I know I am rambling a lot on here lately, but I have to share this before I head out this morning. First off, Emily and I slept late. She missed the bus, but that's fine. I did not see why I could not get her to school on time driving her myself. So we ate some chocolate donuts, got dressed and headed out the door. The car would not start. Low fuel + car parked on hill=non~moving car. Hello?! After beating myself up a minute and calling Shannon at work, Emily and I walked over to our neighbor's house and she was glad to help us. She had a gas can full of gas in her shed. So we put some in my car and got it started. I removed the half of my keychain with my house key on it intending to go inside to get money to put another gallon or two in at a gas station to get me out to Madison to pick up my check. My neighbor tells me to just take her gas can with me and get Emily to school. ~I laid the key on top of my car~ so I could make sure Emily was buckled in good and put the gas in my trunk.
We zoomed out of the drive~way, across Hwy. 72 over to Ryland Pike and went up a few more roads over to Mt. Carmel. I got Emily checked in and walked her to her class. I then headed back home. On my way, I was having my quiet time with the Lord. I thanked Him for keeping me from over reacting to the rough start this morning and asked Him not to let the day be too rough. As I was beating myself up, I stopped at the bottom of Ryland and 72. As I hit the breaks, I noticed something slide down my windshield. I stopped cutting myself down and looked behind my wiper blade. It was my house key...It could have gotten worse... I looked up toward the sky and said to my lord, "ok. I will hush. I get it. you are here and I am worrying needlessly again. Thank you!"
You know as well as I do, human logic says that key should have been long gone somewhere back on those curvy roads, but it wasn't. Don't sweat the small stuff. Even if you don't see Him, God is right there with you. Rather than worrying, take His hand and let Him lead you. No matter how lost or out of sorts you may feel, God knows where He is going.
Everyone have a blessed day!!!!!!!
