Sold

Today I sold my car... It was quiet a process but I did it.

For the last month or so I started praying about my car and if I should sell Chip. About two weeks ago while I was driving to Hout Bay, I decide to use the time to pray.  I was praying about selling my car and God was like, "Sell it".  I immediately started thinking about how I can't sell my car because I need it.  I then said to God, "ok, I'll sell Chip in two weeks because I need it to get to Gap and cell group. In two weeks time it'll be holidays and I'll be able to be carless for a week or so and be able to look for a car." 

So... Two weeks later I posted an advert on Gumtree and on Junkmail.  I had about 5people call me and ask to come and see the car.  Three people wanted to come see it on Friday and two on Saturday.  It rained on Friday and no one came, I was like that's okay. God's got this and he knows who will buy it.

This morning I had a mini freak out when I got up and thought, "I don't want to sell my car" but then I told myself to stop thinking like that. I then had a second HUGE freak out when I saw Dave about how it's stressful selling my car and having to buy a new one and how I don't know how to do this or what to buy. Dave was super awesome with how he handled my tears and fears about selling my car and buying a new one. 

At 3pm the first person came and viewed my car. He was someone who was a car inspector from a car roadworthy centre. He checked the WHOLE car out and made an offer of R14 000.00 cash on the spot.  I told him that I would get back to him because there was someone else coming to look at the car.  20 minutes later the other people arrived and checked the car out from top to bottom.  They looked underneath it, revved the engine like 10 times and then made an offer of R15 000.00 cash on the spot.  I called Dave and spoke to him, the guy spoke to him,my dad spoke to him and then the deed of sale was written up, the money was counted and BOOM Chip was sold and Denzel the new owner drove off with Chip.

I never expected to get as much as R15 000.00 for Chip. I thought I would get less, but I'm amped because R15 000.00 is the exact amount I want for the deposit  I think God knew what He was doing with the sale of Chip.

After the sale had happened, Dave took me to deposit the money.  While I was standing in the queue at the atms I realised that this was the first time that I had done something EXACTLY when God told me to do it.  Normally I drag my feet and take a 100 years to get there. It's a weird feeling... but I like it.  It feels so much better doing something when God tells you to do it, than to drag your feet.
