Ultimate Blog Challenge Day 20 July 2018 as I begin a busy day I wanted to come and share this mornings post with you:
As I looked through the prompt and the list of examples they games us I knew that any of these would be easy to write about and that I could find information to share on each of the post. Although I knew that wasn’t what God was asking me to share this morning. As something has been on my heart all morning.
I would like to let you know you can overcome fear and doubt if you just try. I had to learn this multiple times this week and to ask for help which I am not good at doing You see we had gotten a van from my father but it hasn’t been working well so we have been having to ask for help from David’s parents.
The other day David’s dad reminded me I was part of his family and we needed a car so he paid to take our van into the garage and it couldn’t be fixed so now we owe David’s dad money that I don’t know how we will pay back. Although I am not going to stress over it as he says we can pay him back $10 a week.
Then my dad called and I had to let him know what was happening. The next day he called me back and asked me how much car parts would be and I had to confess the van wasn’t worth fixing. Then my dad asked me to find a car and call him back and let him know what a down payment would be.
Now our Credit isn’t good enough to get a car on our own although I contacted Car Max and we were approved and my dad is mailing us the down payment and we have a new car. None of this would have happened if I hadn’t swallowed my pride and asked both of our parents for help and putting it all into Gods hands.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
pride could be a bad thing, but don’t worry everything gets better with time. soon you’ll have your own car
Richa, you are correct pride is never a good thing and we do have a new car and I am so Blessed as I never thought it would happen and it did. All I can say is I am Blessed and thank the Lord.
I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t struggle with asking for help. I think it is an innate thing we all avoid. I’m so glad you did, though, because both sets of parents were ready, able, and willing to help you. What a blessing! Great lesson – we don’t know until we ask so don’t be afraid to ask.
Thank you, Jyll and it was a teaching moment for my son as well and I am so Blessed we have our parents as so many don’t.
