car stuff

Last night, after a long, LONG day at work, I went to get my oil changed at the firestone place...long story short...i went there cause i bought this card for like, the same price as 1 oil change and yet, I get 2 free, so I used my 2nd one...still have 1 more to go and I am NOT getting another card. It isnt worth it. It still took an hour to get the oil change and I had to talk to the annoying guy who works the desk and tries to get everyone to buy things they don't need. He deserves an A+ in doing that...he was talking bad about every place that had tires, he wanted to sell me tires...blah blah...so, I stopped by the downtown library to check things out...then, I went back to get the car, try to ignore the annoying sales man...and then go grocery shopping- I went to walmart in search of some good deals and I need to return pop bottles...finally made it home in time to realize I left my phone charger at WORK....so, I hardly got to talk to the BF which I really wanted to do...and I talked to my wise friend JAMEY...love her. She always has great advice and really good connections to the president. :) (if you know what I mean)....yeah. he likes me.

So....anyways, this morning was an early one...dropped the car off at SAM's to get new tires...my wonderful friend Beth picked me up...we drove to work together....i love that time I can get with her! :) And...she will hopefully remember me after work and I can pick up my car with NEW tires!!!

Then, tomorrow night after work, I am driving to flint to pick up my mom and granny...who will be in town til we leave on saturday for my other grandma's house to visit with her and I will hopefully see Jamos for even 5 minutes, and that would be enough to keep me going! :)

So, life is hard, I have bad feelings in the pit of my stomach due to the situation I am dealing with...and need guidance from the Lord. He is my rock and I know he can change hearts and work things out for the GOOD.

frustration

Today has been a rough day...disappointment and confusion seemed to have guided the way...and I am struggling in this area today with certain things. A friend sent me this verse from James 1...loved it and it went right to my heart. I also appreciate the wisdom of those I love...thank you.

2Dear brothers and sisters,[b] whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy.

3For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

4So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.
5If you need wisdom--if you want to know what God wants you to do--ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking.

6But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

7People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

8They can't make up their minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.
9Christians who are[c] poor should be glad, for God has honored them.

10And those who are rich should be glad, for God has humbled them. They will fade away like a flower in the field.

11The hot sun rises and dries up the grass; the flower withers, and its beauty fades away. So also, wealthy people will fade away with all of their achievements.
12God blesses the people who patiently endure testing. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

13And remember, no one who wants to do wrong should ever say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else either.

14Temptation comes from the lure of our own evil desires. 15These evil desires lead to evil actions, and evil actions lead to death.

16So don't be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.

17Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heaven's lights.[d] Unlike them, he never changes or casts shifting shadows.

18In his goodness he chose to make us his own children by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his choice possession.

Summer is flying by...

Another really fun weekend at the lake...the bf made dinner for me on friday night, we watched movies, played at the beach every day, went to watch fireworks at venetian fest., saw our families, spent time together, always wonderful.
