Still struggling. Car Troubles Part 3

Just one week ago, I recorded a video for “Car Troubles Part 3” when I was almost 2 1/2 hours away from home but I didn’t upload it. I figure it’s time.

I hope you get a laugh from the video as I explain what happened this time for ‘Car Troubles Part 3.’ Below that, I put a link for my Car Troubles Part 2 video (there’s no blog for that one though) and the initial blog (and video) for Car Troubles Part 1 called “I struggled asking for help. Again.”

Today I could write about ‘Car Troubles Part 4‘ but I’m not going to do that. I just returned from getting my battery checked (because when I crank it up I’ve noticed a slight delay and this morning my daughter commented “what was that? Your car sounds like it’s ‘wheezing’ ?!?) along with an oil change and they said my battery was bad. So, I was able to preventatively get my battery replaced today. (Praise God that we have the money for all these car issues and for preventative car maintenance!)

Watch what happened during Car Troubles Part 3. When will I learn??

Car Troubles Part 3!! (October 20th 2023)

I was attending a Health Care Workers retreat, since I’m a Chaplain PRN, put on by the Retreat House north of Dallas. It was my first time there and it is a great space. But, as I said in the video, I was filled with a bit of shame because I’m a Veteran and I still didn’t want to ask for help. Well I did go and ask certain people but not others…. What’s up with that?

And this one is Car Troubles Part 2…

Car Troubles Part 2…. WHY?? (September 30th 2023)

This morning (Saturday 30 Sep), I had an experience that helped me to pass on the love I received from a stranger (remember my first flat tire?) to help me help someone else. I can’t help but reflect on what God is doing through these tire situations in “Car Troubles Part 2.” It helped that I realized I was wearing my “raise kind humans” shirt and so I needed to be that as well. May this story be an encouragement to you in wherever you find yourself.

Here is the original blog (and video) for “Car Troubles Part 1.”

I just keep repeating this experience but I’m learning bit by bit. Do any of you ever have situations like this???

I struggled asking for help. Again.

[…] I struggle asking for help, especially when I really really need it. This was my first flat tire – ever – right after visiting with a patient on services for Hospice. This situation reminded me of my helplessness when I am in situations that I can’t fix and in need of help. I wanted to share that I’m still learning y’all. Scroll down for the video I made right after they drove away but didn’t share until today. Then read the social media posts I made last night- I couldn’t go to sleep without acknowledging how affected I was by this experience of being helped by complete strangers in my time of need. Afterwards, I’m reminded of another Hospice patient who shared a hymn with me during my visit and how it explains my faith you see today. Finally, there are links to previous blog posts I made about other difficult and unexpected experiences in a variety of life situations. Take a look around and may you be encouraged through it all. (Updated- check out Car Troubles Part 2 & 3 here.) […]
