For months now my dad and I have been car shopping for me. Yesterday we finally bought one! I was very excited to finally be done with the car shopping. Every conversation we had over the past few weeks was almost always about cars. The ones he found that were of interest, ones he looked at, and really awesome ones that he missed. They all weren't meant to be. However, the search is down. Looking back now I see how God was calling me to be patient. I didn't realize it at the time, but my friend Maire and her family would remind me to be patient as we hunted for the right vehicle. I had to trust that the Lord would get us the right car in the proper time. It got to the point where I was praying for the time to come for each car we looked at to be the one because I was growing so impatient and just wanted a car. However, my patience paid off! my car has 90,000 miles and only needs a few mechanical things done to it, that are in no extreme hurry to be done! Now, you may be wondering why I say humility? Well, this summer I learned the true meaning of humility in various ways. With my car, well it's the most basic model you can buy. There is nothing fancy about it. I am used to driving cars that are decked out with every possible gadget. Now I have a basic model honda civic with maual lock, windows, and no cruise, no cd player, no tape player, that I have found. So I've been degraded from top notch cars to as simple as they come, which just goes to show God will provide. The vehicle will take me from point A to point B safely and that's what counts. It took a long time to find, and a lot of frustration, but it's here, it's mine and it sure reminds me that I am the Lord's and my only obligation is to know, love and serve him! So as you may be struggling with something in your life continue to give your frustrations to the Lord. Remember Christ will provide. Be patient and pray. Remember who you are: A CHILD OF CHRIST!
May God bless you!
Keep praying!
In Jesus&Mary,
