Crazy morning…welcome to the real world

So it was Jared’s first day of work today. I know he worked for the church for the last year but I guess we both feel like he has a job for the first time in the “real” world. You know…8 to 5 every weekday rather than a scattered schedule. Anyway, it turned out to be quite a first day. We have one car that is currently working and we had it all figured out how we could do the car thing on his first day! I guess I should have known it wasn’t going to go well when I dropped him off late…oops (it was my fault). I drove the van back, went on a run, and then tried to go babysit and of course, the car wouldn’t start. Aaargh!!!! I called the mom and she dropped her daughter off. I didn’t know how I was going to go pick up Jared at lunch so he could take the car. While I was babysitting, the power went out and the alarm went off! It stared the little girl pretty bad. When it finally stopped raining, I took her out for a walk. Without any warning, it started storming again which freaked the little girl out again! WHEN IS THIS MORNING GOING TO BE OVER. I called a ton of people and none of them answered (trying to find someone to pick Jared up). Finally, the mom came and picked up her daughter and I went out to try to start the car! IT STARTED!!!! I went to pick up Jared so he could take the car and we tried to find a ride for me for work in the afternoon. Of course, Jared was my rescuer and found Dave to pick me up! Thanks again, Dave. All this, and I didn’t even end up going to work!

Moral of the story: Hmm…stop making plans (they usually don’t work out for Jared and me anyway!) he he! That’s a good moral but probably the best one is to not freak out because God’s in control!
