Fantastic, I can't even get the car to run. So I walk back inside and the thought hits me. SMACK! Hey, you saw a Wendys across the street from where we turn out, (maybe quarter of a mile away). Alrighty, well, we'll start with dinner. And I'll walk, I could use some exercise, it's a nice day. So I walk across and go into Wendy's and am feeling pretty hungry and have some 1 dollar bills. I figure anything I dont eat I could always save for later. So I ended up getting some 99 cent chicken nuggets, a chicken sandwhich, and 3 jr bacon cheeseburgers. I ended up giving the guy one extra dollar because two were stuck together. I walk outside and decide to eat on the grassy hill-side facing the highway. As I'm sitting there a thought pops into my head, one of those "Abram get out a piece of paper and write this down cause theres alot more following it" thoughts that God talks to me through. So as I'm sitting there God starts revealing part of his strategy for my life and whats been going on in my life that I don't understand and just have been trotting along trying to figure it out. So after that, I walk back across one street to get to the other side (haha) because I'm trying to go diagonally. But I walk accross one street without any problems in traffic and I see as I get to the other one they're going to be going so I'll have to wait. So I'm like ah, ok. I look up to see the Wallgreens sign. Ha. Perfect. I need deodorant. I start thinking dang God you really do provide. I get in there and down the first isle, deodorant. But what's this? The type of deodorant doesn't come there, no wait. It does. But this time it comes with a bonus pack of this new kind they're trying out. . . for the same price, 3.99. So I dig in my pocket on my way up and pull out 2 dollar bills and some change. Then I look in my wallet and find a dollar. . . flip through, and that extra dollar from Wendy's. So I had just the right amount of cash. (otherwise I would have just used debit, but it makes you feel good when you can use cash). So I walk outside and just as I get to the road it had turned red long enough that I could walk across 6 or 7 lanes of traffic without hesitating. I smile and just thanked God, then remembered what was in my hand. My two extra sandwhiches. . . lunch for tomorrow. I started out for food, deo, and lunch tomorrow. God provided food, deo + bonus pack, and lunch tomorrow. God's a cool guy. And as I finished this up, I just got invited to go play some sand beach volleyball outside at 8. and it's 3 til. God is good.

God Provides.
God never ceases to amaze me. Even in the little things, or maybe its especially in the little things. So tonight, we have our evening off sort of type of thing. So I had it planned out, when we got back from the office and studio I was going to run into walmart to get some stuff and grab a bite to eat. Really, all I could think of I needed from walmart was deodorant (the stick broke this morning, so i really needed it) and I wanted to get some food for lunch tomorrow, because I was a little tired of eating PB & J and knew if I continued, it wouldn't be good down the road. Hence, why I was going to get something to eat out tonight. I was digging some McD's or Wendys (something with a dollar menu, but preferably Wendys). So I figured I'd call up Thew and see if he wanted to go to, cause he sounded interested in getting some food, and I thought if he doesn't go then I'll call JR and talk to him on the way, because I was wanting to talk with him and show him some really cool stuff God showed me this morning. So I walk outside, get in the car, and call Thew. Thew responds with "oh, actually I'm just eating some food now." So I said thats fine and I start the car. . . . Yes, the bug. The one and only. It starts, but is making this weird rattling noise. After diagnosing it along with 6 other guys standing around the back of the bug (where the engine is) with our hands on our knees hunkered down to see the engine, we decided it was the fan smacking on something like it had came loose and was spinning cock-eyed.
