Yesterday I was reminded once more that God is in control of everything. He is watching over us and we don't have to worry about anything but just continue to trust and obey Him.

We were on our way to Crossfield for Savannah's first competition as she
tries for the Crossfield Rodeo Queen. She was scheduled to take part in
a public speaking competition at the Rocky View Lodge. Savannah,
Breanna and Erika were each to speak for 5 minutes to a room full of
seniors on the topic of "Who I want to be when I grow up." But on our
way there. driving down the Deerfoot we actually ran out of gas!!
Savannah was freaking. She was going to miss the event. I told her to
calm down and not worry. She had asked me earlier to pray that we would
make it on time and I did. We started walking toward the off ramp. I
called Bev, the chair of the Rodeo Royalty Committee and told her our
situation.

About 15 minutes later, Rita, another committee member drove up beside us and asked if we wanted a ride! She was coming from work in Airdrie and was on her way to the competition and Bev had told her to watch out for us. So we got there in plenty of time and Savannah and the other girls did a great job.
I told the manager of the Rocky View Lodge (George) my situation and he was kind enough to wait until the end of the speeches to drive me to the van with a can full of gas. Turns out that George is a Christian and we had a great conversation about how God is in control of everything and all we need to do is listen and obey. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble."
