In the continuing saga of my bad week and everything going wrong, my car broke down! I go to leave work yesterday and it wouldn't stay started. It would fire up (I put a new battery in it in June) but then it would choke out. Now mind you 15 minutes before I left work, I had to move my car so that the Dumpster Company could manuver their truck around in our parking area and it started right up and I moved it to another parking space. So imagine my surprise when I went to leave and it didn't stay started. So I spent the better part of last evening getting a tow truck to come get my car and take it to the shop and getting myself home from work (I work in Alabaster so it is about 38 miles to my house from my office.) My wonderful boss's wife gave me her car to use to get home and back to work this morning. (I must say I enjoyed driving the Lincoln) but all of this made me miss Awana (which I hate to do)
So as I'm writing this, I am trying to find the blessing in the situation - so here it goes.
1. I was at work, not on the highway when this happened.
2 When I walked into the Car Repair shop (which is right down the street from our office) to make arrangements for my car, the first thing I saw was a Bible Verse at their reception window, which gave me a peace they they wouldn't take advantage of me.
3. I didn't have to rent a car or have Terry come get me listen to his lecture about if I wouldn't drive my car so much it wouldn't break down. (I just got to hear that when I got home!) Barbara offered hers.
4. It was Courtney's turn to lead large group time in Awana, so I didn't have to worry that someone wasn't prepared for this when I couldn't show up.
So now, as I set here and began my work day, I am praying that NOTHING ELSE goes wrong or ya'll might have to lock me up in "Bryce's" because this girl is heading for a nervous breakdown!!!!

AGGGGH! So sorry. Life seems to work like this doesn't it.
PRaying for everything to get resolved quickly for you.
And Lana missed you last night :)
I missed her too! God is truly awesome! My car started right up this morning at the repair shop, and they kept it all day and couldn't find anything major wrong. They pulled the main computer and cleaned all the sensors and sent me on my way for under $100. Now if only the Septic Tank issue would be as easy (I have faith that it will!!!) and Jessica and Autumn are flying in on the 11th of September for a few days !!!!!!!!
Bless your heart, Valerie! Maybe there's a bad place on the starter. Did the repair shop look at that? I had that happen before, sometimes it would start and other times not.
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog today. I'll be in for Logan's baptism on the 21st. Be sure to swing by the 'family pew' and give me a hug!
Have a blessed weekend.
