God's love: what I learned when I sold my car

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

Late last year, after a great deal of prayer, I decided to move from Boulder, Colorado to Washington, DC. With just over two months to prepare, I began to crunch the numbers and make plans.

Since I wouldn’t need my own transportation in DC, I wanted to sell my car. Cash from the sale would fill in a few gaps in my moving budget. I felt that God was leading me to make this move to a new city, and He would furnish the necessary resources to make it possible.

I placed an ad online to sell my car. I received a few responses, but no one seemed especially interested. So I placed another ad and put up flyers. I lowered the price to my rock-bottom figure. Several people looked at the car but they never called back. Weeks went by with no offers, and I started to feel discouraged.
