Police,Ticket, Flat Tire, More, Same night = Stress

I thought that most of the stress from the past week trying to get up here was starting to fade, but a lot of it is still there. On top of that I got pulled over tonight (for a minor honest mistake) and was ticked $110 (not in my budget) for not having my car registration on me - I had it in the folder with all the other important documents for the boarder guards, and removed it from my car since it isn't wise to keep all that stuff in a car. I didn't even think that I'd need the registration. Anyways the cop also told me that my insurance card was 3+ months out of date and since I didn't have proof of insurance I can't legally drive my car here and they will have it towed. I told the cop that I could go back to church and get the documents I needed, and she agreed to that, praise God! It was a huge scramble and I felt really bad since I had to interrupt both my dad who was at a bible study at someone's house and Bryan, who was in a meeting to get the things I needed - the cop told me that I needed to bring these documents to the police station tonight (before 3am tomorrow). It was a really stressful and rushed experience. On my return to the police station, while I was on Bridgeport road, I hit a bump - that sounded more of like a land mine, that took out my tire. I had a lot of complications with changing the tire and it took close to an hour - even with Andrew Baxter's help - thank goodness he came. After I got out of all this I just wanted to head home, but I realized I needed gas. So I stopped at a gas station only to find they didn't have any diesel. So I drove to a gas station on my way home that I knew had diesel, but when I got there they were closed, as was the next station. Now I am nearly out of fuel, and I . .. . . Anyways, I am really stressed out and I'm starting to feel like I can't see right nor think right. And the night has been filled with more frustrations.

  2. Joshua, I want to share this Toby Mac song with you .. perhaps you know it, but I thought it might be a timely reminder. I hope the lyrics are an encouragement to "keep your head up, hold on, keep moving, it's not over yet, God isn't finished yet." Love you!
