Well, we did it. We reached an agreement with the dealer on the price of a new truck. We can make the payments and husband feels like he won the price war. The truck has a LOT of extras that we weren't asking for, but the price is so good, it's like we're getting them for free.
Car shopping, negotiating and loan applications make my stomach hurt. I don't know why. Maybe it's because we're spending a LOT of money. Maybe it's because we have to open up our confidential information to people we don't know. Or maybe it's because vehicles don't have a set price like at the grocery store. Why all the back-and-forth? Just shoot me straight!
Whatever it is, I have learned something wonderful through this process: God is sovreign. My husband was really good to include me in the details and the decision process, which gave me some comfort. (I thrive on information.) But each time I took my nervousness to the Lord, He kept reminding me that He had everything under control. He was keeping my husband mindful of our budget, He was making sure my husband didn't move too quickly and miss out on a better deal, and He was showing me how to be supportive even when I didn't feel completely comfortable with what was happening.
The Lord has impressed upon me that I need to trust HIM. He is more than capable of moving in my husband's heart to show him what needs to happen. It is up to my husband to listen to the Lord. When I was afraid my husband might miss something the Lord was saying, it was then that the Lord asked me to trust Him all the more.
So, God is sovreign, my faith is stronger, and I am learning to love the sound of a diesel engine. :)
