Sometimes I am simply amazed...

Life has been a whirlwind lately. From craziness at Kris' work since summer to 100 hour work weeks these days and add sickness into the mix...I feel so exhausted. I have noticed that my body is not taking this stress well, and I have greater admiration for single parents and spouses that work out of town. It is not easy!

I decided to take my daughter is see a doctor today after her 7 day of fevers on and off. I got an appointment and was going to pick up a few grocery items while in town. I was praying during the 20 minute drive for safety as I drove, and for wisdom...for the right words to tell the doctor about my lil girl.

I pulled up to a stall at the store. I pulled in and parked my van. I get this feeling...a feeling to not park there.

"Okay God, if you think I should park somewhere's else, I'll do it. I don't understand you right now...a parking stall is a parking stall but if you are asking me to move, I will."

So with others watching me, I start my van, back up and pull into a different spot...three spots away from my old spot.

I run into the store with my girls, feeling kinda sheepish with my parking! I'm still not understanding why I needed to move over but now, I need to run to make our doctor's appointment in 40 minutes so I let it go.

I finish my grocercies and am starting to walk back to my van. There is commotion near where I've parked. As I get closer I see that the vehicle that parked in my first stall was creammed by another car.The front of this vehicle is smashed badly. It was a hit and run and the people outside were looking for names and numbers of witnesses.

I unload my groceries and sit in my van.
"Thank you God for speaking to me in your quiet whisper and convincing me to move to another spot. You knew that this would be an extra stress I couldn't handle right now! I feel so loved by YOU!"
