Oh great.. it's my truck again...

Well, it's not good at all this time... Halfway to Houston MO my truck did a bad thing.. It popped out of gear, and would not go back in, and when I forced it into gear it made horrible screeching grinding sounds.. It worked if 4th gear, but no 1, 2, 3, or 5... it's nearly impossible to start after a red light in 4th gear... let me tell you!!! This is not good at all, it could be the transmission needing rebuilding, and if that's the case, I'll be buying a new truck because to get a new transmission would cost more than my truck.. this is not good at all... I don't know why all of a sudden everything seems to be going wrong at once in my life.. My truck has always been very reliable and i've never had problems, but here in the last couple weeks this is the third very major and expensive problem that has come up with it. My social life seems to be falling apart, the money isn't there when I need it, and everything around me seems to be crumbling. However, I put my faith in Him who loves me and died for me, and I know everything will all come out right in the end. It is in the times of trouble that God makes Himself most felt in my life. Many people ask how a loving God could let bad things happen. For me, many bad things end up being good in the end, even if it doesn't look like it, because I learn to trust God. God is a loving God, but he doesn't control our lives like robots. We have choices to make, many times things that seem like they have nothing to do with us are merely because we have made poor choices in our lives. I'm not saying everything is that way, but sometimes it is. God knows what's best for me, and apparently He's purifying me through the fire. If I imagine myself as a lump of silver going into the silversmith's furnace, the prospect doesn't look good, and the flames hurt. But after I come out on the other side, molded into a beautiful pure work of an artist's hand, the pain and fear seem like silly matters when I see what I've become. It's the same in real life too. Now I'm not saying every bad thing in our lives is God's loving touch. We all make mistakes, and God is a just God, and there are consequences for our actions. There is also a dark and evil spirit, fallen from the glory of heaven who loves nothing more than to wreak havoc upon the lives of God's children. However, God is in control still, and if we keep our eyes upon Him, and not on the waves around us, we will always come out on top, and one day meet Him in glory forever. Please pray for me now, my life is not what I want it to be, and most of all right now I'm worried about how much my truck is going to cost, or if I have to buy a new one how much that is going to cost. Your prayers are appreciated :) God bless, and please have a better week than I have!
