Whole Life in Shambles

About a week ago my car was having problems starting. I was at work and it wouldn't start. With some major prayers and some patiences it finally started. Well... Yesterday I was going to head out to the library because I had an email that I needed to write... my car wouldn't start. This time the prayers and the patience wasn't working. I ended up walking to the library. I called Bentley on the way and was so upset. I told him the only thing that could go more wrong right now is if I got hit by a car. I got to the library and Olivia called and said she was coming to the library so I asked her for a ride home. She of course said yes. So I finished up and we left. When I got home I called my dad and told him my car troubles. He asked me if I even had money for a new battery I bursted into tears and said no. He was like what's wrong and that's when I said, "My whole life is in shambles!" He kinda laughed and was like, "don't worry we will take care of it. I'll call you back." So I waited for him to call me back and he did and said, "We are coming to see you. We will leave in about 30 min and we will take you out to dinner." It was at this point when I started to cry even more because I knew the Lord has blessed me with a great family who will do anything for me.

They arrived and he replaced my battery. I was super excited and happy. Finally something was looking up. We got to Olive Garden and there was a long line. I said well we can go somewhere else, but they didn't seem to mind. So my dad put his name on the list and they said about 30 min. We took the buzzer and went outside. As we walked outside my dad says, "Okay Steph you have 20 min to tell my how your life is in shambles." I told him I could tell him because I would start to cry. To this my wise father said, "You have 10 min to tell me and 10 min to dry your tears." I began and so did the tears. I didn't really say much. I just talked about my past with Jake and how it still hurts and I don't have closure. He said how can you get closure and I shook my head and said I don't know, I just don't know.

I think my parents were sad and worried because now I'm out of the house and they aren't there all the time for me to go lay on their bed and pour my heart out to them. It's been a rough week that is for sure. I always manage to pull through though. I've done this before and got through it last time... I'm to strong willed to let something get me down.

Tonight I'm off to Scottsdale to party PARTY! GO TEAM!
