Gas (for the car)
Last week I was suppose to meet Josh to get our passports. And I was running late. And wouldn't you know it, the gas light came on! This shouldn't have surprised me, I knew I was low on gas when I was out trying to escape from the car dealer ship the day before :) But at that point I just wanted to get home and figured I would just get gas the next day. So here I was running late to meet Josh and my gas light came on. And I really didn't have time to stop to get gas! And I had to drive a LONG way to get to the different places I had to go (OK not really a long way, but a lot longer than I normally drive around town). But I really didn't have time to stop to get gas. That is when I started to pray that I wouldn't run out of gas. And also wondering HOW many miles my car could go with the gas light on. I made it to the health department (to get my Birth Certificate) and the to the Passport Agency. When I was getting ready to leave, I asked Josh how many gallons of gas should be left in the car once the light came on. His answer reassured me that I should make it home... OK to a gas station. But I didn't want ANY gas station. I wanted to go to King Soopers for my gas. I had 30 cents off per gallon that would expire the next day that I wanted to use. Thankfully I was able to make it to the gas station. And in case you are wondering, I went 25 miles (at least) with the gas light on!
Little miracles ... we are always being watched out for.
