God is Great
I gues it is time I actually write out the awesome story about a girl and a car.
So a couple of weeks ago, my car (neo) randomly got a severe oil leak that really wasn't worth us fixing. I was rather bummed out because i need a vehicle everyday of the week, and my schedule doesn't really work with anyone else's. I was kinda upset about it and I was trying to rely on God, all my life I have been taught that God will provide, well, this was a time for me to test my faith in that. I really tried to go to God first with my concerns, it was an effort. The night after i found out about my car, i drove to rehersal in my mom's car, when i got there, there was a person who could tell right off the bat that something was bothering me, and I shared with her about my car. Before rehersal started, she went downstairs, a couple of minutes later, she came back upstairs. She told me that she called her husband and they decided that I could borrow their green honda which was an oil guzzler, gas guzzler, and had 2 cracks in the windsheild. I just had to wait for her husband to register his truck,and then I could borrow that car until I could find another one. It was a temporary blessing that I was so excited about, it really lifeted my spirits for the evening. (before i go on, i have to say that the spedometer doesn't work in my mom's car) When I was driving home that night, I was praying, and I just had a small thought of "God, it would be great if the spedometer came on, I would feel much safer driving home."
I looked down at the spedometer, and it came on. That gave me such a renewed faith. When I got home I was pratically preaching at my parents and saying how God said He would provide and He will. God was going to provide me with something better than what I had in the driveway. God said He would never leave me or forsake me. God knew my need before it happened.I think that was when I wrote the post below about faith.
I just kept going on through that week bumming rides off my folks and some others :) . That sunday, i was talking to the lady about the car and we were discussing when I would be able to pick it up. She went and talked to her husband for a couple of minutes, then she pulled me over. Her husband looked at me and said, "If you would like it, the car can be yours." I didn't know what to say. To know God was going to provide and then for it to happen, didn't lessen the shock. I think I said thank you and a blessing is appreciated. I was completely floating on a cloud the rest of the day. It was great to see God work in such awesome ways.
It has been a couple of weeks, and I am still without a car, I'm probably getting it this week. The funny thing is, I'm not impatient. I was told I should be, and that I should be riding the backs of the people giving me the car, but the person who told me that was wrong. For the first time in my life, I am completely at peace and patient about this car thing. God has provided, I am not waiting to see IF God will provide. I have no problem waiting for this blessing. I am just so grateful for God putting these people in my life. It isn't even just about the car. I had nicknamed the lady blessing, because that is what she has been to me since I met her. God has used her to help me through some pretty difficult times.
I am not sharing this to say look at my good fortune. That isn't what this is about at all. I just want to remind anyone who reads this, that God is still on the throne, and all those promises He made to us through His Word, will not return void. Even though you can't see Him, God is still there.
