Flat tires
Yesterday was a wild day. I didn't get much sleep and felt like crap all day, but it was a good day. I went up to Maryland to hang with my Dad some before he left to go to Africa.
At lunch time I was craving some Taco Bell(there are none in philly) So I did just that and got some. I pulled into the Mars super marked parking lot which was pretty much empty. I was doing my thang, eatin my food. Then some lady came up to my window and asked if I knew how to change tires. I said yes. (i will sum up the story now so it doesn't drag on) While I was changing her tire we were talking. I said I was in philly getting ready to go to school and that I had done 3 years of mission work prior to reentering school. She then started talking about this message she was listening to on the radio about how your home is also your mission field. So we talked some about that and i threw in my thoughts on the subject. It was awesome cause all the things i said she would just sit there and shake her head and say "Wow, I really needed to hear that word. Wow"
My thought was, wow crazy. cause there where other things i would want to say, but For some reason i wouldn't or the words wouldn't really come out.
. After I was done changing her tire, she said "We should pray together!"
I was like "sure I'm down"
So we were standing in this parking lot holding hands praying. Kinda funny to me. It was good though. Its always refreshing to have those moments of knowing you were used by God.
