I brought Beta home tonight!

She’s a 2013 Toyota Camry LE, and I am officially thrilled to be her new owner.

I know, my previous post on this topic mentioned names like Vivianne or Samantha… but none of them seemed quite right.

And eventually I decided, what better name for my second car than Beta, literally meaning, the second.

Considering the fact that people say I’m the 2.0 version of who I was a year ago… it felt like the car that I’ll be driving forward into this next season of life should be named something that includes the number “two.”

Because of restoration… and new chapters… and all that He’s done in my life… the number two just seemed so fitting for this car that feels like another gift from God.

So, Beta she is. (In case you’re not aware, Beta has a value of two in the Greek numeral system. Sorry, I’m a writer… I like wordplay ;)).

And yes, once again, I’ll say it myself:

I know that I overthink things.

And I’m fully aware that it’s just an automobile to use as my earthly mode of transportation.

But, why not add some spice to life with a few harmless, creative quirks, like naming my car?!

I bought my favourite air fresheners.

I have a glass writer to add some inspiration to the rearview mirror… (I think I’ll stick with what I had in my Belinda car: “I do not travel alone; Jesus is with me.”)

The wooden angel with Psalm 91:11 written on it is in my desk at school, ready to be hung on the mirror tomorrow morning.

I was wondering how I would feel at home in a Camry, since I was so used to my Sentra, but since I drove her home from the dealer I know this Beta car will soon feel like my own.

Especially when it has my personal touches added.

Now all I need to do is come up with words for the license plate to become a fitting acronym.😁
