For those of you who've heard me talking about getting another car, I've decided not too. Right after I got the itch, God showed me that there are other people who are more content with less than I have. Money will obviously be tight, because I'm going to school. I have no right to ask my parents for something that they can't give me that I don't need. So, logically, it wouldn't have been a good idea. I have a car that runs great, and I can put so many more miles on it than it has. I only wanted something better, but I don't need it.
But the thing that showed me the most that it was me that wanted the car and not God was the obssesive actions that I took. I looked at information online. I left the room to talk to dealerships. I was going to make a trip today to test drive a different vehicle only to see what the CVT transmission felt like. I didn't tell my mom that that was what I was doing. And when I was at work, pondering, words of Jesus convicted my actions: Men loved the darkness, because they are ashamed of their deeds.

I knew all along that I didn't need a car to begin with. The car that I already have is in very good condition and is still good for lots more miles. I just had this bug for something new, bigger, better, than my car. I probably shouldn't have linked the 500 video. Go here for a better site. but the 500 has a bigger interior with more leg room in the frong and back and a bigger trunk, yet it has a smaller body and a smaller engine. But God told me not to get it by showing me other people that didn't have what I have, and by doing that He was teaching me to be more content with the car that I have. He also showed me a little bit about the stresses that money can place on people, and I realized that I shouldn't have pressured my parents for another car when I didn't need one.
