When it rains it pours...

We were on our way to church this morning and what to my wondering eyes do appear but the check engine light. Well, if you know me at all, you know I don't take warning lights appearing in my car lightly. A trek down to church is about 30 minutes and not knowing what is wrong with my car is taking a chance down an unknown, possibly unwelcome road. We thought it might be that I have low oil since I have an oil leak...probably due to hitting a giant log and carrying it with me hundreds of feet as my friend and I try to make our way through this torturous storm to a better place to pull over than in the middle of the street. We drove to a auto parts store close by and got some oil, but the engine light is still on. Now, I have been in cars who's owners allow the check engine light to stay on for a while and don't worry about it, but this car is not very old at all and it should not be showing this light whatsoever. When this happened I literally burst into tears. I was suppose to be at church helping our worship leader leads the children in worship. I have been completely overwhelmed with life lately, everything about it. Quite frankly, I have been depressed. When that indicator light came on in my car, I asked God, "what else? What else can you possibly throw at me?" Well, hopefully He doesn't show me what else He can toss my way, because truthfully, He could throw a ton more at me. I am going through such a test right now with every single aspect in my life and unfortunately, I have been leaving God out of it. I am not letting Him in. No wonder I can't deal with the daily anymore. No wonder I am drained of every ounce of energy. No wonder I am depressed. I would appreciate any prayers from those of you who believe in the miraculous power of prayer. I am lonely, lost, and just down right sad. I need help from God and I need prayers that I will allow Him to work these things out for me or atleast provide me the strength to get through them.
