I'm sorry to say it but, sometimes I doubt Gods' care for me. I know that I shouldn't but, there are times when I have so many things happen that I find myself angry. I have been experiencing those feelings lately and that is what I want to share now.
The transmission went out on my Buick. I can get around but it is kind of embarassing to not be able to put the car into reverse. Especialy embarassing when I forget and then park the car against a curb on a downhill slope and have to ask passersby for help pushing me out. I also have a Ford Taurus that I had to replace the computer on. It cost right around $400 to have that done and about a week later the engine threw a rod. But, I still managed to say "Blessed be the name of the Lord".
We did a concert this weekend in Emporia, KS. It is about 2 hours away from my home and we had to drag a trailer full of sound equipment all the way there and back. With all my bad luck with vehicles I was kind of dreading the trip and just knew something was going to break down. We got up there fine with no troubles and were about 35 miles from the location of our next concert and my Brother and Wife started saying, "What is that smell". I had been watching the gauges very closely and nothing had moved but, sure enough there was smoke billowing out from under the van. We got out of the van with cars going by at 70 Miles per hour, and we looked under the van and the oil was pouring out. I was devestated. I was angry that God would let this happen to me. I said "God what have I done"? We knew we needed to get down the road a couple of miles to the next rest area so I put in a quart of oil and headed down the road. When we got near the rest area I saw a traffic jam and wondered what was happening. Traffic jams aren't all that common on the turnpike so I knew something was wrong. We pulled into the rest area and could see a wreck that had just happend and somone had just gone to call 911. We looked under the van and guess what. Not one drop of oil was leaking!!! I was not sure what to think. Stephen told me "Maybe God was protecting us from this wreck". I broke down then and there. We stopped and the three of us prayed right there. I asked God to forgive me for my anger and my doubts about his love and care for me. I told him that he could have anything of mine and I was sorry.
We got down the road the rest of the 30 miles and again looked under the van and again not a drop of oil. God is so good and watched over us so well I just had to share this story with all of you. God has once again showed me his great care for me. I am thankful.
