So yesterday my car broke down, and I found myself stranded in the mall parking lot. I could easily look at this with a negative attitude, but I believe that God is always trying to bless me so here are the positives about having your car break down.
1. The super attractive Texas Roadhouse employee came to help us out.
2. It happened to break down right by the mall, so I was able to do a little bit of shopping.
3. It had been raining all day, but it wasn't raining when we were stranded in the mall parking lot.
4. I had just made it up to the top of a huge hill when it broke down. I know that God saved me by not letting my car break down until I was at the top of the hill, and in a safe place.
5. I still got all of my homework done that day, even though I lost a lot of time working on my car.
6. It won't be a very hard or expensive repair.
7. My car isn't parked at BYU right now, so I don't have to worry about all of their ridiculous parking rules (which is a discussion for another day.)
8. My wonderful roommates were so helpful to me.
9. My Dad came to help me out and I got to see him for the first time in two weeks! It was so good to be able to talk to him.
Sometimes bad things happen, but when you step back and look at the big picture, the you realize how incredibly blessed you are.
Another tender mercy that God has given me is wonderful roommates. I felt an unusual calm when I decided to come to BYU by myself because I just knew that God would take care of me, and that he had a plan for me. I know that my roommate, Megan, is the person I was supposed to room with. We are so similar and get along so well. My other roommates are wonderful too, and I know that we were all put together for specific reasons. God is always watching out for us. We just need to notice.
