miracles DO exist

Have you ever just had one of the Horrible no good, very bad days? WELL today was that day. But don't worry- it all ends well.

It all starts at the Crack of Dawn- By the Crack of Dawn I mean it was precisely 7:57 AM when it all happened. At this point of my morning I was sitting on the side of the road, blocks away from work, in good ol' Rexburg Idaho with a very flat tire. Yes I panicked. I was supposed to be at work at 8 AM- What the heck was I supposed to do? Who do I call? Should I call someone?? Should I start walking? All the panic questions circled through my head.
Once I hung up the phone with work there was suddenly someone at my window... I cautiously rolled down my window with eagerness to see if the guy would actually help me.

"Can I help you?"
Oh My Heck. YES. I have a flat tire...
"I can see that, do you want help changing it?"
He looked like he was on his way to work, I didn't really want to bother the guy... So I simply said exactly that- it was then his response that calmed all my nerves.
"I actually don't have work until 9, I didn't know why I was leaving my house early, but here I am"

I was literally feet away from a parking lot, so I very slowly inched my way to park so the guy could help me put a spare on. He then went on to tell me that it would take a little time to temporary fix my tire. So to make a long story short the guy offered to take me to work and he would then fix my car and bring it to me at work. I said 'okay' and got in his car.

Reflecting back on this I probably shouldn't have gotten in a strangers car, I mean the guy could have been a serial killer!! And the worst part- I didn't even catch the guys' name. When he dropped me off I handed him my keys and said 'don't steal my car!' and rushed inside. I think sometimes I trust people way to easily, but on the other hand I somehow knew that everything was going to be okay. Yes I could have been murdered today, but here I am. The fact that he calmed my nerves simply tells me that He is a worthy Man of God, very in tune with the Holy Spirit. I couldn't have been more grateful for his willingness to help poor me. I mean I was really helpless...

Shortly after being at work for a solid 40 minutes the strange kind man appeared with my keys telling me my car was safely parked in the back. Wow. Yeah it was right then I realized everything could have gone the other way...

Now let me back track a couple of months... I was on my way to work- again at the Crack of Dawn- Instead of being blocks away from work I was right around the corner when I felt my tire hit something and blow out. SO really what made today a Horrible no good, very bad day was the fact that I had just gone through 2 tires in the last 3 months. #badluck
All I can say is that hopefully it doesn't happen again... for a long time... I mean I did just spend $500 getting my car fixed.

As I sit here writing and reflecting about everything that has happened in the last 12 hours I can't be anything but grateful. God is so good. I honestly have no idea what I would have done if that random guy didn't pull up behind me. His kindness alone shows me that there are caring people out there. Its that small act of kindness that allows me to trust random strangers.

Also. The funniest part about all of this - is that it would only happen in Rexburg. I mean if I lived in California I would be mugged, stranded on the side of the road with no car, and probably dead. What I'm really trying to say is that it is the little things that matter. That guy helped me wanting nothing in return. I seriously can't be more Grateful! I know I keep repeating myself, but how can I not? Miracles DO Exist. So often we hear of Miracles and how people are so grateful and bla bla bla. But really I don't think you truly understand until it happens to you. That bla bla bla suddenly becomes gratitude towards everything that has ever happened to you. And all is well in the end.
