Challenges

We've been having a pretty rough couple of weeks.  We took our car in to get an oil change and came out with $4200 worth of damage we needed to fix.  That amount was basically all of our fund we have been saving up for years for a second car (which we desperately need).

I spent a lot of time crying last week and alternating being mad at/having peace with God.  It's really hard because I have been meticulous about budgeting since we need another car so badly, but apparently this is God's way of stripping the control that I have been holding on to.  I don't like it, and I don't know what is going to happen next, but I'm going to have to trust God (gotta love it when you're forced to do something that you know you needed to do in the first place).

Anyway, I had been planning to write about a cool savings that we got before this whole car thing, and I think I should still write it.  One more post to come.
