A funny thing happened the other day...(funny later but not at the time...what are those called by the way?) My hubby and I were supposed to pick up my daughter Kayla at the Burbank airport who was traveling back home from seeing her cousin, aunt and uncle and I had so missed very much and was so looking forward to getting her home...she had been gone for a month and I know you mothers know what Im talking about, even though she IS a teenager...we aremaking plans to go down early spend the day hanging out together with our youngest son. Well, that late morning (we were supposed to leave in about a half an hour or so) our car/truck decided to break down (maybe it didnt want to go to Burbank LOL) so we begin scrambling to figure out a way, which I immediately begin to panic (literally, I have been dealing with alot anxiety, but thats another story...called some friends, people werent home called a friend to see about getting it fixed but people are not available...made some other calls trying to figure out how to get down there, when suddenly I get an idea to call my dear friend Kari R (aka K-Peep...inside joke) whom very generously I might add without hesitation says she will drive me down there. I am releived..thank you Lord! The funny part is that not only did it give us a chance to chit chat which we havent gotten alot of time to lately and spend some quality time together...Kari's probably thinking "Get this girl out of my car!" LOL It taught me that God sometimes has detours for us that we cant understand or want to submit to when its frustraing to our plans and agendas and it also taught me that when in need I need to reach out and call on those who care about me...how many of us think to ourselves "Oh I'll just figure out a way on my own, I dont want to bother him/her, they are probably busy anyway" or figure they dont WANT to help, when the reality for the most part people WANT to help and we have to humble ourselves (which is a pride issue by the way) how many of us struggle with pride?? (You cant see me but im waving my hand) All in all, it worked out...and we even got to people watch...remember Kari the gal with the pink dress and cow boy boots! Yeee haaa!! :) Actually thats omething I like to do to see if I can figure out their "story" that is where they came from, where they are going, who they are as a person etc, just fun stuff ya know...Anyway it worked out (of course God is saying, "I planned it and when I plan it it always works out ...duh Lisa!") My daughter is home and already fighting with her brothers like ol' times....everything is as it should be, what more could I ask for :) God is good, and His plan is even better...by the way Kari R/K-Peep..a big THANK YOU for being sooooo generous ( you have no idea how generous she is unless u know her :) ) And thank you God for your perfect and unyielding plan to which I often amm frustrated but ultimately thankful for...may you continue to ever thwart my plans for your plan...You are God and I am NOT
