So instead of some effort to push out a poetic summary of my nights I am going to just spill my thought, which I have no meaning, reasoning, or idea what the heck it is. For a year I have been talking about paying off my truck, I have been fantasizing on all of the little things or big things I could do with the money I would be saving and one of those thoughts was buying a house. I got so excited at the idea that I could move out of my parents (which is killing me that I am not in my own place) and be on my own that I decided that I would try and pay the truck off early. So the beginning of the month came and I had the money to pay my truck off a full year early which was very exciting to me and exciting that I would be able to move forward in looking at a house. I talked about it and talked about it to everyone especially God. I had budgets, decoration ideas, desired areas but still no real feedback from God. I thought it was funny that he was letting me move a big decision like this forward but didnt think about it to much. Then a thought randomly crossed my mind that instead of buying a house maybe I should buy a new truck. As I thought about it, it sounded like a much better idea because whos to say my future wife down the road would like what I bought. Whos to say that I am going to stay here in Florida when I get married. Whos to say that we would have enough money to support the house. Yes a smaller finacial decision was a much better decision because in the end right in the middle of getting married, getting a house, talking about BIG spending thoughts I would be stuck with the fact that I would be needing a new truck. I dont know if thats next year, the year after or in five years... But I would for sure be in need of a new truck at any one of those marks. So the thought randomly crossed my mind about buying a truck and the all of a sudden I get a call from Lakeland Toyota telling me about their buy back program and how many trucks they had that I could be looking at. I laughed on the phone because for a year I had been talking to everyone especially God about buying a house and then in ONE DAY I had an idea that I might buy a truck and it seemed that God was saying YES DO THAT.... DO THAT... Ok my man... I hear ya... You are just funny to me sometimes in how you randomly grab my attention on things like this.
