discombobulation

I'm feeling completely ovewhelmed these days. I don't know what it is but I have been unable to get my schedule under control - either work or personal. I know I haven't written in a few days but I am going to "schedule" this little writing time in my calendar every day so that I at least see a reminder pop up for me.

I sent in a subscription for a monthly devotional called Tabletalk. It is put out by the ministry associated with RC Sproul: Ligonier Ministries. I stumbled across it a while back and because the commentary is all about the "verse" of the day, it seemed like a good devotional to read. They just started through the book of Philemon this month. My first copy came over the weekend and I've tried to make it a point to do the daily reading every morning while I'm eating breakfast. So far I have been successful. But of course it has only been 4 days. I'm enjoying this one, though. Very thoughtful commentary with an equally thoughtful daily application.

My personal life spun out of control yesterday when I took my car in for a "small" break change that ended up as a "huge" break job. The estimate for 4 breaks and 2 roters (sp?) on the front plus bearings on the front would have been $1100, which is more than what my car is worth. I just had the alternator replaced 2 months ago, totalling $1200, so this was another big expense that came just a little too quickly. My dad finally said that it was time to get a new car. So, I'm driving my Accord, praying that it 1) stops when commanded to and 2) doesn't fall apart while I'm on the road. At least until tomorrow when I can leave it at the Honda dealer and walk away with a new car. Trying to work through applying for a loan, finding a car, coordinating between the credit union and the dealership and the credit union and my dad has taken a toll on me. So far the only thing that remains outstanding is finding the title on the Accord.  Please pray that I find it tonight.

That's all for now. I'll put this on my schedule for tomorrow. :-)
