Everything happens for a reason

The other day I was driving to Utah with my family, we were
driving in two seperate cars. I was in front, my parents drving about 15
minutes behind me. As I was driving I saw someone on the side of the road, and
I knew they needed help, and I wished I could help, I felt like I needed to,
but I figured I couldn't really help them since I know virtually nothing about
cars. As I passed I saw their sign, and it said "oil?". That's when I
realized that I could have stopped to help because I did have motor oil in the
back of my car! It was a moment of guilt on my part, and I still wanted to help
them, but I had already passed them and had no way to turn around. So, I had
the thought to just pray that someone would stop and help them. A little bit
later my parents called me, wondering how far along on the road I was. Then
they told me where they were, and I realized that they were a lot further
behind me than they were before. I pointed this out to them, and they explained
to me that they stopped to help some people on the side of the road who needed
oil. I had the biggest grin on my face when they told me this, because it made
me SO happy! In that moment I learned that we DO need to follow the promptings
we get, even if the logic of them doesn't make sense to us, but I also learned
that God understands we mess up, and there's still a net there to catch us if
we fall. I fortunately got to see one of these "nets" he placed in my
life that day when I missed an opportunity to follow a SayGoBeDo. Rather than
making me think that I can mess up more often, this experince has motivated me
to always follow those promptings, because I don't want to miss it when I might
be the only answer to something. This is my challenge to you to ALWAYS follow
your SayGoBeDo's no matter how CRAZY it may sound in your head - it will make
all the difference when you do :)
