Have you ever been stuck in the mud before? What did you do, how did you get out, did things get worse before they got better? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve been stuck in the mud before but never LITERALLY stuck in the mud until yesterday. (Picture below) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I know some of you may be wondering how in the world did I do this? Sit back and let\u2019s go down memory lane together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It started at about 645 yesterday morning. I had woken up a few times during the night but did not get up until about 645 am. I had gone upstairs to do my morning routine and as I tip toed down the steps trying to avoid waking my mom up I noticed it was raining. My first thought was \u201cgreat moving in the room sure is fine!!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was already a little edge because my body was a little sore from assisting Micah, Emmanuel, and Rico the day before load the Uhaul. We\u2019ve never had much help, as a matter of fact it\u2019s normally Rico and I moving all of our things so to have Micah and Emmanuel join us was nice. It was a teachable moment and they got to show their mom and dad how \u201creal men\u201d work or so they say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time was of the essence and it seemed like everything kept us from getting to our destination on time. I had to have the uhaul back by 10am so I wouldn\u2019t be charged for an extra day but that surely did not happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see the day before while we were loading the vehicle or preparing our minds for the task ahead Rico had just received a call that one of his close friends had been gunned down and murdered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rico who normally holds his composure was heart broken, which is anyone\u2019s normal reaction, but he cried. Seeing him cry made me sad and all I could do was hold him and wipe the tears that ran down his cold cheek. He listened to his music and as he listened, he cried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A moment went by that the time stood still. I hugged him from behind and began to squeeze him ever so gently and then we danced. It had been so long since we danced so I held him and we just danced. It was beautiful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The moment ended and we got back to moving. Unfortunately we missed the storage unit by 8 minutes which brings us back to where I left off when I said time is off the essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So because it had been raining and the weight of the loaded truck, the tires got bogged down. I was devastated, I was helpless, I was sad, I was numb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rico tried everything he could to try and get the truck to go forward or move backwards. Nothing worked! He went for a morning \u201cpick me up\u201d and I sat in the truck praying and calling on the name of Jesus. I had just finished listening to a message where the scripture WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE was the key message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this situation I knew God and only God could get us out of this situation. After nervously telling my mom I was stuck and looking at the time (it was about 920) I knew there was no way possible I could get the uhual unloaded and back in time before 10am. So I did what any sensible person would do- I called Roadside Assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imperial Towing came out and saved the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I thought I would be relieved but I wasn\u2019t, I was still numb. I looked at my moms yard and I just held my head down. I didn\u2019t know how I could possibly fix this and I was worried that the uhual Bill just got really, really expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After it was all said and done Rico\u2019s cousin Mickey came to the rescue. While I was still in a state of shock he picked up where my brain left off. We got the things unloaded, Rico and Mickey took the truck to the car wash, we fueled up, and returned it back in one piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My feelings were hurt, my pockets were hurt when I got the final Bill BUT God rescued us. He showed us that with a little patience, prayer, and hope NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you don\u2019t get anything else from this message please remember do not drive a loaded uhual truck through wet grass- YOU WILL GET STUCK LIKE CHUCK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
