Better late than never

So i was a bit late to work today, but it all started as a culmination of the end of last night. So we finished up our meeting at like 12am. Voges (pronounced "VOH-GUESS") said he had a graduation card for me. But i decided not to open this card for a very specific reason, I do not like opening cards in front of peopel that much, especially if it is a serious thing. So i snuck the envelope encased card into my journal. I decided to be a gentleman and walk a girl out to her car, and decided to take my journal. After that happened i walked back (one way is a little less than a quarter mile) to meet my Karrina (my GF) and the rest of the group, and walk to the cars with them.

I woke up this morning and decided to read the card, but it wasnt in the journal, and was nowhere to be found. I was kinda upset. I called karrina as is my usual morning routine, and she said she thought she remembered seeing a card on the street. So i decided to take a drive by and see. The odds were against me, but i figured it was worth a try. On my first run i didnt see anything. On my second (and final) run i say a rectangular shaped item on the street floor. It looked as if it had been run over like 10 times and was tearing at one seam. The front of the card said "travis." I opened it to find a nicely written card, and a check all perfectly in tact.

I will have you know that I prayed for this three times. For humility, when i believed i would have to call the card originator and tell them "thank you" for a card i never read, and a gift i never recieved. God decided to spare me and answer my prayer. Thats why i believe in prayer, you may not always get the answer you want...but sometimes you do.
