He keeps doing stuff like providing for me. I thought I would never be able to go to college. So when I signed up for Life Pacific, I wasn’t even remotely sure how I would pay for it. After filling out all my financial aid paperwork and even getting a few scholarships I crossed my fingers. Then one day I got a letter in the mail that itemized all the aid I qualified for and everything was paid for. I got the maximum amount of financial aid, and the rest was covered by my scholarships.
Since then, he has done it again.
My grandmother sent me a check in the mail the other day. She was worried about me because I hadn’t found a summer job yet. I have since found a job, but when the check came I thought I might be able to get away with not using it. I didn’t want to use her money if I didn’t need to.
Then I wrecked my car.
I hit this piece of metal on the freeway. It seemed like it came out of nowhere. It probably fell off of a truck, but I never saw which one. So I hit it with my front driver side wheel. It bent the wheel, tore apart the tire, and bent the bumper and wheel well guard. I pulled to the side of the freeway and no one was hurt, but I thought I had seriously damaged my car. The check my grandma had sent me a few days before was for 200 dollars. Guess how much the repairs to my car cost.197 dollars.
So I maintain this sneaking suspicion that there may be a God. I do not want to suggest that he micromanages our lives and has everything worked out. People make mistakes, tragedies happen, and God doesn’t seem to be there. I do not have an answer for that. Still, if there is really a God, I think he might care about me. I could be wrong… but maybe I am right. Maybe there is a God… and maybe he cares about me… Have you ever had similar experiences? Am I crazy? What if I am right?
