Interruption vs Divine Intervention
If you have done the Jonah series by Priscilla Shirer you know the difference between Interruptions in our lives and divine intervention. Saturday was a mix of both. First we picked up Audrey's patient at 5 am in downtown Winston-Salem, He went to the RUSH to exercise before we got there. Can you imagine getting into a car with 3 people you hardly know and driveing with them to Chapel Hill for $50.
We left town and it started to rain about Burlington, Audrey has windshield wipers that have never been changed in 3 years,(interruption) to say her Dad was mad is an understatement. He can't see well in the dark and rain anyway, but this made it 100 time worse. We finally arrived at the UNC Dental school about 6:30 and dropped them off. We had decided that we would have a date morning together to make the best of this situation so we headed off to find a restaurant to eat breakfast. Finally found a Waffle House (Yuck). Then off to find a Auto Zone to get new wipers. I laughed because the man who helped us didn't know what he was doing and took the wipers off before Joey could see and threw them away, Joey had to dig in the trash and get them out to prove to the man that one wiper was longer than the other.(interruption). We found out that UNC was having a early football game that day and we didn't know our way around real good so we decided to head back to the campus and find a parking spot and just wait for Audrey to finish. Joey is not good with spur of the moments things, he functions much better on planning and preparing. Thank goodness I was driving now, we pulled in at the building we dropped Audrey and Mo off at and parked in the Dean of Dentistry spot, this upset Joey, but I told him we can move if someone shows up, no biggie. Audrey called at 11 and said she was headed down, in the meantime Mo received a call from Winston-Salem police saying they had towed his car because of Rock the Block in downtown W-S for Saturaday night. (Major Interruption) After many frustrating calls we found out that it would cost $175 to get out of towing and told him where it was parked. So we stopped for lunch in Burlington, they had not eaten all morning. We found out from Mohammad (Mo) that his father was from Cairo, Eqypt and his mother from Knoxville, TN. They met when his dad had a restaurant 28 years ago, married and recently separated.
His dad had gone back to Egypt to take care of family business and his mom had come back for a visit. I asked if he minded if Joey prayed for our lunch, he said no problem, we talked more and left.
When we got to the salvage yard, I told Joey that the owner had a christian sticker on the rollback truck and that maybe he should talk to him. (Joey had bucked me about praying at lunch and talking to the owner, but I pushed anywaynot that he minds praying he just didn't want to that morning) When Mr. Davis arrived, Joey reluctantly went with Mo, they got to talking and Joey told him what a nice dog he had in the pen (German Shepard) the owner about fell out he said that dog could kill people and has hurt some, he was like a baby puppy with Joey. This impressed the owner, then they talked about how we are not here on this earth forever and how we should try and not worry about every little thing, Joey explained the situation to Mr. Davis and he said how about you just pay the standard $75 instead. Joey then reminded Mo how we prayed at lunch things would work out for the best. So instead of us paying the full amount he saved us $100.
(divine interrvention). Joey did not want to go with Mohammad that day, he said I knew he was probably Muslim, but after the days events, we know now that these events were for our God to show a fellow that we might never meet again how he is alive and still works today, in the small things of life. And for Joey to change his mind set of people.

Today I traveled
Today I traveled with Audrey to Chapel Hill to take her dental instruments to UNC. Tomorrow we will travel again at 5 am so that she can once again take her state clinical exam to become a Dental Hygenist.
Let me tell you what is wrong with our world today....Like I said we drove all the way to UNC just to drop off her instruments. We could have taken them with us tomorrow, they need to be sterilized before use on her patient. She could have done it here at Forysth Tech, but no, somebody somewhere decided that UNC is the only place this can be done. Tomorrow we leave at 4:45 am to pick up a patient that she just met Thursday, this is one reason we are going with her. His name is Mohammad, Mo for short, Audrey says he seems nice, but in today's world who knows. After we pick him up we drive once again to UNC, because Audrey has to be inside the doors no later that 7 am or she gets locked out and loses her money for the exam. Once there, she has about 40 minutes of paper work to do, so her patient just has to sit and wait. After they tell her she can start she has 1 hr and 1/2 to clean on four teeth. She received an automatic zero the first time because she cleaned teeth around the ones they would be examining, which she found out later she was not suppose to do. It is amazing when you fail because of being thorough. After his 4 teeth are cleaned the judges will come in and make the decision on whether she passes or not. Now let me tell you what is wrong with this whole thing and why goverment really doesn't care about me and you.
First she wasted gas for 2 trips to chapel hill, she had to take off from work, she has to find her own patient and pay them to go with her. The problem with finding your own patient, you don't really know until you get to Chapel Hill, if they will except your patient. Plus, you can only clean 4 of their teeth, how stupid is this. You have criteria to following but in the end, they have the final say, you just hope and pray. The college can not help you in your decisions on patients and they can't give you advise. It cost $1,300.00 to take the exam, if you fail, you have to pay again $1,300.00. Why wouldn't some fail, it creates revenue....
As you can tell, we in our household, believe without a shadow of doubt that this country is run by people who have never lived a life among the average people. They have never really had to work or sacrifice for what they have. If they did they have completely been blinded by power and money and can't remember their own image in the mirror.
We know Audrey will be a great dental hygenist, she loves what she does, now we just pray for a passing grade so she can get a real job.....
