God cares about the small things…

Earlier this week I needed to fill up my car with gas. My gas light was on and unfortunately I was not close to the gas station that I normally like to go to. I usually stop at selective gas stations that I feel safest at. Although this was daytime I still felt a little uncomfortable at this location. When I drove in I was relieved that there was another lady getting some gas so I pulled up next to her so I could be near to someone. The lady was on her phone as she was pumping her gas. I honestly was trying to hurry because I didn’t want her to leave me by myself. Lol. I know I sound ridiculous but I didn’t see anyone around and I didn’t want to be alone.

While I was getting gas, I had a thought in my head and wondered, “Could God somehow make this lady stay longer, until I am all done and get back into my car?” I hadn’t even spoken a prayer. It was more of a question to myself. I thought, “If God’s listening to my thoughts then I wonder if He could make this lady hang around longer?” I don’t know why I doubted but if I’m being honest, I did doubt. I guess I wondered if it was too small to pray about and if it even mattered. I am so glad to say what happened next.  

The lady got back into her car but she stayed there. I am not sure if she was still on her phone but she stayed in her car. I put my gas cap back on, grabbed my receipt, and got back in my car. We left at the same time. :) I don’t know why she decided to stay. Did she feel in her spirit that she needed to stay or did she get distracted being on the phone? I never met her and I didn’t speak a word out loud. Whatever the case, I know it was God showing me that He cares about the small things and that He is in those moments as well.

Thank you God for caring about what I care about.
