Today I woke up excited. Excited because I was getting a part of the dash board in my car replaced. I was also excited because I was getting my stereo replaced as well. It was a long time coming....hummm, I would say about three months now that with out a stereo in my car and part of my dash board missing.
When it happened I was upset at first, and then I wanted to get mad but I said to myself it was not worth it. After all it is just a material thing and it eventually could be replaced. I remember it was about 10am on a Friday morning when I walked out to my car which was parked in the parking lot of my building. The sun was shining and the warmth of the breezes was comforting. I was happy that it was going to be a nice day even though the forecasters said that it would rain. I said out loud, what do they know, and they caught myself speaking out loud to myself. I looked around but there was no one there. I would have to pull something off quick to defend myself for talking out so loud to myself. I felt so stupid for a minute but I just shook my head and laughed. After all many other people talk to themselves...right?
I continued walking to my car and from afar it looked like my window was rolled down. I thought to myself, I did not leave my window down the night before when I parked my car. I questioned myself for a few minutes and then concluded, no I did not leave my window down. As I got closer, I realized that my driver side window was broken. I just shook my head and said why....are you serious. And then I looked at where my stereo was and it was gone. The thing is they didn't only take my stereo, they broke everything around the stereo to.
I wanted to get so upset and mad, but I had to keep it together. After all this stereo was not just any stereo it was a 7 inch Flat Screen HD Color Dvd Pioneer system. Ya, I know. It was gone. I called the police to report it stolen and then I called my beautiful wife to be. Even then I did not get mad, I was just sad and disappointed. Yet through all of this there was a feeling of peace that was over me. What I mean to say is that I could have shouted and said every bad word in the book to express how I was feel at that moment, but I felt the opposite. While I was talking to my girl I said to her, I'm gonna pray for the person or persons who broke into my car and stole my system. As I was saying that I started to laugh. She was like...what? I said, there was a cd left in the system, a Canton Jones album called Kingdom Business Part 2. So in my prayer I ask God to allow the people responsible for my car to hear this cd and allow it to change their lives some how.
Well, that is over and done and now I have music again, but no Canton Jones cd....lol. It's all good. God has been good to me and my family. All I can say is praise Him for all the wonderful things He has and continuing to do.
Just remember, no matter what situation you are going through, God is there and He is only a conversation away. Don't let the material things of this world keep you away from what is really important. Like that stereo...it was replaceable.
