Driving me Crazy!!!!

After trying everything she could think of to 'draw near to God' Simone decided to stop.  She almost thought of discontinuing the reading of the Purpose Driven Life but for some strange reason she was compelled to continue, much to her chagrin.  She had also given up on the idea of purchasing a new car, and for now her dream of moving has been put on hold too. 

She told God that she wasn't happy about 'letting go' of her plan, but somewhere deep within her heart, she was sure He had a better one.  However, it seemed to her, he wasn't exactly being a very good friend in not telling her what was going on.  Simone despises, being left in the dark about what is happening around her, it is her number one pet peeve.  She is convinced God really knows how to push her buttons but she is well aware that all of her annoyance at Him, is not going to make Him budge.  "After all," she sighs "God will move in His own sweet time". 

This is the thing!  Right now, this moment, there is a brand spanking new, shiny silver, Nissan Sentra, sitting in her driveway, and Simone has the keys, and all she can think of, is how God is teasing her.  Why would he allow her to drive a car such as this, but not allow her to buy one of her own?  It is a rental for goodness sakes, which is being paid for by her insurance company, a perk she was not expecting,  In a few days she will have her old car back, without the damage to the front end. 

"Whoopee Do" she thinks to herself, "I don't really want the old car back, I want a new one like the rental!" and she feels like stomping her feet and having a tantrum, but she doesn't.  Instead, she tries to understand, and honestly thinks she has to be missing something.  "I just don't get it!" she says to herself.  "Just when I resign myself to letting go of wanting a new car, you put me in the drivers seat?"  "Ugggggh!"

Simone is just a little confused, and wonders if anyone out there knows what is going on?

  2. You are right Janine, I am in the waiting room, exactly where I am most uncomfortable. Thank you for your prayers, and for listening to my rantings.

  3. It is really hard to go back to the old after we've experienced the new and shiny! No doubt.
    Personally Simone, I have found that since I have given everything up to Gods will, I am much happier. The way I see it, things will go for me the way he wants so I just let it happen.
    Not always what I am looking for but it's usually good enough. Love Di ♥

  4. Hi Dianna,
    I am trying really hard to give things up to God's will, I think I do it, then I take it all back again. It is hard to live without a plan. I am so tired today. Giving it all up, mostly because I can't take another step unless God is in it. Kind of tired of 'rabbit trails'.
