What a Day!
Current mood: triumphant

With a title like that and with the recent events of my life, you would assume that I had had one of those wonderful God and Joe filled days. This however could be partially farther from the truth!

Yesterday I woke up early as is my way in order to get a lot of things done for school, small group, and the Stations of the Cross at church of which I'm the Artistic Director. The first place on my destination of needs was Walmart. So at about 7:30 is I pulled into their parking lot and bam! I suddenly couldn't turn my steering wheel and my car was dead. At first I figured, huh.. it must have just stalled. So I tried to turn it over.. again.. and again.. and again. But nothing! Nothing! Then a woman came running at me screaming that I was leaking Gas! Immediately I jumped out of the car and stepped into a puddle of Gas. Luckily I wasn't in any main road or anything but in one of the isle lanes of the Wal-mart. The first thing I knew I needed to do was get my car into one of the spots and get home. I called Clint. He was super fast and came and helped.

Once home, I called AAA and the saturn dealership. Tracey came home and took me back to my car so that the Towing company could Tow my car to Saturn. We went to the Saturn place and I talked to the guy there, letting him know what happened. They said they'd call with an estimate and in the mean time, Tracey drove me around so I could finish my errands. We went to Hobby Lobby, had lunch at Pizza Hut (my treat), and went to look at these great apartments/town houses near Parkland College.

My car was fixed and finished by 1:30! It was great and it didn't cost any some sort of extravagant price. They had to replace/reattach my fuel line and then because it needed it, I had them rotate my tires, change the oil and air filter, and wash my car! I was super excited.
Amazingly as well, I got all my errands done, was able to finish helping set up for the Stations of the Cross, and then had a wonderful time at Small Group last night where God was definately present. Yay! What the devil tried to work for evil, the Lord used to bless me and He receives all the glory for helping me! It shows how much I've grown, how I'm more independant and don't need my dad to always pull me out of scrapes.

Go Jesus.. He rocks it hard core!
