Let's try this car thing again
Okay, so we'll try another car. This time it's a 1996 Honda Accord. The guy lives in St. Louis who is selling the car. We're trying to find out if someone can test drive it for us. With gas prices the way they are, it would cost us $45 just to drive there and back. And, the guy wants to sell the car relatively soon. So, we'll see what happens with this one...more details to follow.
Turn of events in our car search
Well, in an interesting and sad turn of events, the car (our car) was sold to the lady's next door neighbor. I was really starting to believe that was our car. I had started to form an emotional attachment to it. Dumb, I know. Naive, I know. Rash, I know. I couldn't help it. It seemed like such a great car. Well, it wasn't the car for us. So, I keep on believing that God will provide.
Another car update
Okay, so we found another option. This car, however, is in San Diego. Seth talked about it on his blog, so I will let you all (Sam, hehe) read it there.
In other news, not much has been happening. I'm still trying to decide whether I should teach a high school English class or not. It would be for the homeschoolers in the area. There's quite a few, so I could have a good size class. (Maybe 10-15) It would take a lot of time and I don't want to be super busy. That seems to be one of the major epidemics in America. Busy-ness. One blessing about going to other countries is that you can see how good America is in some regards and how messed up America is in other regards. It's definitely a distraction, being busy all the time. How I do not want to fall into that trap!
But, when I was younger, I always wanted to be a teacher. Never a nurse or pilot, but a teacher. I would line up my stuffed animals and sometimes my unwilling brother (only after promises to play G.I Joes later) and would teach them math and reading and science. My favorite possessions were a blackboard and a science book that had the student as well as the teacher edition. Do you remember those? The extra long teacher editions? I loved it. So, I'm not sure. I know God will lead and show me what to do. One thing I've learned over the years is that inaction can be in the will of God. For example, maybe I forgot to call someone and invite them over for dinner only to find out that they needed a night of rest, etc....
