God Is Always Watching Over Us

Before I headed out the door yesterday I made a plan of what all I needed to do. Obviously God had a different plan. Right now I am working on preparations for two all day Saturday Teacher Training classes I will be doing within a couple of weeks. So yesterday I was planning on getting the student manuals copied and pick up some lamination for my laminator. I drove downtown with a friend of mine. We parked and everything was fine. We picked up the lamination and everything was still okay. When we went to back out of the parking spot we came literally to a grinding halt. I got out of the vehicle and found the front wheels turned in different directions. =) Even though I’m a girl I know that is not how they are supposed to be and knew something was wrong with the axle.

I called the tow truck and then we began to wait. My friend and I had a great visit while we explained to people who were honking and trying to drive around us why we were sitting in the middle of the path. Three hours later the tow truck arrived. They loaded the vehicle, we piled in and headed for the shop were I take my car to be fixed. When we got there the guys took a look and informed me that the ball had come out of the joint. If I had been driving down the road it would have been a very bad accident. I thank the Lord for allowing it to happen in a parking lot.

We took a matatu home and after having had no food all day I made lasagna. It really hit the spot! I night ended with laminating, cutting visuals, calling for rides for the next few days, and thanking the Lord for His protection. =)
