TGIF right?? I dont know about that but I do know that every day is going to be what you make of it so I guess I better make it a good one right?

So I was driving to my friends house and this guy is constantly passing people and cutting them off trying to get ahead of traffic, the funny part was he had to pass me like 6 different times. He would pass me and get stuck behind someone else then pass me again, then get stuck at the light and so on... to me thats pretty funny and annoying at the same time. People don't realize that going 5-10 mph faster then the speed limit really only makes a difference if your traveling over 50 miles, and if your on the interstate or something but doing it to pass everyone at a distance of 5-20 miles is not going to get you there much faster, maybe by 1-5 min faster. Hello people calm down and enjoy life! I was thinking about that a little bit ago that the only reason you are going to be upset or sad is if you make yourself that way, really everyone is struggling in one way or another with this economy and either your going to make or not. That also depends on your mind, if you think your going to fail then you will make yourself fail but if you can just think I am going to be ok and I am going to make it through this then everything will be fine. Thats what I just said to myself like 10 min ago, I was thinking about some bills and work and bla bla bla that I just said "you know what? God is with me, I am going to make it one way or another like I always do so whats the problem?" I kind of have fallen short of God lately, it isnt something that I mean to do I just get so caught up in life that I forget the importance of giving Him praise and going to church to pray.
A few week or so ago this lady comes up to me (I forgot her name which makes me feel bad) and she saw me limping through Meijers, as she approached I had recalled seeing her a few times, once in my rear view mirror when I pulled into the parking lot I saw she was in the car behind me and she had parked near my car. Then as I was walking into the store there she was again, finally after the end of my purchase I walked back over to the pharmacy and I saw her walking out the door. As she was coming up to me I started to wonder what she was going to say or ask, did I do something wrong? Did I know her from somewhere? Is she going to ask me out? (that has happened to me a few times, I know its unusual for a woman to ask out a man but it happens.) She came up to me and very nicely started to tell me that she noticed me and the way I was walking and felt compelled to come up to me as if God was telling her that I needed someone to remind me that God still loves me and He can feel my pain. Of course she said more then that but that was the jist, after she talked to me she asked if she could pray for me, I said yes and we stood there in the middle of the parking lot and she prayed for me. It was a very happy and inspiring moment for me since I had been feeling really shitty at that moment and had also just got injections into my spine not more than 30 min prior, not only that it brought back a memory of when a girl did the same thing to me in High School. Her name was Jennifer and she came up to me to ask me if I believed in God and if I wanted to come with her to a church youth event, I agreed and had a great time with everyone there. It was a surprise to her that I told her I did believe in God and I already went to church, I guess I didnt come across to her as someone who did but then again I didnt know how I would make people think otherwise since I never picked on anyone or got in trouble alot.....well that besides the point, I did enjoy it then and when it happened again it just reminded me that God is always watching you and getting to you the things you need to continue through your life. I hope that other people get to have that feeling that I was able to participate in. Anyone else have a good story where God came in to save you?
