Happy Sabbath

It's was a good week. I was able to get new tires on my other vehicle but I have to get new cross bars before they can do an alignment.  They will allow me to do a tire rotation for free as a AAA member. I was told to order lug nuts because they needed to be replaced but if I got them through AAA, I'd have to pay $150. I bought some off of Amazon for 20 bucks and plan to price out the cross bar repair before making my next move. My suv has working AC but I know more work needs to be done.
I am thankful nonetheless because I could be out here depending on bussing and Lyft drivers. I would need to rent a car for my main job to even do it.

I've had my ups and downs with my son but God is good. I learned also today that my pastor is going to another area and we are getting a new one. He and his family will absolutely be missed as he helped us get so far and to do many great things. I had decided to go to the YMCA yesterday and chose to wear these retro Nike air max sneakers I had from the 90s. I only wore them a handful of times in childhood and didn't wear them out again. My son was determined to take my gym Adidas shoes so I decided to put the old sneakers on as I didn't have a pair I wanted to damage with creasing in my collection. We played basketball and when I went to switch it up on him my right shoe broke. The heel separated and I had to hold it together with a hair tie I always keep on my wrist. I stuck it out so we could get it in at the weight room but as I was leaving the room my left shoe separated.  The shoe malfunction caused me to end my visit early. I came outside and saw someone familiar standing waiting for her ride. It happened to be this pianist who I knew from my other church
.She played for 40 yrs and when I stopped at her church I for a period would cover for her when she was sick or wanted to sing with a group.  I ended up leaving to be the pianist at my current church and she suggested I stop by her church to visit. There unfortunately is no one to cover and except for vacation or being extremely ill, I would never just decide to not play piano for my church. I'm the first member in the building and usually close to the last that leaves. Today they had to turn the lights off on me and I always stay at the piano if I'm not trying to supervise my child.  She is 93 and goes to the gym. That is absolutely inspiring to me. My late ficative aunt who I used to live with was in her 80s hitting the gym. So I am encouraged and it was so nice to run into another church member in the wild.

I don't know the exact reason but God knows. I hope that she has a blessed weekend as well as my pastor's family and anyone who reads this.

God is good.
