Wow, well, today was a crazy, eventful day. I love my days off work. Ben and I woke up this morning and relaxed for a while and then went out to eat Chinese food. It was very, very good! It was the first time we have had Chinese food since we moved here from Pennsylvania. They had a great variety. Then we walked around a Bealls outlet store and a Party City and a Dollar Tree. We stayed full most of the day. I also played with the kittens a lot today and dipped them in some water for the first time since they were born. It was a few centimeters of water, just enough to get their feet wet. Well, anyway, Ben and I got into a conversation today about how God can intervene in your life, even in emergencies. Last year, Ben and I were coming home from a long day at work and we were taking a back highway home. Well, something told me to stop...and stop I did! Right in the middle of the road (there were no cars around.) Ben was freaking out and asked why I did it and I told him, truthfully, that I wasn't sure. Well, about a quarter mile after we started driving again, we saw a deer jump right out into the road. We had enough time to stop and allow a safe space cushion between our car and the deer. If I hadn't stopped, the deer would have jumped out right in front of our car. The rest of the way home, we had chills. Today, we got out of the car after all of our running around for the day and I am came inside and started putting groceries away. Ben didn't come back in until a minute or so after I came in. He had a feeling to check the car out and he found out that our back doors were unlocked. I have no idea how long they were unlocked for, but Ben had the initiative to check (thank God). We live in a not-so-great neighborhood where we are very much the minority, and the people here tend to get drunk and rowdy. Just had me thinking about how great God truly is!
