plan to post some pictures of the kids. This is just to ask if anyone is selling, or knows someone who is selling a car. Sean got in a car accident on his way to work this morning. Thankfully he wasn't hurt (since he doesn't have any health insurance) and it wasn't his fault, but it still is horrible. The car was in my parents name, and we only had plpd insurance on it. The lady was turning left and she ran a red light and they smashed into eachother (there wasn't a stream of cars turning, it was like at the last minute she decided to speed up and go through the red). The front of the Honda was completely smashed in, the windsheild was cracked, and the air bags went off. We didn't actually take it to an auto body shop, but we called to see a ball park for the damage that was done, and he said at least $3000. We didn't even pay that much for the car and we can't afford that much to fix it. It really sucks too cause that was such a great car, it got 28 mpg and ran great. So now we have to figure out what we are going to do about another car, and we need to figure it out fast: Monday the Secretary of State and the insurance place is closed because of labor day, and Tuesday Sean and I both have to go to work.

We really don't have much we can spend on a car, and only plan to get plpd on it cause we have full coverage on the van and can't afford to pay that on two cars. Ahhhhhh, why do these things have to happen!? We were talking about it and wonder if God knows these things are going to happen, or if they are part of his plan, or if they just happen. We were finally in a good place with our car situation and then this happens. I have been crying on and off today, I think partly because of the pregnancy hormones, but also because this is really difficult.

If anyone has any thoughts please let me know, thanks!

hey grace,
i'm not sure why God allows these things to happen either,but it was her bad decision, not sean's.
and maybe your crying alot, like you said because of your hormones and also because you realize how fast your life can change. you could have lost your husband, but thank God you didn't!!!
maybe you or sean can borrow my van on days i'm not watching the kiddies and your mom's car if she's not using it till you get one. i hope that helps some how. love you all,mom/judi

Grace, I love you and your family. I will pray for you. Things will turn out ok. I was looking for cars on my way out to Buckley today but I didn't see anything.

Kayla,

God has provided us with a car. It is a 1994 Saturn SW2, it was the only thing we saw in the Sunday paper that was within our budget and haden't sold yet. It is a nice car, in really good condition and gets great gas mileage. The guy selling it was out of town for the weekend, but we went and bought it as soon as they came back, luckily, because he had a lot of people that wanted that car. It cleared out our bank account though, so I am interested to see how we are going to pay the bills now!

God will provide a way for the bills if you just remain faithful to him! What a blessing to have been able to pay for that car with cash!!!!!!!!
