Its strange not having a car anymore.

Its a strange feeling knowing I have to become dependent on public transport to get me here and there (Trust me, in Perth its no small feat), and I can’t just up and go whenever I want, where ever I want. I have to say though, life feels a lot more simpler. Not having a car is one less thing I have to worry about, registration, licensing and all the other running costs owning a car involves.

I kinda enjoy it. Sitting on the bus or train, looking out the window or at the people around me with my headphones on playing Ray LaMontagne. Almost feels like I am in a music video and everyone else around me are characters playing a role in the acoustic rhythms of Ray’s raspy voice.

I guess one thing that has really overwhelmed me in this whole situation with losing my car is the kindness shown to me by others. From people offering to pick me up for for work, help me look for cars, drop me places, opening their homes to me to stay the night so I don’t have to travel so far to concern for me walking at night, just goes to show me how much people really do care. Its a nice feeling. Being blessed is a nice feeling.

In Psalm 68:6 it says that God puts the lonely in families, and I know thats exactly what Hes done for me. He’s given me a church family here in Perth and the hospitality and love of so many people are becoming ever so evident to me, especially in this season of life. God provides.

I’m grateful I got picked up for work today. Its almost winter and it was rainy and windy this morning. I would of had to stand at the bus stop in the rain with no umbrella. Maybe I can pray for an umbrella.
