God works in holy ways :)

Sooo this is a very random story....but it has a fun pun so thought i'd share..

Yesterday was visitation that the kids get to have with their families once a month in the city. So we loaded up all the vans and headed to the city for visitation...and i went with a bag for the weekend, as some of my city friends had invited me to stay at their place for the night, so i didn't have to come back to the ranch saturday night, and back in again to the city on Sunday. So, i was all packed to stay for the night. Well, i was sitting at visitation with 2 house moms, and was holding one of our cute as a pumpkin new baby's (david). Well, the bench i was sitting on isn't your typical wood or metal bench...it had a casing and then wire that you sat on. As i went to get up, i heard a big RRRRIIIIPPP . And immediately sat back down, knowing fully that something had just ripped in my jeans......my favorite jeans (the metal casing around the bench had caught my jeans just perfectly and didn't want to let them go!). I handed the baby off to someone else, and felt the hole, that i had now clear in the backside of my favorite jeans!! One of the house mom's....who doesn't speak a lick of english...but could tell from the sticky situation i was in, that i would need her jacket....so i took her jacket...and tied it around my waste. Thankfully...i had my weekend bag, and a change of clothes (that was supposed to be for sunday).

Well, now i was changed....and not so hole-y. But now my predicament was what i would wear for Sunday....oh well....just a good excuse to go shopping right?!? :) Well, it actually ended up that it didn't work out for me to spend the night at my friends house because of many reasons....

.....So my theory on how God works in hole-y ways....is that God knew beforehand that it wouldn't work out for me to stay in the city overnight...but he ALSO knew that I would need an extra set of pants that day :)


Hope you all are doing great....and enjoyed a laugh with me as God played a little joke on me yesterday :)
