Day 9 - Way 9

Needing your dad the day after he left for a foreign country would seem to some as a curse, but to me it was a blessing. I drove my moms car today because I had to go to work and the dentist and school. When I got to school I was an hour early for my class. I had some dinner in the car and so I left the radio on to entertain me while I ate. Before I went into class I tried to turn the car back on. It would not start. The battery was shot.

Rather than panic, I sent my best friend Beezer a text message asking her if she would be able to stop by the University some time tonight to jump start the car. She said yes, so I went to class. When class was over, Beezer met me at the car. We tried to jump start it, but it would not go. As I pondered in my head the many times my dad had rescued me in this situation and the fact that for the next two years he wouldn't be rescuing me, Beezer had another thought. She prayed. What exactly she said in her prayer, I don't know, but she went back over to my car, turned the key, and the car started.

I am grateful to my Heavenly Father who knows me as an individual daughter, and will rescue me when my dad is away serving Him. I am especially grateful that He has given me an inspired friend who will not ever let me down. She has stood by me through so much and I am eternally grateful for her friendship.
