The Lord is looking out for me

I took my car into the shop today to get it fixed. My problems all started immediately when I got back from Rexburg, a strange noise was coming from underneath my hood. It wasn't very loud, but it was different than the usual purr of the cracker box. I went to the shop to get an estimate and to see if they knew what was going on. It turns out that the crankshaft was loose. The estimate he gave me was $450. Since I definitely did not have this money, I decided to park it and talk to my parents. My dad talked to the guy and was able to get the price down to nearly half of the estimate. He informed the guy that genuine Honda parts for a 20 yr old car was not neccessary. This afternoon I went in to retrieve my car. The guy was amazed that it was still running. By today, the soft unusual noise was a loud clunking. It sounded like it was going to fall apart on the spot. Keep in mind that I couldn't have traveled more than 5 miles since I first heard the noise when arriving in Provo. This problem progressed VERY quickly. The mechanic gave me back my parts and showed me what the problem was. A little key that is no bigger than 1/4 inch across had hollowed out a hole that is at least 1 inch across. This hole is supposed to just barely fit the key. This happened because a bolt was completely stripped so it wasn't holding anything together. This caused everything to rub and become destroyed. The mechanic said that someone had to be looking out for me. There is no way that I should have made it back from Rexburg. I do believe that someone is looking out for me. My dad said that he was very impressed with me. He said that most people wouldn't have noticed the strange sound let alone check it out until the car was completely dead. I see myself as a semi car savy kind of girl, but I know that the Lord opened my ears to hear this sound. Since my car problems progressed so quickly, my whole engine would have been ruined if I hadn't gotten it to the mechanic immediately. To replace an engine would cost more than my car was worth 10 yrs ago. But the problem was caught quickly and my car is once again running like a champ!
