A twist in my day

Well, my day today didn't exactly go as planned. I get the kids in the van this morning to drive one to school and the other to acting(they are doing a play for a middle school) and my van won't start. I quickly found two willing people to take my kids where they needed to go(God bless them) and phoned my Dad for a jump for my battery. He arrives, and yeah the van works!!!! I was so happy, but decided to drive to Wal-mart to buy jumper cables (in case this happens again) Oh - oh!!!! The van woulnd't start at Wal-mart AGAIN. So I phoned BCAA and proceed to wait at Wal-mart for 45 minutes. I sat outside on the bench and read my book waiting...waiting....waiting.....knowing I am supposed to be at my son's play to help out.....waiting....waiting....then comes the choice. Am I going to lose my peace and get upset, or am I going to determine to have a peaceful good day. As I was sitting there, I decided not to lose my peace. Bcaa shows up gets the van running again. I drive it to the mechanics ( where it wouldn't start again!!} and ask them to please fix it. They were very accomodating and said yes. So I continued to wait, and wait....waiting.....waiting (does this sound familiar!!), but I didn't lose my peace, I read my book, looked at new cars (FUN) and gazed at the sunshine. Four hours after this whole ordeal starts, I am done, and driving away to my son's play and able to pick up everyone after school. Somedays are just not what we planned, but life does happen and we always have a choice. Sometimes I have made the wrong choice and gotten all worked up so I was glad that I had pre-determined that at the beginning of the morning I would just stay in HIS peace. That's always the BEST choice for me!!
