It really makes me thankful for the days that seem "frustrating" but
really... dont compare to today.
First off... I felt really nauseous today, more than normal... haha...
Jackie had gone to take her test a few weeks ago, but couldn't because
she forgot one of her papers needed. Not a huge deal. But this time she
took my car, its compact... just seemed easier. But she gets there to
find out that they gave her the wrong date for her appointment, but
they would try to squeeze her in. She needed the registration for my
car and I told her where it would be found. She found it, but only to
find out that it had expired almost 2 months ago!! WHAT THE HECK??? So
i look all over the house for the envelope that should have come for my
registration, no luck. I'm on my way to AAA only to find out that I
left my wallet at home... BLAH! Get my wallet... go to AAA only to find
out that I need my car smog checked. I go to my mechanic for him to
refer me to someone (the last smog check guy totally ruined the
engine... blah) so I go get my car smog checked, it took almost an hour
cause they were busy... ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT DIDN'T PASS!!! so I go
back to my mechanic (he is so nice) and is fixing it, taking it to get
it smogged tomorrow then i'll pick it up from him tomorrow afternoon.
So now i'm stuck without a car. Jackie has to take her test in a
different car (her test is tomorrow). And to get my car fixed is going
to be a lot of $$, which we dont have too much of an abundance of with
the Hospital bills. Needless to say... God is always good. He tested me
a lot today and I think I passed. My goal in life is to give Him glory
in all I do. And the way to really see where my heart is, is to put me
under fire and see what happens. Its so encouraging to know that God
was in control of all of this and is using all this for my good and to
His glory. I can't wait for heaven and to leave this sin-cursed world
and imperfections. But for now:
Refiners fire, my hearts one desire
Is to be Holy, set apart for You Lord.
I choose to be Holy, set apart for You my Master
Ready to do Your will, ready to do Your will
Thank you SOOO much Jackie for being such an awesome friend and being there for me today... I would NOT want to be at the smog place without you *shudders*
