things change

This world is all about change. Everywhere you turn, change change change. For so long i was terrified of change. But hey, change isn't such a bad thing. My life as i know it, is unfolding a page that is full of excitement and joy. I sold the truck, yay. this means that im on a hunt for a car that is good on gas AND cheaper. I think that i have found a few but i want to make the right choice. the gf, school work and home is a lot of driving. so i believe thats the smart thing to do, sell the truck. Now, moving on to the camper, wow what a weekend with that thing. I had it sold, then the people drove it off of the lot and got 5 miles down the road and it started to fall apart. It had a small leak that turned into a huge leak that nobody saw. It was inbetween the walls and bam it fell apart. I had to give a full refund and then by the grace of God i suddenly realized that he was in control and would make it all better. As he did! right after that my truck sold, what a relief! So i answered many emails.... well Alicia answered emails and told many people about the damage.. well nobody wanted it at all. Until a guy contacted me and wanted to look at it, so today he saw it and said he would put several thousands into it and bought it. I got basically nothing for it. it was a huge hit that i had to take. but hey, gotta trust God.
God is gracious, and when i say that, i mean it. Things happen. People that you are close to will shock you and make you sad and wonder why? But i have realized that If someone says things or do certain things, it may be because they have something more going on with them. I have many questions that run through my head and the main question would be why. Times like these when i think that the world is over as i know it, i turn to God and pray. and oh the power of prayer. God has taught me so much here in the past couple of weeks. That he is BIGGER than me and he will ALWAYS take care of me. Not to mention that Alicia is such a blessing. I know that i couldnt go through these times in my life without her. Especially when the lady was calling me about the camper threatening to sue me and take all my money, WOW she calmed me down and helped me more than i could ever ask for. I guess my ramble must come to a conclusion. My conclusion would be, IF you ever go through tough times and question the whole world, just pray. seriously God is so much bigger than we are and i have learned that first hand over the past could of weeks. People will let you down, But he is gracious and will always walk beside you. Stay close to him and will be your solid rock! Meanwhile, surround yourself with loving people who support you and know you for you and understand everything. wow did i just type all of that? haha later days
