Snow

It has been snowing all day today this Saturday. Yeah or nay? Honestly there is so much snow I kind of freak out thinking about how difficult it will be to use the snowblower tomorrow morning. Anyway, it's all in the Lord's hands.

Trip to the Bank

I have long since forsaken what I might consider risky behavior here in Newark, in that where wisdom seems obvious in maintaining my safety, but it appears even now that when we are trusting the Lord and being led by Him, what are ordinarily lines considered black and white seem to vanish. I am not speaking of morality but what might define us traditionally, for example the reason I am writing this, which had me giggling that it actually worked.

Low in my checking account, I know no one else experiences this, I wanted to make a cash deposit for peace of mind, and being that Newark is my home, I knew of only two ATM's not too far but only one has a drive through. Being that it is night, I was inclined to go to the one with the drive through which is a little bit farther than the one without one.

I make my trip to find that all the ATM's at the bank are not taking cash deposits and so I'm left having to choose another bank. Leaving my phone at home so as not to risk losing it in a potential robbery, I know I can be super cautious sometimes, I am left without tech to find the closest branch.

However, I then ask the Lord to lead me and soon find myself inclined to follow a few blinkers. I know, this is not ordinary behavior but I believe in my God, that He can use such "signs" if he so desires. Well I tell after a short little drive I was led to a new ATM, one that I have never seen before and one I would not have found had I not been inclined to follow certain blinkers. It was actually extremely efficient. One catch though, I was still in Newark and this was an ATM on the street all exposed. When I first saw the ATM I kind of danced in my heart, but then I soon found myself uttering the words, "You want me to do what Lord?" Haha.

I scout out the location as I am at a light ready to turn and decide, I can do this, just to the ATM and back. Pulling up to the curb relatively close to the ATM I jump out looking as tough as I can and make a deposit attempt at the first ATM. Cash deposits currently not accepted.

What?! You have got to be kidding me! Lord???

Second ATM, success.

I breath a sign of relief as I take off in my car, and as I said before, giggling over what all just happened.

Whoever said it wasn't fun to serve the Lord?
