God's protection

Recently, I have been having troubles with my car overheating. I am not sure whether the antifreeze is leaking or what, but that past couple of weeks it has overheated twice. Anyway, on my way to a show last night, my dad called and warned me to watch the temperature guage because it was so hot outside. I watched it all the way to Springfield, and it was fine. No worries. Well, it turns out that my youth minister and his wife came to see the show last night and they invited me to go to Steak and Shake afterwards with them. At first, I wasn't sure I was going to go because I knew that my parents get concerned with me driving home late at night and I was exhausted from being a camp counselor the past couple of days. Ashley (my ym's wife) said that they would follow me home, and she would even ride with me if I wanted her to. I decided to go with them. We had a great time and stayed there way too late. :) As we left for Taylorville, I wasn't even paying attention to the temperature guage and when we got to Rochester only 5 minutes after leaving, it was clear up into the "H" region. It started beeping at me to warn me, so I pulled off the of highway. Luckily, Andy knows quite a bit about cars and he helped me push it to the side of the road and checked it out. Unfortunately, there was no antifreeze whatsoever, so we had to leave there. Anyway, I rode home with them in there car, and my dad picked up my car this morning. All is well again. :) Anyway, last night as soon as this happened on the highway at 1:30 am. I realize how blessed I was to have the two of them with me. God definitely knew what he was doing last night. I have spent this entire summer driving back and forth to Springfield and I have never had someone follow me, but Ashley "just so happened" to offer and I took them up on it. Very cool stuff. I wrote in my last blog that it is scary to know that I am not in control, but it is times like these that make me feel so comforted to know that God IS in control.
