A Typical Day....

I love it when things are planned out and go smoothly.....don't you???
Earlier this week I planned on paying a couple of bills, do my housework , then go to my bible study.
It all started well...until I couldn't find the car keys...I looked everywhere! Then I remembered William used my car to bring the girls to school. I called him up and asked where he put the keys (the ONLY set of keys.....) He told me where to look at home, until he reached in his pocket..ARGH!!!!!
So I asked one of my children if he would give me a ride to the shop so I could retrieve my keys, but he wasn't feeling well. He said there's an extra car in the drive just use that....I did ask are you sure it's the key??? He just responded "try it" (if you're wondering why I don't know about cars in my own driveway... Bill buys cars for his business all the time and I never know what is new....actually old, but new to us).
Well, I grabbed the key and got in an old Toyota....so old it had wind up windows....but I digress...I put the key in and it started right up! I didn't waste too much time...just got a little (lot) aggravated, but was on my merry little way.
When I reached my destination I went in and paid my bill, got in the car put the key in and.......NOTHING!!! The key wouldn't start the motor no way, no how! I finally called Bill and explained the situation. I hate bothering him during the day as I know how busy he is! After I got done talking he said to me "those aren't the right car keys". WELL, what do you know????? Why would the car obey me once but not twice????!!!! Still don't know.... that car must have known I meant business this day!
Superman....ummmm I mean Bill, said he would come to my rescue so while I was waiting I decided to go walking! I must have walked a mile before he rescued me!
The good news was that he needed to drop off a car near Brookfield and then I gave him a ride back to Bilco (his shop) so I didn't feel too guilty for pulling him away from work! Things sure don't go the way you plan but we need to enjoy the journey!!!! I got to spend a couple extra precious minutes with Bill and we prayed together for some friends and just decided to give the day to God instead of MY plans!
The rest of the day became busy with unexpected delays, and yet everything that needed to be accomplished got done!!!!
John 5 30 says "  Without Him we can do nothing"!!!! God wants us to plan and have purpose, but then include  Him in everything!!!!!!!!Then we can proclaim Phil. 4:13 "I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength"
