(no subject)
I just had a very long and stressful weekend that I have ever had. The best thing that I got out of this weekend is that God is soooo amazing and really works things out for the best.
Friday I got off work early so I could head to down to the Snake River to go water skiing with my family but my car wouldn't start. Come to find out my alternator went out so I had to find a mechanic (which I did - they are awesome - I've been trying to find a good mechanic and I did) and they fixed the car which cost a lot of money but it needed it.
So Saturday morning I started to drive to Prescott to see my sister for the weekend and I enter Dayton and the coolant gauge on my car went into the red zone which means my car is overheating. So I pulled into a gas station where the manager helped me look at my engine and help me try to fix it but things were not looking out. I remembered that my landlords live in Dayton so I called them and asked them if they could help me try to figure things out, etc. I was just so stressed out because I wanted my daddy there to help me out and he was over 4 hours away and knew that he couldn't except talk to me on the phone and give me encouragement. We ended up finding a mechanic to fix my car but they weren't going to be able to finish it until Monday. So I called my sister to come pick me up and take me to her house.
I had a nice weekend hanging out with my sister and my cute little nephews but I was just stressed out and kept praying to God that it was going to be a little problem on my car and that it wouldn't have to cost a lot of money.
On Monday I called the mechanic all day and finally I got them to talk to my dad and figure out what was going on. In short terms my car has a broken gasket(sp) which means that the car will need a new engine which is not worth it. So my dad says the car is going down the drain and we need to think about buying a new car. My dad could tell that I was really stressed and frustrated and said he would come pick my up at my sisters' and take me home to Pullman.
I had a nice long cry with my dad and let him tell me that it will all work out. The whole time during this crying time all I could feel is guilt because I know my parents do not really have the funds to buy a new car through paying for my tuition and everything else. But I know God will provide and it will all work out.
All I can say is that I have the BEST most AWESOMEST dad in the world. He was willing to drive over 5 hours just to take care of me. I am so blessed that God gave me such a loving dad to take care of me.
Anyways long post but I just needed to get this all off my chest.
