Pick up day!

hello dear, how are you? miss you 🤍

Today is finally the day - my 86 pick up day! It’s such a dramatic day because it’s my second day of period, and I already foresee that I might have some cramps. So after I woke up, I decided to stay at home and attend church service online, so that I would have some more time to rest. What I didn’t expect was that my cramps were super bad when it started to hit me, I couldn’t get out of my bed the whole morning and had to have two painkillers.

I was quite worried because I was supposed to pick up the car in the afternoon. Thankfully the pills started to kick in and after I had a bit more food, I felt quite much better. So my brother drove me to Sai Kung and we picked up the car!

Here is me :) I especially wore my vintage car tshirt, haha

I also just really wanted to share how blessed and grateful I am with this whole journey. My seller is actually quite nice, really corporative and very polite throughout the process. That made me feel less anxious about being scammed. Aside from that, everything else just also went really smooth. For example, I had to arrange a new parking spot at my place, and I was able to save $800 because I can start renting on Monday. Also, when we had the car inspection, the driver seat was kinda stuck and couldn’t be adjusted. I was quite worried that I wouldn’t be able to drive comfortably until I fix it. But when we picked up the car, it’s no longer stuck at all. It really was like a miracle because I even asked the seller to try unstuck it this morning but he said he couldn’t.

Also, I am so glad that this happened after my parents are back. Because it’d be so much easier to sort out all the logistics and putting the car under my dad’s name. And my brother was able to come with me today to pick the car up, I could just follow him to get home so that I could be less nervous.

There’re just so many things and details that make me see how God has been providing, protecting, and blessing me through this journey of getting my “dream car”. From having the earliest thought of getting my car, to doubting my own thoughts, to wrestling with myself and God, to having to patiently wait for the “right” car, God definitely has used his own way to prepare my heart and guide me till this day, so that I can welcome it with the most grateful heart.

It might sound silly, but even though the money came out of my pocket to buy this car, I know this car is God’s present for me for my 29th birthday 🤍
