Red Hot Week Continued

Hello everyone....now getting back to that strange last week I had... Yes it was an extremely hard week. In fact, it was one of the strangest weeks I have ever had and it has spilled over into this week... But what I had learned from all those trials and $600 or more later is that I was lucky my car died in Big O's parking lot because they we right there to help me jump start the car and take care of me. The man upstairs was definitely taking care of me. I could have been stranded just anywhere and been in real trouble! So that was a great blessing. Then I was warned not to go get the cell phone - the man upstairs  knew I did not loose it. It was in my purse all the time. But I did not know that, so I was trying to get off work and go get it.

The last customer I talked to on the phone that day took 45 minutes - I could not believe it. I could not get off the phone. Then I could not not get out of the parking lost due to all the construction. Everywhere I went it was a dead end. I finally had to go around the entire building to get out. By now I did not have time to get down to the cricket store. I went anyway and then I accidentally turned down the wrong street not to mention it was under construction. I could not believe it! What ever was going on I did not care I was going to beat it and get that darn cell phone if it killed me. I finally made it to the cricket store and they were closed. Now if you are paying attention you have probably figured out by now someone is trying to warn me or tell me something and that is why all the roadblocks were put in my way! I pounded on the door and the man came over and opened the door and said they were closed. I frantically pleaded with him to please let me in I needed a cell phone and I had had a hard time getting there etc etc.. So he thought it over and let me in. So after a few minutes of looking at all the cell phones I purchased one. Right after I paid the man, I pulled the old cell phone out of my purse. What a hard lesson to have to learn.The lesson is, I was being warned I hadn't lost my cell phone. But I did not heed the waning or listen to the still small voice. I kind of figured I should have waited but instead of listening I just pushed my way and forced my way (to do or die) to get the cell phone!! 

Next time I hope I realize to slow down and listen. Pay attention to what is going on and realize there is always tomorrow. If I would have done that I would not have bought that 2nd cell phone.....So stay tuned and we will discuss why the Lord chastens those that he loves......Beverly
