Hidden blessing

So Katherine was in that horibble accident; however, It turns out that it was a HUGE blessing in disguise.
Since we got married we have been trying to refinnance her PT cruiser, it had a 18% APR and we were making payments of $332 per month. It was really hurting us. After much trying and praying we could not find anyone that would refinnance us because first we were upside down (meaning we owed more than the car was worth) then after getting a nice chunk of money we made a huge payment on the car and came out from being upside down. Then the problem was that I do not have any car loan history so they would not finnance us. (aparently you need car loan history to get a car loan and you can't get car loan history without a car loan, explain to me how that works?)

In short we were in a real bind. Then all of a sudden she gets in the horibble reck. Yet NOTHING happened to her. She was completely fine. I consider that a miracle and blessing right there, but there is more.

Well, we found out about the insurance. We still owe $9100 on the PT, they are going to pay us $9500, so we are completly getting rid of that high intrest loan, and making a profit. ALSO we found a great new car (A 2001 Chevy Blazer), we finnanced it with out any problems and cut our interest rate by more than half AND cut our monthy payments by about 200 dollars.

Our worries for the PT cruiser and making its payments are OUT THE WINDOW!... This is A HUGE blessing that this happened, and a very interesting way that the Lord answered our prayers.

(I'll post picture of our new car later)
