I gotta share this, and this is akin to me praying during the bad thunderstorm that I make it to church, and when I prayed not to have a child/to have a child, that I not be late for work when I just saw my bus roll by, when I prayed about how to handle the Ford when going through my divorce, and a few other situations that I know was answered by the blessings of God.
I was called in early yesterday. You see we in Georgia don't really encounter snow storms/ ice storms, but when we do, all hail breaks loose! Haha, get it? Get it?! Haha. Cars from non-drivers end up in the ditch, people drive too fast, people drive with bald tires, they drive with 30 inch rims, but the biggest problem is that truckers jack knife. This last storm about a week or two ago, people were stuck in their cars for up to 14 hours! So with memories of the last episode still fresh, people are shopping in the grocery stores and buying as if they will be holed up for two weeks in their house. So, like I said I was called in early. I finish making a casserole and go in to work. I get on the highway and about halfway in my travel, my radio stops. Now I'm thinking there's something wrong with the station, until later on I check it and the screen says low battery. I say ok and keep driving, knowing that I will have to make the purchase really soon. I get off the exit and all my gauges drop. They act as if the car isn't driving at all. Now that worries me. Something is clearly wrong with my car. I pray to my Father in Heaven that I be able to make it to the parking lot at work where I can be safe. I Vox my girl and let her know and right when I was going to say "I think I can make it", I changed it to "I'll be able to make it". So I'm driving and now the car is silent. I hear the engine noise from pressing the gas, and the car kind of lurches when it changes gears, but aside from that, quiet. And all turning signal functions cease, so essentially no lights. I was allowed to make it to the parking lot. And just like my prayer, as soon as I turn into the parking lot, the car stops everything. I've got no lights, turning signals, no engine noise, my power steering is shot, no gas. Nothing. My car is dead. My brakes work though! So I had to put the car in neutral and push it up a slight incline to park it. I never realized that I could push a car by myself.
I can't say that I learned a lot. I already know the power of prayer, especially during one of my fasts. I already know the things that our Father in Heaven has done for me after one of those good prayers. I guess every once in a while, you feel extra special, like God only loves you, when He answers your needs, wants, or desires. Kinda like getting a gold star in kindergarten.
So now, here I am, stuck at my girlfriends house all day with nothing to do except watch Netflix and beat someone's ace in BlackOps.
Thank God.
