He hears ya!

Yeah so the below applies. When i was away i had one day where everything just kept going wrong. Not big things, but you know when it's all those tiny little petty things? haha!

So firstly. I woke up feeling dry of God, you know, like he wasn't there, even though the day before i felt incredibly close (guess that's life you know, ups and downs) But i just was like oh well, i'm gonna push into God HARD, even if i don't feel anything, i know he's there, and he's been so good to me.

Then i was trying to lock the door, and probably stood there for like.. 10mins getting really flustered... only to find out i just needed to turn the key the other way. DUH. I said to myself 'Shrug if off, shrug it off, water off a ducks back!!' (haha. Man i love that saying.)

So off i went on the 5min drive down to the harbour to have my quiet time. Still was feeling dry.. but just prayed and read his word anyway... Got to the end of that, had had my ipod playing hooked up to the car sound system for the whole time.... (can you see whats coming??) I was a little bit disappointed i couldn't 'feel' God as much as i had the day before, but.. i figure, what is our faith worth if it's just based upon a feeling?

Got to the end of my quiet time, and turned the ignition.... only to hear that noise.. it was like 'puttputtputtputteeeeemmbbohhhkkk'.. 'ohhhh AWESOME!!! I've run the battery flat. no no no no no no no' i said to the steering wheel as if it was going to have compassion on me and turn the car on for me... then i was like 'umm God?? can you turn the car on?' my heart was like boooomboomboombooom. God didn't want to jump start the car through his holy spirit for me unfortunately.... so i got out of the car which was now just making a constant 'beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep' noise. I had to ask for help, hear that? i had to ask for help!! ahhh. In my pretty puff skirt and chucks i had to walk into a rough pub where a bunch of fisherman characters were outside having a good beer.. I edged up to the counter and explained myself...... Only to be pleasantly surprised with a friendly old guy who owned the pub. He looked at me funny and chuckled and with a sigh said 'i can help ya!' I think he thought i was a bit crazy, but wanted to help nevertheless! He was a sweetheart.

Within seconds he had the car going with his little jump starter kit thingy.... and i was like 'ohhh thanks so so much, so do i have to like run the car for a while now??' and he just looked at me with a blank expression on his face and nodded and said 'you're welcome' and then we went our separate ways. After that, i felt as though i had been zapped with life, zapped by God and just generally electrified by.. life! I was like 'wow thanks so much God, i needed that man!'

Only now i just realise... that old man at the pub, was .. an old man that didn't realise God was working right through him. God heard my prayers, and through the oddest of all events, he made himself known inside of me again. I have a deep reassurance with that 'feeling' or without, God is there and he hears us. He sees our silly little mistakes and chuckles and willingly goes 'i'll help!'
