biker church 2: God Strikes Back

or maybe I will get an answer....

before I continue the story, let me just say that God is awesome.

So the car wouldn't start on Friday. Poor me (and Emily) weren't able to go to the biker church as they had planned. Life is hard.

On Saturday, I woke up early to get ready for this new bus driver class I was signed up for (yes, northwestern school district). I battery jumped the Chrysler and was out of the house by 7:30, would be there in plenty of time for 8AM start up.

On 309, on the hill right in front of LCCC, my trusty 89 Chrysler decided to die. The engine revved and revved but went nowhere. Tranny problems. Ugh. I parked the car on the extra wide median (thank you God) and called Keri. I was quite upset because:
1. I was gonna be late and possibly miss the class
2. The car might be very broke ($$$$)
3. A statey just pulled up and my inspection sticker is expired

Well, the officer gave me grace (sweet), towed the car home and I was allowed to participate in the class with no penalty despite being 1 1/2 hours late (sweet), but what I found so interesting/cool was how God so quickly responded to my conversation just last night.

Now I knew why the car wouldn't start.

I can only imagine what would have happened at 7PM on a cold Friday night if the car died in the same place-with my 12 year old daughter in it as well. With Keri and the rest of the kids out. As unpleasant as my situation was, I'm glad it was me alone on Saturday morn instead of me and Emily on busy Friday night.

God was...is...in total control. He knew all along. I just think that is so cool.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28


Sometimes you say "there's a reason" when something unpleasant or inconvenient occurs
