Power Outages!!

It's funny how God can take something like a few random power outages and help me out. Here's what I mean... I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed with work. All the long days and responsibilities have been kinda stressing me out lately. Well, yesterday I got to Maranatha and half the power was on. In the bookstore, the only thing that worked were the lights. No cash register or air conditioning (real nice on a day that got to the high 80s!). We barely had any customers and with nothing else to do, I basically got to read the whole time. It also was nice to leave a little early too! Well today, I was getting myself prepared to go to work at the daycare from 1-6. Then my phone rings and it is my coworker telling me that they were sending the kids home because there was no power! Since I don't have to be at Maranatha till 6:30 I've actually got a whole day to myself! So Philip and I run over to Target. Let me tell you... that can be kinda dangerous to me. The trip that was only going to cost me $10 at the most turned into a $55 trip. But hey, I couldn't pass up those clearance shoes, shirt, or shorts! :) It also turned out great that we ran into Laura, Jason and the boys there. So Laura and I got to do a little shopping together while all the boys played in the toys, then we all had lunch together at the food court. It was fun! Now it looks like I'm heading to the beach with some friends! I'm so excited! I haven't made it to the beach yet this summer and today has great beach weather!! Isn't it great that God saw I needed a break from work and he provided it?! He's good! :)
