Answered Prayers and Blessings

I suppose you could call this a double answer to prayer -

I wanted to go home for Spring break. I really did. But I could find no one to ride with. Having no car, no ride, and no hope, I resigned to staying up here with a friend of mine, all the while telling people the only way I would be getting home is if they prayed I found a ride and God answered prayer.

I really didn't expect anything to happen. And that is precisely when, I imagine, God looked at me and said, "Oh ye of little faith!" and set to work.

I told my mother of my rideless plight, and she said that she and Dad could come up and get me. It's a long drive, but if they were willing, who was I to say no? So I rejoiced at getting a ride home. Then, a few days later, I learned a friend of mine had an extra seat in her mini-van and on top of it, she lives but 2 hours from my house! Double blessings! Not only are my parents spared a trip, but I get to ride home with friends and spend all break with family and friends!

Blessings! Blessings! Blessings! To add to it, I may possibly be able to get a ride even closer to home than that from my friend's house. YAY! Which would be even nicer for my parents. Considering Dad is still unemployed- every penny counts!

And then last night, on the way home from church, the van did a complete 180 in the middle of the road. The blessings included not hitting any trees, getting hopelessly stuck in the snow (albeit we had to get pushed out), and that no one hit us and we arrived back safe and sound after a short delay with no more difficulties.
