J: that's a really really good story

i hear my first alarm

5:30am

I hear my second alarm 5:35am

i hear my third alarm and think okay..i'll get up

6:35am

AHHHHH

I was supposed to leave at 6:15am to take bus to rockridge bart

so i freak out for a bit

and thankfully my subletter who drives to work offered the night before to drive me, but i said it's okay

so i woke her up and asked her to drive me

as i was getting ready and trying to call my boss

MY PHONE WOULDN'T WORK

it would start to call my boss and then stop

between getting ready in 2 minutes and going to my friends car

i called 10 times

NONE WENT THROUGH

I was like this is soo freaky

and I thought

like...what is God doing? or what is Satan doing?

(remember this is only my 2nd day of work hahaha)

and then i used my friends phone and it worked

i left a message with my boss

and then i tried calling my phone with hers

...it worked.

sooo weiirddd

so i was like what to do..my boss doesn't know i'll be late

but i just went to rockridge

I get up the stairs

and my CE friend Lisa is there

she's going to work too

and then my boss called me

so i thought she had received my message

but she hadn't

and it was hard to hear each other

but i told her i'd be late and i was sorry

so i got to talk to my friend lisa on the train ride there

and i get to Lafayette

and i'm only 2 MINUTES LATE

it was amazing

ONLY LATE TWO MINUTES!

That was God

and i don't think my boss knew about my message at all

....i think she's going to hear it later hahahaha

awwkwwarrdd

but what was cool is that when i was thinking about it

I feel like i could have just stopped trying to call her

I feel like God was trying to keep me from calling because I was going to be on time

my boss was only calling me to check where I was

and it was cool to see that God provided my friend lisa to distract me from worrying

b/c otherwise i'd have been worrying on the train

So today made me think about how God does preordain the things of our lives

or at least that HE IS IN CONTROL

:)

and that i should stop flailing around and freaking out
