smoking....on the side of the road.

well today was an interesting day.

babysitting went good and then i went to the HS youth group.

guess who was leading worship....yeah.  not ideal.

it was good and i was really intimidated to be with other HS girls.

partially cause i look like one and so they probably don't see me as a leader.

i am still praying about it cause maybe it is a good kind of intimidation and good to be out of my comfort zone.  

then, on the way home from church, my car starts SMOKING like crazy from the hood.  and it won't accelerate.

i had NO clue what to do.  so i call mom and dad. and no one answers.

of course, the one time that i actually need someone.

no neighbors picked up.  no one. 

so i am thinking of people who are coming back from church since they will be heading that way.

so i call mitch.  cause who else was i to call!?

well, he of course, didn't pick up either.

and he was awkward tonight, btw.

so i call my oldest brother bobby {who is in columbus} cause i had no clue what to do!

so he tells me to get out of the car and my sister in law calls her parents, who willingly came to my rescue.

thank the Lord for in-law's parents!

mitch eventually called me back and had to take someone home so he was on his way, but i told him it was taken care of. 

well he called when i was on the way home and he was behind my car.

i'm glad he came but it was kinda embarrassing at the same time!

he asked if i needed to go with him to cool off the engine but i told him i was good.

talk about a humbling experience.

oh, and guess who was home the whole time?  my parents!

ugh!  at least it was kinda a fun adventure.

this morning i had coffee with brook and we had a great time.

talked for 2 hours and i had to cut the convo short to bbsit.

i can't wait to talk to her more soon!

now i'm just embarrassed and feel horrible that the car is a goner.

and as i txt mitch to say i'm sorry, he replies with a bunch of 'it's ok, friend!' and 'that's what friends are for' stuff.

ok ok...i'm getting the point.

oh and i got to talk to jane tonight. she is awesome.

and she has some boy excitement going on so it was fun to be filled in.

she is such an amazing woman of God and i really look forward to getting to know her more really really soon.

i really need a new car!  like, my own car.

i'm praying God provides a miracle.

especially since i am to house sit for a family in the next couple weeks. yikes!

no i'm off to bed.  long day ahead tomorrow!

we're half way through the week.  after tonight, such a bitter feeling. 

i don't want days to go on cause i have no car.  sad day.
