God still works in miracles

Leah here folks.
I'm sharing this blog with Drew to keep things less complicated. So I have a little story to tell.
You all know about the passport crisis in the usa that has people diving for the lines at the passport offices two days before they leave for vacation. I had tried to be oh so smart about it and applied for mine at least four months in advanced. Well July comes rolling around and I still don't have mine. Now I know like a good little girl should that I need to be relying on God for everything but it got really hard knowing my time was almost up. So I decided to take matters into my OWN hands. God really has a sense of good humor. We took the day off and went to Washington D.C. We walked strait to the Passport office got in line and even got to the doors to get in. But we where promptly told we could NOT get my passport and I would have to come back at a later time. So like in good girl fashion I burst into tears. I told drew I would be lying if I wasn't disappointed. I was leaving in three weeks and no passport. We sat down in front of the Library of congress and I just prayed to God. I knew I had been controlling and now I had nothing.

The next day I was still asleep when a loud banging came from the front door. I ran down stairs in my hideous PJs and ripped open the door. FED EX had a package for me! When I opened it and shook out the contents, out fell my brand new passport! See! God has a sense of humor! Isn't he wonderful?

Too funny! :-) I am waiting on my passport, too...I still have a couple months, but I want it NOW! Maybe God is trying to teach me something, huh???
