God's Provision in Unusual Ways

This last week was kind of crazy.  We had planned a mini-vacation to Rapid City to visit some friends and family.  I took the week leading up to it to get things ready...namely laundry!  We were set to leave Thursday late afternoon once Hailey was done with school and drive part of the way and stay with Justin & Annette.  Earlier that morning, the school had a Cookies for Caregivers event for parents, grandparents, and other caregivers.  I had found a parking spot right by the grocery store and closer to the school, but didn't feel like taking a bunch of time to try to parallel park, so I went a little further and found a much easier place to park.  During this event, we were able to participate in Team Time (basically announcements and a fun exercise), reading time, have cookies, and help our child(ren) pick out their new book they get monthly thru the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) program at school.  After leaving, I walked to my van and found a completely flat tire on the rear passenger side!  This is where we see God's provision.  Had I parked in the spot closer to the school, I wouldn't have seen the flat tire because I would have approached the van from the driver's side, whereas the other spot I approached from the passenger side.  Thankfully, I was able to get a little air in the tire and drive the 5 blocks to get it fixed so we could still leave that afternoon for SD!  It ended up being a cut in the middle of the tire.

My completely flat tire!
