The benefits of having friends of God in your life.
This morning I woke up with a flat tire. I had recently purchased this tire Tuesday. And since then I had to keep putting air in it. I went to the tire shop where I purchased it from b/c they guarantee 1 year. They took the tire off and BOOM! There's a nail in it. This makes the 5th or 6th time in the year I have gotten a nail in my tires. I was so frustrated and upset because I truly believe my neighbors are doing it. I was texting my friend Angela how frustrated I was about this. But then immediately corrected myself and said that I need to stop complaining and thank God I have enough money to replace it.

I told them to move forward with putting the tire on. When they finished, I stood up asking how much is it. The guy said, "Nothing. The boss said you're good." I paused and stared at the guy and said, "Seriously??" He said yes. I thanked him but asked where was the boss.
I went to the boss and said, "Thank you."
He said, "You're welcome."
I said, "I'll be back."
Him: "I know you will."
Me: "I'll tell all my friends about you."

I got in the car and called my friend Angela. I told her how I believe if I never corrected myself and thanked God I don't think I would have received the blessing. She said, "Yeah, girl I wasn't worried about. I said, 'she'll be aight', said a prayer, and went back reading my bible." I laughed and said, "We were touching and agreeing and we ain't even know it." LOL
God is real. And His people are real, too. Try Him. Surround yourself with people of Him.
Below is the picture of my friend who prayed for me. I am so grateful to have her in my life. It's important to have friends but SO important to have friends of God.
(And excuse our pose. This was during my birthday weekend and she just HAD to be photogenic..lol.)
