This
morning, in addition to the death on Saturday morning of my nephew, I faced an
unexpected problem - car wouldn't start. Had it towed - it was the battery. Had
it replaced. With finances down to just my income, and with other issues to cover
financially, the battery money ruined my "make it to the end of the
month" plans. Still, I was very grateful that it happened in my driveway
before I left on errands. I could have been stuck out on the road somewhere -
that never makes me a happy camper.
While it
was in the shop, my guy checked the leaks I've noticed a lot lately on the
driveway. Ready for this? It's my front driver-side axle and my power steering.
I must get it done before the end of the month. He suggests in 3 weeks or less.
Cost estimate is between $400 and $500. No way can I "find" that
money. We had already re-financed our short term loans for recent car sensor
issues, and last week's water heater replacement was another blow.
Am I
worried? Well, I'd love to say I've got the kind of faith where I do not worry
at all but I'd be lying. Yes, I'm a little worried. But experience has taught
me that with faith and prayers, it will work out. Being human, I am a little
concerned but I will place it in His hands.
And, oh,
yes, I'll also ask my beloved friends to squeeze out a quick prayer for me on
this one. You all know I keep you all in my own prayers daily...
Father, I
am eagerly waiting to see how you are going to resolve this one. I know it's
just a little bump on life's road and my journey and I trust you to begin
working on it for me now. Bless my faithful friends abundantly, please -
especially those so eager to pray for others even though they be burdened
themselves.

You are so sweet to care, my friends. Do not worry, either of you. It will work out, as it always does. You two are facing things these days that would totally depress me, but somehow you manage to deal with it - to me, you are both amazing...
