I had one of those mornings when I thought I was a total rock star. I got up at 3am, I rolled out of my house with Minnie in tow by 3:30. We were off. We were going to Dallas to take pictures at a event to raise money to find a cure for Clara, I was so excited! I had already put my location into my GPS the night before all I had to do was turn it on and roll out of the driveway. I drove for 3 and a half hours …. I was so excited ! I was going to be 15 min early!!! I would be able to put my makeup on and go potty. I look around the sun is just now shining and the GPS says “your destination is on your right”….. LIES!!!!! I went the wrong way… I can’t even tell you, I was next to a farm, on a dirt road, in the middle of west Texas. I am not kidding!! I just drove for three and a half hours not even knowing I was going the WRONG WAY…. When I figured out that I was not a … hum.. Rock star, I was 4 hours from my the intended location. I was ready to give up. I turned around, stopped the car, and called Josh. He laughed then gave me awesome husband advice, keep going, make something of you day. And I did… I kept going even though I had four more hours to drive…Can you believe it! Texas is so big… I really thought I was going the “back way” I am still shaking my head!
I am so glad I kept on keeping on. I got to be apart of something AMAZING and Minnie got to meet some of her prayer warriors. The day was so special. The Lord always has us in the hospital at the right time. Each time we have an opportunity to share his love, grace, mercy. It never fails that we meet someone that changes us forever. Clara’s family are pieces of our Scottish Rite Family. We spent months learning, loving, crying, together. I learned that you do need someone to hold your hand. Stacy held mine! And her family became voices through my blog that encouraged me with every post I made. They became some of Minnie’s prayer warriors. Thank you all.
This event to raise money to find a cure for Clara was so amazing! Stacy you inspire me to be awesome!
Everytime I hear a GPS story, I think of God. He has GPS for us, we think we are going along just fine, then we make a wrong turn. We call him and He re-calculates our path and makes something of us.
Super sorry you went the wrong way…… My hope is you still put on your makeup:)
Good Morning Rach I’m very happy you got to your friends even if it took looooonyer then you plan, Texas has a way of seeming bigger then it really is, we use to have a saying when we would go to grandma Prough’s she lived in Kanasas ( the sun has rose and set and here we are Texas yet) You’re Bless me.
