God does work miracles I think Jason would say!
Jason had been searching for a new (to him) car for quite some time. As you will recall in one of my earlier posts (here) this is what he was leaning towards. I just wasn’t liking it one bit! Anyway….. after much searching and praying Jason found THE CAR FOR HIM. He and the dealership had worked out a deal (an awesome one at that)! God was at work! Not only was God working on the deal with the car, but He was working on me too! (Little did I know at the time.)
Jason left work early to go pick up the car that he was buying (about 50 mi. from where we live). The boys and I made pictures to post on the front windows of the house to greet Jason when he arrived home with his new wheels. The boys were soooo excited! While we were eating dinner waiting to hear from Daddy, Nathan got all choked up and said that he was really sad. He said he was really going to miss Daddy’s old car. I asked him why and he replied, “Well, it’s just that I’ve had lots of fun in that car and I will miss it.” I asked him if he thought he would be able to have fun in Daddy’s new car and he said he would. I then explained that Daddy hadn’t sold or traded his Honda that he would have it too. That threw him… he couldn’t figure out how Jason was going to drive home 2 cars at once! Hahaha…. I explained that we would be going back on the weekend to pick up Daddy’s Honda. (What a precious boy!) I was really surprised by his sadness!
Then he comes out with….. “Um, Mommy. I don’t mean to be ugly or anything, but…… (here it comes) I think Daddy’s car is going to be nicer than yours!” Yep he did!! Of course, I had to agree and I told him it didn’t hurt my feelings.

So here I am, excited for Jason, since he had driven his current car for 16 years!!! SIXTEEN---- shesh! Then he had searched and searched for the right car for him. On the other hand, I was really dreading the fact that it was a wagon! I was so torn with my emotions over it all! I really prayed about it (I think Jason did too – he knew how I felt. It wasn’t a surprise.) But in the end…. It turned out great! I love his car. I am soooo happy for him. (I don’t think about it being a wagon…. I look past it). I love the way it drives/rides and it has lots of nice “bells and whistles.” He deserves it!
When Jason got home with his car about 9 pm, the boys and I were standing on the front porch with the lights out. Nathan was waving a flashlight and shining it on the pictures we posted on the windows. When Jason pulled into the driveway, the boys were so giddy. Ryan was squealing and saying how “Awesome Daddy’s car was.” It was the cutest thing. I only wish I had video taped it.
But he did it… Jason got his Mazda 6 wagon!

Congratulations, Jason!!! I didn't think he'd ever part with that old car. I guess, maybe, your saving it for Nathan in a few years? I'm happy for all of you.
That scene should be in a movie! You have an awesome family. Can I tell you, I prayed too?
