The black truck

The black truck was supposed to help us get out of debt and make life a little simpler....seems the black truck also came with a black cloud. So far the silly thing has cost us 3 times the amount per month that we were making a payment on.  Talk about busting a person's balloon. We are currently also still having problems with said truck.  The saga has rocked on now for about 8 months.  Once one thing is fixed, another problem presents itself.  Through all the frustrations of this truck I am reminded that I too am a lot like the black truck.  I also sometimes feel like I have a rain cloud over my head.  Once one thing lines out another duck goes running off in another direction.  Going through the emotions of the heartache of the truck you start to think just sell it!  But then there is the lingering thought, well if this will line out, I will keep it. Then something else goes wrong and you can't sell it until it is fixed and then you are left with so much money in the silly thing that you will never get it back out, but ahh to be done with the dumb thing. Hard to have faith in a truck that keeps giving you grief. But isn't that what Jesus does for us?  We present problem after problem to him and he always fixes us.  He is the master mechanic!  I am so thankful that he hasn't sold me off or traded me in.  He lovingly opens the hood of my heart, takes a look around, finds, and fixes the problem.  Thank you, Lord for never losing faith in us and our little black rain clouds.
