My car was towed away last night. The past two years have been challenging times for us. My husband and I both were stressing out in a circumstance we couldn’t seem to find any answer for. There is everyone and no one to blame. Did we overspend what our earnings were? Yes. Were there events or calamities that caused extra expense? Yes. Were our incomes affected by the overall economy? Yes. Music is always the first to go! Second is a school cutback in special programs. Thus both our work has been affected. Thankfully I had been trying to negotiate with the bank to no avail and knew this was going to happen so it wasn’t a shock.
When I first got the car it was such a blessing. A second vehicle made caring for my mom’s needs and spending time with her easier. Grandchildren time increased. No longer did we have to rent a car to take trips to see sick relatives and sadly attend several funerals of those very close to us. The car gave my daughter freedom from stress for a couple months as she adjusted to a full time job after years of law school. I was free to get a diet Pepsi before I started my piano lessons. It was borrowed numerous times- I will never forget a young couple in our church took it to a wedding and came back raving about how comfortable they were in my car! Yes a book could be written about life enjoyed in my car.
For today the car is history and the consequences are yet to be seen. I can tell you this. Our financial position has improved and we have solidarity in all other areas we thank God and friends for. So am I going to let this annoy and torment me? No. Am I looking for another car? Yes. (One of those miracle ones that just end up parked in your driveway lol!) Mom actually enjoys riding in the truck as she enjoys the view from higher up. She and I getting into the truck may win America
