Well it has been two weeks since our last post about our car situation and we have no more idea about what is wrong as we did then. At this point we have decided that it is time to cut our losses by selling the car and trying to reclaim what we can. We've posted on craigslist if anyone is interested.

Once the car is sold, we'll then need to replace it. This time around we'll have to take out a loan, which means we might as well get what we want. So we've been test driving some different vehicles and looking into our financing options. Under normal circumstances, we could take our time, but we need to get back to Michigan for a wedding in early August, so we are actually going to need to move kind of fast on this one.

Please pray for us in this matter and for our personal finances in general. This ordeal has really magnified the fact that we have some real cash flow issues and that we're going to need to make some changes, which is of course never easy or fun.

As always we appreciate your prayers and support. Thank you for taking an interest in us and our ministry.

God Bless.

Sarah and I recently bought a "new" to us used car to replace the one that was in an accident earlier this year. A '96 Oldsmobile Aurora with approx. 75,000 miles on it - car drives great, exterior is in good shape, no weird sounds, and yet the car might end up being more expensive than we bargained for.

We have had the vehicle for just shy of a month, and now all kinds of things are going wrong. Last week there was a coolant leak that we fixed. Now this week the oil pressure is low (note the oil level is full) and the mechanic can't figure out why. Additionally they discovered that the fuel pump needed to be replaced $$$.

So now the big decision is are we going to cut our losses or try and make it work? Some prayer in this matter would be appreciated.

Thanks.
