Time to Put the Old Horse Down

My car is totaled.
There wasn’t anything wrong with it, other than body damage, but it’s totaled, and now, it’s not my car anymore.
Yesterday I had to say goodbye. I left work early, went to the lot, and cleaned out my car. I have to admit, I cried a little bit, because that car was a miracle car.
It was a miracle that I got it and a miracle that it help together for the time that it did. It almost gave out on me so many times.
So I cleaned it out and said goodbye, and signed my name on the dotted line.
I then took the title to the insurance company’s local office and picked up my check. Now, my car is most likely on it’s way to a salvage yard. Which is funny, because there is at least one part in the car that I got from a salvage yard. It’s gonna be passed on down the line now.
The great thing that happened yesterday is that I found out that I actually do know how to manage money considerably well, as evidenced by my ridiculously high credit score that I didn’t know I had. So, that was a confidence booster.
The other great thing was that I got approved for the loan amount that I asked for, and the loan rep. that I spoke with educated me on buying cars and gave me a lot of resources so that I wouldn’t step on to a lot and get the wind knocked out of me.
Now, I just have to wait until I can car shop and see what God has waiting for me. I know it will be good, and I know it will last as long as I need it to.
I just have to find it.
That’s the news.
