Last night, in connection group, we shared our testimonials/God stories/whatever you want to call them. After getting home (there was some craziness involved in this, but I'll leave that for later in the post), I was lying awake in bed thinking about how things could have been different. Last year, when I joined a connection group by walking in just before it started--and being too lazy to leave--my plan had been to stop in for a minute or two, then go back to my room and watch House. That brought up a lot of questions on what would have been if I had followed that plan. Would I be a Christian now? (maybe, but I doubt it) Would I be in Ames today? (I don't think so) Would I be eating healthy? (not if I'm not in Ames) The list goes on and on. It's amazing how one little moment can change so much, just one year later.
Anyway, back to getting home after connection group last night. The guy that was driving me home forgot his wallet in the apartment, so he had to run back in and get it. He left his lights on while doing so, first running through some random guy's apartment instead of the connection group leader's. When he finally returned with his wallet, the car wouldn't start. We pushed the car off to the side, and started a mad search for jumper cables (with the connection group leader driving us around). When we finally got back, the car still wouldn't start, even with a jump. We pushed the car into a parking spot, and the guy that was going to drive me home opted to spend the night there. I got a ride home from the leader, and went to bed. I hope the guy's car isn't too expensive to fix.
