i decited that today was a good day to get a couple of new tires for my car so after school i shimmyed on down to pep boys and was getting everything arranged with the sales rep...

we went outside to look at my tires to confirm a few questions he had concerning the current condition and wear of the old tires to decide weither or not i needed an alignment as well. he pointed out to me, judging by the inside track wear of the right tire, i would probably need an alignment. then we went over to check on the left tire, the drivers side, and after just a slight glance, he exlaimed "oh yeah... you REALLY need some new tires..." and he pointed out to me the top of the tire where there was a huge chunck missing leaving the mesh of wires on the inside of the tire exposed. he told me i was asking for a blow-out and was lucky i hadnt had one already.

imidiatly (sp?) my mind flashed back to saturday morning as i was on my way into town for work and i felt something hit and bump the underneith of my car... my heart pounded and my eyes got wide with suprise as i glanced at the rear view mirror to see what i might have hit. nothing was back there so i kept going, oblivious as to the state of my tires.

so, after work that evening my friend i drove my car down mooney to lowes to look at some wood for painting on. then all the way back down to main to drop him off. the next morning, i drove into town for work and back home and then, again, i drove into town this morning to school completly unaware of the fact that i could have a blow out disaster at any time.

the point of my story is that God is awesome and faithful and ever watchful of his precious children. i could have been in a dangerous disaster, and i had no clue as to what was going on, but Jesus had my back. i really was amazed when i saw that chunk out my tire and heard that guy telling me about the possible blow out i could have had. Jesus is good...

peace...
