Z71 4x4
Well, Edward and I finally did it...we bought a new truck! Edward has been wanting a truck for over a year now and we finally found one we both agreed on. It is a dark gray, 4 door, Z71, 4x4 Chevrolet pick-up. It has a sunroof, black leather interior, and is only a year old! After hours in the dealership, the truck finally came home to meet its brother and sister (yes, we now have 3 vehicles). Buying the new truck reminded me just how stressful big purchases can be. Just over a year ago we also made another large purchase, our home. For some reason my heart begins beating faster and faster throughout the entire process of purchasing something large. I know it sounds silly but I always fear the "what ifs". What if we can't afford it like we thought? What if it's a mistake and we're going to find a better one in a week? What if, what if, what if? It drives me absolutely crazy, but I know that I have to trust we did the right thing. Becoming a grown-up is so challenging and full of stresses that I never imagined. I find comfort though knowing that God has a plan and that as long as I am following my heart, He will take care of me. I am simply a worry wart, who will think of everything possible to worry about. Believe it or not, I even wake early often times because my mind simply cannot rest. I find comfort, however, by reading the verse Matthew 6:34 which states "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." So although I spent an entire night worry about whether we made the right decision or not, I now feel completely confident. Purchasing the new truck was well worth all the worrying. Not only do I love our new truck, but I also have learned to trust in the Lord when making those big purchases and He will lay on my heart what I should do. I just have to get myself in gear, do it, and trust. Now, off for a ride in the new truck... :)
