Holding My Horses

I've come to accept, our lives will be a series of waiting on others....



We started car shopping over the President's Day weekend. This is what I have my eyes and heart set on. Until we figure out this housing situation with BOA we can't buy a car. Even if we figure out the housing situation today, we need to still wait to put a good down payment on it so monthly will be low. We have our down payment for the house, so we need to save for the down on the car. Also, if we wait until next year, the pay for R's position could exponentially increase and that would make car payments less noticeable, well, I am hoping...

We walked into Lexus and the salesman pretty much turned hubby off. For one, he was really pushy and two, he kept saying, "You look good driving it". R didn't like that statement very much; he could care less about what he "looks" like driving it. He drove an old car (wasn't the greatest looking thing), in college, so looking good isn't a top priority, besides, this car would be for me. The salesman even then told me, you will look good driving it. Though we are Asian and Asians tend to "want" to look good, we aren't that type of people. R is a physician, but if you see him outside walking the dogs or hanging out at the mall, one would not believe him. T-shirt, slippers and shorts are his choice of clothing, likewise for me. Looking good, wearing the "in thing" isn't a priority of ours, and I am happy like that.

Well, as I stated earlier with BOA, yes, we are STILL waiting. Today makes it three (3) since we were supposed to close, but listening to the radio yesterday reminded me, where we are, is where we are meant to be. Like David, God has bigger plans, if we push until we get our way, things will not work out. If we are patient, wait on the Lord, it helps to avoid some sticky situations.

Though the one day we were excited about getting the quote on the carpeting, where we were that morning is where we needed to be. If we didn't go that morning, we would have not known about the neighbor ready to file litigation for damages we had nothing to do with. Now, it's just waiting on the Lord to sort this out....
