MONDAYS!!

You all know what I am talking about.....you do not want to get out of bed, and when you do, you hope that it will be uneventful!

That was my hope for today. I was looking at a smooth productive day without any hiccups! It started off with the usual run around to get to school for Emma Claire, and then I came home to work. First I called around about tires and brakes and stuff like that, and then made my move on planning out the days events. I found a place that had used tires, that could do all the other stuff too that Ineeded, so I went there. Here is my day on a timeline.

9am- tire place
10 am-picked up by Stephanie to go home and wait for car stuff to be done
11am-call tire place to see if they are done.....no luck
12p-call again
1p-conference call(noone else called in on)
1:30p-call tire place
2p-go back to tire place for car
3p- head to dealership for brake warranty stuff
wait until 4:30p when they gave me a loaner to come home in
5pcall dealership to see if I will be reimbursed for all the brake work Ihad done earlier that morning! (answer was yes)


So during my little time at home and between work calls, I was on facebook(evil addiction) and I started chatting with a guy I went to highschool with. He was nice in school, but truthfully I did not know him all that well. Anyhow, he was asking me about the tires, bc I had not been able to find tires earlier today. I told him what I needed and he asked where I lived, so I told him...though the was just being nice and concerned. Then he sends me a message that he had bought me 4 brand new tires at a place here in Conway!!!! Wait, what? Yep, he and his wife gave me the gift of new tires for my car. I was shocked and overjoyed! You hear of these things, but never think they will happen to you! I asked him why he was doing this, and he said that this morning he felt the urge to look at my facebook page. He saw that I was needing new tires, and wanted to help me out. He said that God had blessed him and his wife and they wanted to help out another single mom, who was having a rough time. Wow!! He said that God had led him to my page and told him to help me. I am not one to question God's motives, so I of course accepted this help from him!

I immediately called my friend Joe, who had to listen to me cry yet again over something that touched my heart. I told him what had happened, bc he had talked me thru the purchasing of used tires earlier in the day! He, like me had a rough patch after his divorce, and so I think he feels sorry for me, which is ok by me, cause he is an awesome friend! He also is one who I think was sent to me by God! He has been there thru a lot of tough times that I have been having, and he is someone that I know I would probably never had run into, if it not had been led by God!

So my crazy Monday, turned out to be one of the most amazing days for me. I love those days when you can look out and see God working in your life. I know that even though I had turned away from Him so many times, he was still there watching over me. And he is continuosly blessing me thru my friendships with all of these amazing people! 10 years ago, I would never have been able to sit here and tell you that I am going to be blessed immeasurably by God to the point that I will see this type of impact on my life. never in a million years would I have ever thought that some of my main people in my life would have been complete strangers. But here I am.

I know now that the things Ihave done for others in the past that I felt went overlooked, were not done in vain. And I am ready to do whatever the Lord wants in my life. Here I am, Lord send me!!
