clean room, clean thoughts.

My room is finally clean. Today I was driving home from Costco and lowes buying some stuff for the house and my herb garden! #69 (See pictures) Hold on lets go back to the morning. I sat in my truck waiting for it to warm up and I was trying to decide what I wanted to listen to on my ipod. I sat back and scrolled through the list and couldn't decide. So I went to the song section and just hit random. I really do enjoy all the music on my ipod. Its a wide range of different genres and I enjoy every song. I did not skip any of them and I'm impressed of what music I have collected in the last few years. All day another great song would follow another and a few I've never heard before but enjoyed just as much. Back to my ride back from Lowes and Costco. I was driving down the 223 and I saw two ladies flagging down cars and no one was stopping. In my head I was thinking about how that one time me my mom and a few others where stuck on the side of the freeway down in San Diego and man did that suck. Well I pull over and the lady tells me a story about how her and her friend where on their way back from Anaheim and they ran out of gas and don't have any money to buy more. She was offering to sell me her rings, cell phone, camera, anything of value she had on her. I told her to hold on as I was walking back to the car I knew I only had a twenty in my wallet, I had some other bills but they where hundreds and they where dedicated towards my school payment so I was like whatever I'll give her the twenty it doesn't hurt me and I know God will repay me in the long run twice fold. I gave her the twenty and told her to be safe and God bless. She was so grateful that I gave her that much. She continued telling me that I was the first to stop and they have been waving down cars for an hour. She was insisting that I give her my name and address so she can pay me back and I declined and told her to just make sure they get home safely. I believe that God is testing us everyday to make sure we hold true to what he teaches us. Wouldn't you want someone to help you in your time of need. And I knew it would eat at me if I never stopped, it would be in the back of my mind the whole time wondering. But in other news I plated my herbs today :) woohoo and I'm going to send off my balloon and note today too. Well hoping that Nereo brings my balloon. I have to get some homework done...so till next time... rock music heavy on synth.
