Okay, another day in the Special Ed saga....another reason to GET OUT of Special Ed.....Won't go into details here, but just know that God showed me again today that it is time...and I am SO glad I took the ELA test Saturday. Just keep praying I passed it!
Switch gears....Most of you know that my darling youngest son....the one that Kauy will be like when he gets older...totalled his car back in October. "I wasn't going fast, Mom"...yet the frame of the car was bent as he hit the curb spinning at Redbud Park in the 30 mph speed zone. Well, I told Luke he would not get a car until he could buy his own.
For the last 6 or so months, I have been carting my 17 year old around to church, sports, YoungLife, work. And that is hard work for an old 50 year old woman!! I mean, when he gets off work after 10 p.m. I have to get clothes on, and drive across town! Barf!
Luke had saved about $1000 from his job at Cotton Patch. I told him I would take him over to Scott Sim's Freedom Motors, and we would JUST LOOK. You know, let him talk to them and see what kind of car he could get for a certain monthly payment.
We walk in and talk to Ed. Ed tells us that they just got a Honda Accord 99 model that morning. You know the spiel...one owner, little old lady....and they wanted $4995. for it. AREYOUKIDDING!!! Yes, it has 150,000, but it is a HONDA. So, forget the 'just look' and 'just talk about it'....Luke will be picking his car up after school tomorrow.
God is amazing. If we had gone in Friday, or tomorrow, the cheapest car they had was $10,000 and no way could he afford that! God is good...God is great...God is AWESOME!!
And his payments are $144. for three years....Whoosh!! I wish!!
When you open your eyes to God's work in your life, it is right there smack dab in front of you....there are NO coincidences!!

oh my goodness. How wonderful!! Scott is a wonderful guy. Love his family!! Oh...that would be the same as my family since we are cousins.
And I do hope Kauy is as precious as your Luke! They can be trouble but when the push comes to shove...they make us smile and proud no matter the smell they leave behind.
What's he gonna' name it?
Suggestions:
*Anna Honda
*Hondo
*Agent 99
Enjoy your FREEDOM MOTOR, Luke! Enjoy your freedom and stay in your jammies at 10 p.m., Luke's mom!
Oh my gosh...I don't know..I will have to ask him. However, he doesn't have the quirkiness of his mom...I may have to name it for him. I do like Agent 99!
And I was ready for bed last night at 10!! woo hoo!!
