It has been one year since my old van stopped working. The engine was shot. Confession time- I waited until today to sell it to a salvage yard. They got it this morning. So why did it take so long for me to do so?
Well for one, living with chronic illness and being in pain all of the time made it difficult to clean it out of all the items I had in it.
There was also the issue of the fact that the van was a gift from people at my church in 2009. I called it my Jesus van. So call me silly but letting it go was a bit of a bummer in the sense that the reminder of their kindness is gone.
In with the new, or newer, happened 11 months ago as God’s people so generously donated money so I could buy my current vehicle. A pleasant recent development is that Hyundai extended the warranty to 15 years due to a possible problem which I have not encountered yet.
This morning I thought about Isaiah 43:19 as my old van was towed away.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
God is always doing a new thing in our lives. He is the great I Am meaning he is the eternally present one. We do not need to hang on to the past like I did with my old van.
Each day God is doing a new thing and if our eyes are open, we can perceive it.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
