Our car, a suzuki Liana of Top Gear fame, has been a wonderful car. It has taken us to Northern Ireland, Wales and England as well as all over Scotland. Since Hannah was born on the 7th of August last year it has been full to capacity as the two car seats left no space for anyone else. Our team also expanded the day Hannah was born as Crystal arrived in Aberdeen the very same day! (We actually saw her on our way home from the hospital!) Once the dust had settled we began to ask God for a bigger car (7 seater) so that we could travel as a team, and so that we could accommodate visiting grandparents too. We started prayerfully researching about 6 months ago, but nothing came of it. We were also keen to pass on the blessing of our car to someone else, and were asking that God would make it possible for us to give away our car somehow in the process. We prayed on and off and then a few weeks ago Ian felt that we were to ask God again for something specific. This was in the context of asking for something of God as a sign of a deep relationship with Him - humanly we would only ask for something of a friend or someone we feel close to, not an acquaintance. So we asked, and the next day we were offered money for a car!! Thank you God! After that we started seriously looking again and were a bit bamboozled with the options. Then, on Saturday we went to another garage to look at a vw and came across a Toyota Corolla Verso. We had seen some of these on-line but they were totally out of our price range, and we knew that they have fantastic reviews. It was in great condition, and it was in our price range to the extent that we could give away our car! In fact the price that we were able to negotiate came in almost exactly on budget!! God has provided amazingly for us, and in the process He has enabled us to partner with Him to be His provision to someone else too. What an amazing God that He wants to work with us in this process even though He doesn't need to. Everyone is a winner!!
