self portrait tuesday

highschool graduation

i have to relay this story as well... my car has been acting funny for a month now and i was just waiting to get a paycheck to take it into the garage... i was pretty sure it was spark plug related... anyway... yesterday i got up early so i could take it there and it was driving worse than ever... so i was just praying to get to the shop, which is only like 2 miles away... of course the car died right in the middle of a huge intersection... and the people of miami, showing their true miami spirit, just layed on their horns because i was blocking the way... i sat there for a good 15 minutes, trying to figure out what to do or who to call because nobody would stop to just help me push it out of the way... every time i dialed 411 for the shop number, i got a different number... apparently there are hundreds of dixie auto cares in miami... so all the while i'm praying to God to help me cuz i was freaking out... finally, i see a tow truck and flag him and he sees me and turns toward me and then pulls over and i thought he was going to help me and right after this a girl with a little baby in the back seat stops and offers to help me push the car out of the way... so she pulls around the corner and sees another tow truck and flags him and then i see him and flag him and he turns the corner too... in the meantime, the other tow truck is now coming toward me, but he keeps going! i couldn't believe it... so now i am anxiously waiting for the other tow truck... he finally approaches and stops to help me, praise the Lord! he hooks up the car and i get in the truck and tell him thank you very much and he says to me, "i saw that other tow truck and i figured he got you and i was about to drive off when something told me i should turn around and make sure... i'm from ft lauderdale and i usually don't come down here, it must have been God telling me to come this way." !!! amazing grace!
anyway...
