Today I have started my refresher driving lessons. I haven't driven since the day of my driving test back in March 2017 in Birmingham. I passed the first time! As someone who grew up with a family of non-drivers, this is a massive achievement as I literally started from zero experience with cars.
Throughout the years I have moved jobs, moved house, got married, and still no car 😂 It hasn't been a need as of late but I have realised that if I want to expand my horizon and remove my job prospect limitations, I need to be able to drive. Hence why I am doing my refresher lessons.
I miss Nina, my previous driving instructor. I was stressed the whole time I was doing my lessons in Birmingham and I feel I have also been slightly stressed today doing my refreshers with Chris. I need to brush up on my gear changes and foot work. I am grateful to God for putting these instructors in my life as I know they are here to teach me and to make sure that I (and others) will be safe on the roads.
My plans for the future will be to be confident driving on the roads (especially on the motorway!) and to buy a car. I hope that my husband will also start his driving lessons so we can both drive our car. I am scared, excited, happy and also nervous at the same time. I pray that God will always keep us safe on every journey.
I am scared but I need to be brave for me and my family. This is another level of adulting that I would like to unlock.
Thank you, Lord, for being with me always. I know I can do this.
Love,
R
