Flat tire

God is good! Even when things don't go my way. Tonight I was leaving the church after youth and had driven just about a 1/2 kilometer and one of the kids said that they left something behind at the church. I turned my van around and headed back to the church. I had to open the door and when I came back out of the church I noticed my tire going flat. Within moments it was flat.


I was so grateful that it happened where it did and when it did. It happened under the lighted canopy of our church and it happened while I was not driving the kids home. It could have been very unsafe if I had pulled out on to the highway with all the teens in it. I was sure to be positive and thankful for all He has done as I want our teens to see that you can be thankful to God no matter the good or the bad.


I really feel like it was God's timing for this to happen. Some of our teens have been talking lately about how if God doesn't answer your prayers in a specific time that maybe He doesn't care. I have tried to show them that God is not a spiritual good luck charm, but He is en ever present help in times of trouble. I am thankful that I could show them a good attitude in the midst of our trials.


I am convinced that I am blessed to have a vehicle. I am blessed if I can put gas in it. I am blessed to have friends that can help. I am glad that I can fix it tomorrow. I am glad... why? Because I serve an awesome God and I live in North America, that alone makes me one of the most blessed people in the world.
