Dear brothers and sisters,
Our family car totally broke down last Saturday. We have to shop for a new car in the next few days. Big headache for us now. However, there are still many things to be thankful. First of all, we really thank God for His protection to bring Doreen, mum and Jacob home safely. The brake line broke and the brake fluid burst and leaked when they were on the road. Doreen didn't realized the problem, and kept driving back home. She was wondering why she had to hit the brake pedal all the way to the floor in order to stop the car. (That is already in a very dangerous condition.)
Secondly, we really thank God that bro KoYung and sis Kai-Huei offered to borrow their car to us during our difficult time. We are so touched that they graciously borrowed us their new 2010 Rondo so that we could carry mum's luggage to airport today.
Thirdly, without the brake problem, car dealer only offers $500 for the trade-in due to the poorly maintained condition. (Our neighbor who knows car told me that I can still sell it for $1000 in street). That was 5 months ago. Now, with the brake line and fuel line system needs to be replaced (at least $1350), we've decided not to repair and keep the car. I only had 3 choices (1) find somebody to sell it (which is impossible for me) (2) to get the Canadian Tire to call their partner to tow it away for recycle (3) I will find somebody to tow it away for recycle. I first thought I will never find a buyer, but God has arranged a mechanic to approach me when we went to our car to pick up our items. Well, I managed to sell it for $300. I've arranged to transfer the car ownership to him tomorrow.
Well, I was stressed in the past 2 days. After writing this email, and counting God's grace to our family. He is always there for me. The bible verse "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" never been so personal to me. Today, God had me experience it. I am so relieved now. I trust in HIM.
Love and good night,
Kian
