Almost a month in apartment livingwhen y phone was fixed, I asked him if he knew an old,good mechanic that was cheap

March 1, 2020

We have been so blessed with everything we need.  Father God has blessed us so, and without spending much money, we have completely furnished the apartment!  A member of the Fellowship gave us a new couch sleeper, ( now we have room for guests), two oriental rugs, 10 framed original oil paintings, a chair and ottoman, a toaster, blender and some other things we needed.  And everything is top quality, matches and is our style!  God is so good! I will send some pictures as soon as we finish getting organized.  
We are setteled in emotionally and getting along much better.  We just had to adjust.  

Now my car (2000 Honda CRV) is acting up.  I paid for a new engine last year and now the backend is acting up. I adopted a Grandson in December at the Verizon store.  I hadn't seen him since then but I was having some issues with my phone and I went to the store.  He saw me and came up and said, " Grandma Swann!"  and hugged me. He knows Jesus and is a really good guy.
After the phone was fixed I asked him if he knew of an old, good mechanic in the area, that was inexpensive.  He said yes and proceeded to refer me to Noel, he called him and told him I was coming to get the car checked out. 

I went to  Noel's, he was in Lake Worth, about 25 minutes away.
When I arrived he took the car for a drive and I stayed and talked to a customer who was in a used car business that had been coming to him for 14 years.  When Noel came back with the car, he told me that it was the differential and depending on the cost of the part, it would cost between $500-700 to fix and in addition, he saw something with the engine that he would have to investigate further.  I told him I was Grandma Swann and up for aboption.  Then I asked him, "If I was your Grandmother, what would you recommend that I do?  He said, "If you were my Grandmother, I would suggest that you keep water and oil in it and drive it until it dies because putting money into it would continue to happen because it is so old ."  Wow, I was impressed that he was so honest.
When I told my Grandson at the Verizon store about it, I got this text back from him:

"Well tell all the Grandchildren that I said, we all need to contribute to get Grandma a car.  I can start by contributing $200-$250.  A Honda or Toyota is a very reliable car.".  
Wow! You never know how Father God is going to work!  I thanked him, he is so sweet!  Then later on, he text me   and reminded me again.
I prayed about it and got confirmation and Father said to ask!  That is His system and He told me to...so I am asking.  I love you and this is very hard for me, but I must be obedient.  Any amount will be much appreciated.
 I guess I need to give you the way to contribute.   I have Cash App, and Zelle, and PayPal.  Phone 301-580-2824
My tags are due to be changed by March 31st, so I will probably need to get it by then.  This was very hard for me, I love you all and I don't have any expectations of you.  I only know that,  my Father God, will provide, I hope you will pray and obey and I will receive with a grateful heart, and it is perfectly fine if you are not in position to, or choose not to.  I pray Father God's richest blessings on you whether you contribute or not.  Thank you for listening.  I will keep you posted.
