Finish last

So sang the nice guys. I've baked cookies, oreo truffles & cinnamon streusel for my mechanics. Monday will be week 4 without a car that they said could be fixed within the week. I know things come up, but why even promise a week if it's impossible? I wouldn't be so frustrated if I had known it would take 4. But. now. I'm. miffed.

I was really hoping to learn something profound in these 4 weeks. Probably would if I'd look hard enough. Let's see.

Well the Lord has raised $455 of monthly support for me in the last two weeks...WITHOUT a car!

I got to spend time with Ken, Beth, Bryan, Rachel, Holly, Brandi & Amanda...WITHOUT a car.

And well, even though I feel a little stuck (since I do live in the country), it's been a good reminder of what true necessity is...and it's NOT a car.

Since so much of life is about perspective, I think I'm gonna thank God for the good gifts He gives and try not to take so much of our "luxuries" and His extravagant grace for granted.
