Praise the Lord, Again. :D

So, interesting story. I was in the car, waiting in the nice weather for my dad and brother to get out of school. During that time two things happened. The first:
I received, through a round about way and not really sure if I should go in detail, $100. And then about $45 from other sources.
So, in one day God provided $145. :)

And the next part:
Well, when Dad pulled into the parking lot after going to McDonalds to get him something to eat and me something to drink, he parked in the shade on the opposite side of the lot he usually parks at.
Well, the car next to us had a bumper sticker for a Christian radio station.

Eventually as I sat there alone God nudged me to place one of my business cards on her windshield.

I kind of fought it off, but began to plan out how to go about doing it. I decided I would write a letter explaining myself a little bit and that I figured she was a Christian and would pray for my missions trip.

Well, I finally went to the back of the car, got out a notebook, and began to jot down a letter. I then realized I didn't have a paperclip, so I begin looking around for something. Inside my dad's bookbag was a pad of post-it notes.

I got on, tore it in half (width wise) and attached my card to the letter(folded like a business letter). How I attached it was I folded a portion of it over the side of the letter and then connected the bottom of the sticky note to the paper, and then sort of folding the non-sticky part under the card as a pocket.

I went to the windshield and attached it.

As the time went on the wind blew hard. Really hard. I figured if God wanted me to put it on there, then he will protect it from the wind. I felt like Miriam and her mother putting Moses in the water. lol.

I eventually chided myself that constantly looking at it when a gust of wind blew was not trusting but was worrying. So I reclined and closed my eyes. (I was trying to take a nap in the nice weather.)

Well, I sat up a few minutes later and looked at the car and noticed the card was missing from the letter. I sighed and reclined again, figuring God didn't want the card attached.

I looked back again and noticed a little blue piece of paper attached to the tip of the hood. Upon closer inspection through my rear view mirror, I realized the folded portion of the post-it note was attached on the outside of the hood and the card was safe just inside the top of the hood.

The wind continued to blow, but the card stayed in place and the letter just rustled.

Eventually the lady who owned the car came to her vehicle and entered. She closed the door for only a short while before opening it again to get the letter off the wipers. (I'm reclining so I wouldn't look like a stalker).

I then heard her close the door again, start the engine, and then idle. I assumed she was reading the letter. A few minutes passed and she cut the engine and left her car and started for a campus college a parking lot up.(It houses the library, a couple of stories of classrooms, and the gym.)

I don't know where she went, but I doubt she just went to her car, turned it on for a few and then turned it off to enter the building as part of her routine.
