This was DEFINITELY blog worthy!!!!!!

Ok so this is the story of Sunday February 24th of the year 2008.

3:30 Keilan, Phillip, Zach, Michele, Kristen, and me leave the church to go down to Aletheia (church in richmond va, on the VCU campus)

Zach was driving Phillip's car with Keilan in it (Car 1); Phillip was driving the girls in Keilan's car(Car 2). Car 2 has to take a slight detour and drop of Brittany at home, when we get on interstate (at about 3:50) all is well.

( i was gonna timeline it for you but thats boring, ill just tell you)

ok so then we get a phone call from Keilan and he is telling us that Phillips engine has blown up(ie, it is smokin black and sounding not so good) so they are pulled over at the side of the road about 10 miles past the fredericksburg exit. to be exact they are at the 121 mile marker on 95. at first before we got there we were thinking that keilan was just jokin cause 1. he was rather calm on the phone, 2. i know zach and he jokes alot well they were not joking. we passed them and tried to slow down and we pulled over but ended up haveing to back up a little. ne who phillip gets out to see if its fix able so we can move on. it isnt, so keilan and Zach get in Car 2 (ie, keilans car) and we proceed to aletheia and phillip gets his car towed. (stay tuned for the rest of that part)

ok so then we are driving and we are about to get off the exit to go to aletheia and keilan notices this lady is guesturing to him and makin wierd faces and im in the front and we are tryin to figure out what she could be pointing at him for, and no sooner had the words "maybe we have a flat"(i was totally just thinkin, what are the odds!?!?!) so no sooner had the words left my mouth did he realize that we indeed had a flat....
ok so we get off the ramp, now the whole car realizes whats up, so its on my side, we are at a stop light, im asked to look out the car door and acess the damage, and as im still out the door half way i feel the car move and then i see keilans brand new ibook Mac computer fall off my lap and onto the ground as i am still out the door and i try to grab it but dont get ahold of it as i am trying to keep my balance and im like yellin "keilan STOP, keilan, the MAC keilan your MAC has fallen out of the car...KEILAN STOP" and so he stops and is like what, and i jump out the car and get the mac, but it was too late, the car had gone over it. and i then let him know that there was no way that he would make it to aletheia on the tire, so we pull over in an empty parking lot and the story doesnt end there. we all get out and well, keilan had lent his jack to a friend and hadnt gotten it back from him yet and so we couldnt raise the car and we couldnt get the spare from underneath the car cause there is the key to that is with the jack that we didnt have..
so he calls the aletheia ppl and Jordan (an aletheia friend) comes and he has a jack but its for a car that is smaller then keilans blazer tazer so it doesnt work so well but he does have something to get the spare from under the car so we get the spare out and we lift car with the jack as much as we could and we got the old tire off......

WELL the spare is flat. so jordan doesnt have room in his car to take us all to aletheia so Josh, (another friend/the preacher person of aletheia) shows up to get us and to help out. so we all pile in the cars with the spare in jordans car, then jordan and keilan have to stay at the church for the band practice, so us girls stay at the church and zack and josh (as far as i know) they go get the tire filled and go back to the car....

while michele kristen and i are at the church telling our story a bunch of times and talkin with ppl and keilan is at band practice, this next part is what was goin on....

ok so the spare, it was just as bad as the tire that had flattened on us, and when we had left phillip on 95 he had called for a tow truck and then called his mom (who was in a meeting at the church and probably freaked everyone out when she proptly told them phillips car had blown up and she had to leave) so his mom came and got him and they followed the tow truck guy to where they had to go and then they decided to just head to aletheia.
so again, the flat and spare are no good. while they had been workin on it phillip and ms cynthia see them when they get off the exit, and some how they get keilans car over to this other random spot. so they get to church just as the worship is ending and the service is about to start.
meanwhile i had been kinda freakin out because i didnt know where zach was, i didnt know that phillip and ms cynthia had come and had him, and i couldnt focus in worship till i just called phillip, thinkin he was back in stafford, and i really didnt know how in the hey i was gonna get ahold of zach...oh and phillips engine was cracked, and not drivable anymore...
so after service it was decided that the girls and zach would ride back home with ms cynthia and phillip and keilan would spend the night in richmond and get keilans car and computer details worked out the next morning and buy phillip a new car while they were out...

yeah, that was our day!!!!!! it was crazy...

did i mention that the bulk of that happened with in an hour... if you read that whole thing then bless your heart. your awesome!

just goes to show that satan just did not want something to happen tonight that God had planned! but he is nothing compared to God and God will crush him like a bug!

Consider me blessed...I just read it all! I learned the highlights from Bill after Cynthia called last night, though I still appreciated all the details in "Becky speak." :-)
