some people say that a vehicle is just a means to get from point a to point b. for others, such as myself, it is much more than that. although these two cars have gotten me to so many destinations safe and sound. the journey it took me to get these cars to what they are today has taught me quite a lot. its kind of funny and odd to say that working on a car can teach life lessons, but hey, God can reveal many things in the strangest ways, right?
the biggest things that these two project cars have taught me is patience. whether it was working countless hours trying to install the new parts. waiting several months for custom ordered parts to arrive. running into mishaps during installations. it taught me that no matter what one encounters in life, one should try to be as patient as they can. sometimes with a lack of patience, one tends to gain frustration, anger, and possibly hopelessness. truth is, we are ALL going to run into bumpy paths and a ton of obstacles. in the end, its vital that one sees the bigger picture. realizing that there are always lessons to be learned through struggle, realizing that there should be true purpose in everything we do, and most of all to persevere when things don’t go as we expect. often times there are good paths in life, but remember sometimes there are even BETTER journeys that may be more difficult. fear not if you don’t get what you want, pray for patience and trust that possibly better things are ahead of you.
