A Humbling Experience

So I had the most wonderful morning with God today. We talked and talked as I was working in Electronics. I prayed and worshiped and had an absolutely wonderful time. Since I was having such a great time, I decided to go out and spread God's love over lunch. I did not even stop at my computer to check my email, but instead just threw my ESD jacket on a shelf and practically ran out to my car. I initially did not know where I was going but decided to storm the gates of CVS Pharmacy in Macungie with the gospel! I did not let anything deter me and went straight there. Once there, I jumped out of the car with my spiritual antenna up, looking for anyone that I could pray for and share the gospel with. Then I got an idea, I wondered if I had any Bibles in my trunk that I could give away to any new converts. So I opened my trunk and pulled out a few, but then thought, "Why should I limit God? Why not grab ten!" So I grabbed ten Bibles and pulled out my keys to open my car door to put them in the front seat. But then I realized something... there was no car key with my other keys! I stuck my hand back in my pocket, but nothing was there. I looked on the ground around me, but nothing was there. Then I realized what had happened. My key is broken and sometimes falls off, and while I was getting the Bibles out of the trunk, my key fell off into the trunk, which was now closed and which I had no way to get into. Ugh. So I called Hannah to let her know what was up, then I called AAA to see if they had any suggestions. They told me that they could only get me into the car but not the trunk. Which did me no good. So then I called Hannah again and told here that my only option was to have her come rescue me. It had been more than a half an hour since lunch had begun and I was hot and annoyed and holding a pile of ten Bibles. The air was certainly out of my balloon. So I set the Bible on the roof of my car and prayed and thanked God for the humbling experience. Then I prayed for three nice folks and told them that God loved them. I also had a very refreshing short talk with a very old man who was also a Christian. Then Hannah rescued me. It was a good, but humbling lunch time :-).
