Car Trouble

So, on my way to Corpus Christi, my car breaks down. In the middle of nowhere, just after 5 pm on Friday. Yeah.

Thankfully, my coach is heading to Corpus, so he picks me up, and I rent a car to get back home (well, at least to the Austin airport). Another friend, Chris, takes me home from there.

Erika was gone (her grandfather passed away), so I was stuck at the house without a car. We had our Sunday gathering here, with a house and backyard full of good friends. Even with all the junk going on with the car, I never felt like I had no one to call on to help me.

So, yesterday, Brandon and I drove two and a half hours to pick up the car and towed it back here. Other friends have cooked me food, offered to let me borrow their car, and are also going to help me fix mine.

All that to say, even in the middle of pretty crappy circumstances, I'm reminded of how blessed I am to have the friends that I do.
