New Found Freedom!

One of my New Years resolution this year was to get my driving licence and I FINALLY got around to it!

I have put my driving licence on hold for quite some time now and it feels good to finally get it done and over with. I have been practising for the past half a year, but the one thing I was TERRIBLE at was parking. I still suck at it until this very day. It’s just one of those things that takes a lot of time and practice. When my mum parks the car, and she goes “See, not so hard after all right?!” I have to remind her each time by saying “Mother, you have been driving on this earth longer than I’ve been living in it. Who do you think is the better driver?”

I have not been able to drive on my own just yet, but I am sure I will get lots of opportunities to do so because my mother will be leaving for Malaysia very soon! One of the reasons I was so determined to get my licence by this summer was because I refuse to bus home with groceries, while I have the car at home! Two cars in fact! Really, I had no reason not to drive. My parents just got a new car, so that was also another reason for me to drive the new car. The Rav4 is a pretty sweet car, and I love driving it! I can’t wait to decorate my car with all these cute stuff. Hopefully I will be able to do that when I go to nightmarket one of these days. Reason #2 that I wanted to get my licence was because whenever I go out with friends, I feel bad to get one of them to drive me home because I live so out of the way compared to everyone else. Now that I can drive, I don’t need to count on them to drive me, and I can drive myself!

On the day itself, I was so nervous and especially after the test, I actually thought I failed. I don’t know how I passed, but I did. I won’t go into the details, but I passed! Thank God for that! I made a deal with God that if I do get my licence, I would use it to glorify Him in whatever ways I can (whether it be driving someone, or attending church events [not having the excuse that I can't make it to an event because I don't have a ride]) Now that I can drive, so hopefully I will be able to use that gift to do things for Him!

Thank you all for your encouragements, and prayers throughout this whole process! I really do appreciate it. There were times where it got so frustrating and I wanted to give up, but you guys encouraged me to stick with it and to persevere through it all. Thank you again! To end this post….here is a picture!
