Lately, I feel like life is throwing me every punch in the book. First, our white car died... and we could not figure out what to do to fix it. So, we bought a new truck from a used dealership. The NEXT day, the check engine light came on. not cool. We waited a few days, thinking maybe I didn't tighten the gas cap. we bought a new cap in case this one was bad. The light never went out. We then had it checked out and found out that the transmission needed fixed, and we needed new wheel bearings! I took the truck to a transmission place in Cedarburg. They did a nice job for a good price and replaced both wheel bearings and the brake pads. So, i picked up the truck. They did have one problem with it not starting at first, and said we might need a new fuel pump, but hopefully not for a while. Back on the road, and the truck was running nice! Everything was looking up. two days later, I go out to start the truck before work. I smell gas in the garage, and the truck won't start! So needles to say, now it's sitting in my garage until we can get it fixed and again, I'm borrowing my parents van. So, I've been praying and asking God to help me get through this, trying not to stress and trust God that he will provide. Last night I get home from work and Nathan informs me that the washer broke. Hopefully he'll be able to fix it. But geez, what else is going to go wrong?
So this was my rant, one way to get my stresses. I KNOW God is in control and everything will work out. I need prayer from others that I always keep that in mind and that I don't stress.
Thanks for listen.
Oh man! I sorta know how you feel on the vehicle side of things. At the same time you bought your new Jeep we were trying to decide to buy this new van or not. We decided since we had already sunk $2100 in it earlier this year we'd try to see how much longer we could get out of it. We'll then we needed to replace rear brakes, a sensor, and finally the master cylinder. After 3 or 4 trips to the shop and hundreds of dollars later hopefully we have things fixed for awhile but we were wondering if maybe we should have bought the other van, LOL! You never really know with older vehicles though! I hope life can be a little less stressful for you(although with the holidays coming up it may not happen). I will be praying that God will equip you better to handle the stresses that will come up!
ReplyDeleteHave you taken the truck back the dealership and told them they sold you a bum truck? A lot of places will help fix it if it's within 30 days (otherwise, they aren't going to get good word-of-mouth advertising and they look like a shady place)...
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that your husband is good with trying to fix things! Hopefully things will look up soon! :)
