Major Car Problems

          This past weekend my car just decides to quit on me. I was hanging out with my boyfriend after church because we had somewhere to go at 4:00 in town and oddly enough it was to a church class. The devil got us there but that is the only place he got us and espically me. It was funny because my pastor was talking about how we should give our blessings back to God instead of giving to other earthly things. Well, I was thinking how I was doing pretty good now with things settled and better then it had been in the past year.
              Thinking about how I should use my money for God. Should I give to my church or sponsor another child from Compassion? Right as I was thinking it my car stopped. Found out yesterday it was a costly repair. In a way, the devil won there too because my extra money is going to pay for that in payments probably. I did get my car battery free though. That's a whole other story. The devil didn't win at what was the most important thing to me. If you know me at all, you know when things happen with my car or something I cannot fix, I go into my anxiety attack and just cry and yell non stop. Well, I didn't on Sunday, which is a surprise for me!
               Yet it wasn't. Some of you might be reading this and are like what she didn't cry or yell and no I didn't. Thank you very much. I wasn't by myself. Like I said my boyfriend was with me, I had to be calm. Lol! Ok, not really but I wanted to be calm plus I had someone to talk to and work it out with. I was amazed at myself. I didn't let the devil get to me or us. What is more amazing is my boyfriend knew exactly what to do to calm me down and we have only been going out for 3 months.
                I write about the experience because it was a really different feeling. It was the feeling that I needed someone by my side all along and I have that. Someone who understands and understood me. I pray and hope we keep this experience in mind and go back to it if we ever need too. That's also another reason that I am writing it on my blog. As I think back too, this is our 2nd biggest thing in this relationship. We have each had one thing wrong and we saw how the other acted through it all.
               I would say we are doing pretty good especially when we are still learning about each other. Yet both of these situations have helped me better understand what a true relationship really is. It really is a friendship that builds over time, not something that will happen really fast and be over just like that. It really does take time. You never will understand the other person fully. It is an adventure everyday. Might I also say I am writing this on the date we become offical in our 3rd month if you look at it that way.
