I was hoping to take a road trip late this past summer when my vehicle transmission went south.. I was so disappointed cause I knew there was no way I could pay for the repairs and take a vacation.. My warranty papers said the warranty only covered to 80,000 miles and my vehicle was at 84.000. I was so mad! Well to make a long story short, upon further investigation, I discovered that because I had bought a used vehicle they had extended the mileage allowance on my warranty. Anyway as you can imagine I was THRILLED! And not just knowing my repairs would be covered and I could go on as planned... Just the thought that everything works together so perfectly. It felt, and still feels, like something God did especially to give me joy 
was a good reminder for me to not get mad about stuff to easily, too

Oh, whoops, in my haste I didn't actually post my story! It really is kind of silly, but it really did just kind of make me stop and think "wow, God, really?"
So for the past 10 months I've been sort of searching for a church. Been to a few, scoped out several online and listened to sermons etc. Well, God finally brought my attention to a church that I had quickly discounted several months back. I finally started attending the church as was welcomed warmly. The music was phenomenal and the pastor was insightful. I knew right away that I wanted to stay here. I was a little annoyed with the service time, as it was at 10:30, and I pretty regularly get up around 7:00. After showering and getting ready, this left me just enough time to do, well, nothing. I never really asked God, but just kind of in passing thought "man, I wish it was at a different time." Well, after going for a month now, they have received so many new attendee's that they had to start a second service. Whether God actually did it just for me, or not, it sure feels like it
