Blessings

The other night after worship team practice we left the church, but Mike's car was stuck in the new 6 inches of snow and it wasn't going anywhere. So we turned around to go help him out. As we are pushing the car in the dark of night, and it isn't getting anywhere people are getting frustrating. We already were a half hour behind schedule we didn't have time for this. Josh, the drummer, needed to be at a basketball game, Andrea and I had homework to get done and Mike just wanted to get home. Finally after falling in the snow and my pants wet, as a team we finally got the car unstuck. YEAH!!! Now another 30 min. later we were in the car on our 25 min car ride home. We were cold but it was a learning experience. First of all I realized how working as a team is important. Mike could not have done it on his own. It took many ideas, many people and encouragement to get that car out of the snow. Secondly, Josh brought up the point that we at least have cars. People in Haiti would have taken getting stuck in snow for 30 min over a deadly earthquake. Even though it was not an ideal circumstance it put my life back in perspective, that I am blessed in MANY ways. I have a God who loves me no matter what, I have a car that works even though it isn't the newest. I have a place to sleep tonight, clothes to wear and healthy food to eat, friends who support and encourage me and I have the privilege to worship an amazing God who is always there for me when I fall down. Remember that You are BLESSED!!!
