So last week was very very interesting. I think because I was able to meet with so many, and talk to some really amazing encouraging people, Satan was not happy, and tried to throw me off.
(warning, if you are a super animal lover, do not read the next paragraph)
Monday: it started out, I was driving and I hit a wood chuck! I have never hit anything before, and I felt so bad. I was driving and this animal was in the middle of the road, and it had no place to go, a truck on one side, and then me coming, and so it was running back and forth, and finally decided the best place to go would be to run under my tire! I was so shocked and surprised, I felt so bad for the poor thing.
The good thing is I saw 16 swans on our lake! They were so beautiful and majestic
Tuesday: I was getting ready to meet a lady from my church and I just finished blow drying my hair, I took a moment to just take in the storm blowing in, blowing the water creating waves going off the lake, my dad joined me at the window, just watching the storm. All of a sudden, in slow motion, I see the boat being blown by the wind, pulling the dock along with it, ripping the dock out of the water, and pulling the whole thing apart. I yell "oh my gosh the dock!!!!" and my dad couldn't see it where he was at, but just ran outside and started heading down. I ran, changed out of my nice clothes and joined him. We both got into the water, pulling pieces of the dock back onto shore so they wouldn't float/blow away. my dad tied up the boat and we got it pretty well settled. when I got inside, I realized I was going to be late for my appointment, and so I called, my friend said, "well at least you have a REALLY good excuse" :-)
Thursday: So I was headed to another support appointment on Thursday night. Praying as I was going that God would just give me words, and be working. As I am going along, I notice I am at the area where the road narrows down to one lane, and it's all construction, I see the construction sign telling me the road ahead is going to merge so I turn on my blinker and try to get over, but there is a car there, so I decided to get ahead to merge over. Just about this time, we come over the hill, and I realize the construction is all cleared up, and I don't want to cut the other guy off, so I stop trying to merge and straighten back out into my lane, but by this time, the guy behind me decided he was going to pass me and was already headed into the left lane(the lane I was in) to get around me since I was moving over, but now I realize he's trying to get by me, so I try to move out of his way to the right, but he is already trying to do that now. So I am just confused at where this guy is going, and I am just trying to get out of his way, well, he then decides to turn on his lights. It's a COP! he pulls me over, and I am thinking, ok, it's just a misunderstanding, no big deal, no need to get upset or anything. If anything, maybe I just didn't come to a complete stop at the blinking red back there, I don't know, I am pretty calm, not really worried.
So the guy comes up to my window, and asks me, so what was going on back there. I start to try to explain, but my body defies me and I start to get a little choked up anyway (even though, it's a completely non-threatening situation), I tell him, sorry, for getting choked up, I try to take a breath to calm myself down, and while I am taking my breath, he starts yelling at me. Telling me I have issues with Road rage, it's bad enough that I am doing that to a cop, I shouldn't be driving that way with regular people (I had no idea he had been a cop when he was behind me, b/c it was so dark) and he just keeps going on and on reaming me out, yelling at me telling me how bad a driver I am and how bad a person I am, and so I start SOBBING I mean I don't do very well when people are accusing me of something, that I didn't intentionally do! I couldn't even get a word in! Finally, I did get a chance to say something, and asked if I could, he said " you better explain yourself" so I tried to tell him about the construction sign, and then he went on and on about how the construction wasn't there any more, and was yelling and accusing me some more. I finally said "well I realized the construction was gone, after we got to the top of the hill" inbetween sobs of course. so then he asks if I am from the area, I say yes, he asks what my record is like, I say I've never been pulled over before, and he takes my liscense and stuff, and says he'll be back in a moment.
I just sit there praying, trying to calm down. b/c I know I have to meet some people and my face is going to be all red and puffy, so I try to calm down.
Then the guy comes back, and very nice, sweet, calm voice he says "well I'm just going to give you a verbal warning for now, drive home safely, and just becareful when your driving from now on"
I couldn't believe it!!!! the only thing I can think of that changed his whole demeanor is that he looked at my record, and there is NOTHING on it! the only thing might be a parking ticket at MSU, but that would be it. No accidents, no nothing! so later I thinking, maybe THIS guy has problems with road rage.... I don't know.... maybe I could win a prize for best story about a support appointment. :-)
Friday: I get a letter in the mail, saying I have been picked for Jury Duty! I can't believe it! I am just so crazy busy now, and in the middle of raising support, and all sorts of stuff.... and Jury Duty.... oh well, hopefully I won't get picked.
So my conclusion is that Satan is not happy that I am doing well, and I am in the word, and just overall, happy about how things are going right now, even though the economy sucks, God is taking care of me.
So yeah, that's a little about how my week went
