When I have the time GOD, just not now...

BE CAREFUL in what you say you'll do. coming home from work this morning 2am, I was enjoying the night air riding with the windows down talking with GOD, saying that I need more alone time with him,( thinking that when I get home). I travel the same road everyday to and from work, but today I felt as if the Lord was telling me to take another way home. a nice quiet back road where you can smell the wild flowers while driving and hear the wild life echo as you pass. WOW, thank you Lord this is great. then it happened just as I passed the darkest part of the road out in the middle of nowhere. the car just stopped running, I just came from the gas station the tank is full, why is it stopping?
 I just let it coast as far as it could hoping that I could get somewhere where there was light, praying that it would restart for me , but no luck. I could see a light in the distance and the road seemed pretty flat, so I got out and started pushing, all seemed good, that was until there must have been a slight incline because this car was getting harder to push. as the road where the light is was getting closer the road must have been getting higher. there was no shoulder on this road, so I couldn't just leave it. the car came to a stop again and I was wore out. I said a little prayer that the Lord would give me the strength that I needed to push this 85 Lincoln Towncar  up off the road, it was tough but the strength came, not an over powering strength but a steady paced stride. as I made it to the light I was able to get off the road enough that if someone came around the corner too fast , I would be out of harms way. by this time it was after 3am, I was able to get a hold of my insurance company and they had called a roll back. now I'm sitting there alone in the dark under a dimly lit light waiting. so now that I was waiting I asked the question that you might be thinking, Lord why did you bring me out on this back road , if you knew that I was going to break down?
His answer came so quickly, that I should have known what was going on from the get go.
 I had asked for more time to spend with Him, and He knew that if I was going to wait for when I had the extra time that it may never had come. so instead He gave the extra time to me, with this break down.
 while I was waiting we talked, and I praised and thanked Him for granting me the physical strength when I needed it, and for keeping me safe, and keeping me company in the darkest of night.
 Don't be careful in what you might ask for from the Lord because He will give you just what you need , and not anymore than what you can handle. when times look and feel tough that's the times He wants you to call on Him, and He WILL be there.
  if you don't know Jesus, and would like to know Him personally, feel free to drop me a line and I will come to you.
