update on the car…
Well, good news…I get to pick up the car tomorrow and the dealer is charging me NOTHING! Woohoo! Bad news…I serious doubt they found the problem. They claim that there was some errant wire connected to the starter that shouldn’t have been and it was creating lots of resistance or something. At first, I was excited. They found the problem!! Yippee!!! Then my husband had to burst that bubble…this car had the SAME problem with the original starter that we replaced. So once again, I will be getting my car back just for it to strand me again. That’s okay. I have decided to give up driving should it leave me again. I have a friend that swears she is turning in her keys when she turns 30…I am a bit past that age…but think I may just as well turn in mine. What is the point of driving a car that is bound to leave me? I just don’t need to tempt fate and deal with a possibly 90-degree day with a potentially cranky baby when this car leaves me again. So, until the next breakdown, I will be on the road. But mind you, you will hear from me again about this…whenever the problem should decide to rear its ugly head!
Just a side note, I know this is God teaching me some wonderful lesson. Maybe I need to appreciate the things I have a little bit more or realize there are people in worse situations or maybe it is Satan trying to get his grips into me to make me worry and think negatively…I am NOT going to give in to the temptation of anger or worry. I will just roll with the punches, so to speak and know that God is in control and even though His plan is not pain free (as I read today from another friend’s blog) it is His plan that is right for me and I just need to trust in Him! As 1 Peter 5:7 says, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.” And also, Matthew 6:34 “Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” I love these verses. They really drive home the point! I am sure I have typed them before…but they are so close to my heart.
Well, enough said for tonight. I need to go feed Abraham. Love you all!
