Something was really weighing heavy on my heart to go to church tonight. I've never found a church in my "adulthood," that I've fallen in love with besides one. I haven't been in a while as I've tried other churches and to be honest have been lazy in going to church. I'm not certain what was pulling at me so much to go but I came home from work, ate really quick, got some gas and I was on my way.
I was so excited to go and then realized that the church I was going to had construction all around it and couldn't figure out how to get there. I went into Quik Trip as the church is basically in the back yard and thought the clerks would know. I asked two clerks and they were clueless (didn't even realize there was a church behind them). The Third Clerk said that he thought you could go around a back way.
I was off on my journey to go the "back way," and you guessed all I saw were ROAD CLOSED signs and you couldn't get there. I tried to go through the road signs but turns out they aren't lying when it says road closed.
I just kept driving around thinking how I was going to get there. I went back to QT and had decided I would park there and walk to the church (a.k.a the back yard of QT that no one knew was a church). I walked through the wet water, and was thinking to myself...man my khaki pants are going to look terrible once I get to church after off-roading it! Then I saw the light,
Yep, CVS saved my day. There was in fact a road from CVS that would lead me only to the church when going through their parking lot. My Happy Honda drove right over to the church (gravel road, muddy, with lots of pot holes) and was hoping I would make it without getting stuck---especially since Anthony was at work and didn't figure my dad would want to come rescue me. Driving in, I thought, "Man, the devil has tried to stop me how many times with going to church tonight." Don't worry folks...Bodacious Beky made it to church despite the devil trying to get me down.
I've attached my favorite Christian song at that time that makes me think of many times the devil tries to get us down...
Check, check, check it out!!!!

The devil is in a lot of the details isn't he. He's a loser though and I'm glad you won this night!
