That's why I can't say no again
Today, I got off work at 5, was supposed to meet up with friends at 7. Because of the location of work, where we were meeting and my apartment, it was pointless to go home. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do during those 2 hours. I knew 45 minutes of it would be spent driving. I knew I’d have to stop to get sunscreen for tomorrow. But that leaves like an hour. While at the store, I had this wonderful idea - we were meeting at a Church, I could stop in their Adoration chapel and pray a little bit.
I knew this specific Church was sometimes locked up, and they had a little lock box thing so you could get in for Adoration, if you knew the code. So I texted a friend asking for the code. The Church was about a 20 minute drive from the store. Halfway there, I still hadn’t received a reply. So I started thinking of what I would do if it was locked. ‘I could just sit in my car with the windows down listening to music - yeah, that sounded good. You know, I think I might like that better.’ Immediately after having that last thought, I got the reply. I figured God must really want to talk to me.
Luckily, I didn’t need the code, it was open, and I was able to have some great Jesus time. Again, one of my better Adoration moments. I’m really glad I didn’t listen to that part of me that wanted to give up. I would have missed out on the best part of my day (no offense to those friends I spend the night hours with).
