God is good

I set out yesterday to Bakersfield to take Christmas presents to my roommate and my friend Jenny and her son Kameron. About half way home I realized my house key wasn't attached to my keys. No big deal I thought, Jenny and Dereem both have keys to the condo. Then I remembered I put them in my purse when the mechanic had my car. While digging for them I realized I forgot my wallet at my parents. Here I am on the 5 no ID, no money, no credit cards, with I'm hoping enough gas to make it to Bakersfield which is a better shot than turning around for my wallet because I am already more than half way.




Well, I made it all the way home at which point I had devised a plan. I keep my passport in my travel themed bathroom, so there is photo ID. And I keep my extra checks in my condo. I wrote a check for cash and headed to the bank. My plan worked and I was able to make it to the bank and the gas station before the idiot light went off on my gas gauge. In the midst of all of this it was raining and at one point you were able to see a full arched rainbow across the sky. It was beautiful and a wonderful reminder of how good God is.
