God's humor in the form of a flat tire
So, tonight, the kids and I have dinner, and I just happened to get dishes done, and play with the kids, and still have time to go to church. I have felt like the Lord has wanted me to try the church around the corner here in Willamina. Until tonight I had not tried it, but I have been so hungry for God's Word, that I really desired to go. I also thought it would be good for the kids to get to meet some friends here in town. Well, we loaded up and on the drive to the church, (2 blocks) I noticed the van felt funny. I pulled in the parking lot, and a little boy about ten, pulls up on his skate board, and says, "Did you know that you have a flat tire?" I immediately thought, "That makes sense." Thinking about the way the van drove, and of course, since Scott is gone, you know, and I know no one here in town. :)
Well, doesn't God always set us up ;) I went to drop off Bailey at the baseball field where all the kids her age were, and I met the Children's church pastor, who I really liked right away. Then I took the kids to their room, and the woman was so sweet, and took such good care to make my little ones feel welcome. There were A LOT of kids in this church, which I loved! Then I sat through an awesome teaching by the Pastor. This is a tiny town. I've told you guys before, that there is like 2,ooo people here. But I am starting to really like our little town, and the people in this church all have little children, and we just felt like we were....home in this church. Then the funny thing is, I couldn't get out of there without meeting most of the people, because the Pastor had to fix my flat tire (Well, replace it with a donut) and through that I met the youth pastor, the children's church pastor, all their wives and kids, and some other people from the congregation. It's funny how God works. But all I can say is, I am thankful. It feels good to find a church that is two blocks away, that feels like home. Thank you, Lord for my flat tire, now please just let them be able to patch it up! :)
Scott may be coming home really soon, and he may not have to go to Virginia after all whawhoo! Thank you everyone for your prayers. They are never left unanswered....we either get a yes, no or a maybe, right?

What a story! Way to be obedient and get yourself to church...I guess if you get there, God will get you home...and not only that, but shower you with blessings along the way! Thanks so much for sharing this...it's blessed me this morning!
