Girl, Interrupted

Girl, Interrupted

On my way to my Upper HH, decided to park in a nearby sandy parking area.
Found a spot, still ealry kasi.

Uwian na.
Walked and waded through the sand to get to my parkign spot.
Sakay na the passengers.
Dyaran!
We realized the car was trapped.
As in we were inside a box of cars...no way out!
We tried calling the phone numbers posted on several cars dashboards...

I decided to sleepover at my friend's house and hope against hope that tomorrow morning, someone will be leaving the parking area early and i'll have a way out.
Woke up to the sound of my alarm..
I thought it was the snooze button.
I overslept.
Whoah!  It's a few minutes before 6AM.
Walked towards the parking area.
Huhuhuuhu...Still no way out.

This is an interruption.
Bask in the interruption.
I simply stood there and prayed.
Lord, calm  me.
Calm  my senses, calm my spirit.
Tried calling another driver; he agreed to come in 15 minutes (in Dubai that's equivalent to half an hour)
Informed my passengers about my ordeal and suggested they take the RTA Bus.

Back to the car.
Prayed and prayed.
Enjoyed the silence of the early morn.
Then I saw a 'kabayan' approaching with a car key in his hand...
He started the engine of a van...YEHEY!!!
I trooped to starting my car as fast as I could and drove to his spot...
I requested him  if  I can pass by (because it seemed like he wasn't ina  hirry and he's still 'heating up' his van)

Yey! Back on track though a lil' bit late...
Plus, I wasn't stressed.  I simply enjoyed the interruption.

Thank You, Lord for holding my heart with Your loving hands.
May I always see You in every scenario, whether fortunate or the seemingly unfortunate.
