Faith like Potatoes

Everybody I talked to said, everyone fails the first road test in either Minnesota or the US. I practiced my parallel parking to the point of obsession, started dreaming that I was parallel parking and prayed over it with Tracy a good friend of mine whose Husband has been tireless at helping me with all that I needed to do to pass my road test. afternoon I had my test and parallel parked perfectly according to the instructor,I passed my test and the boost that I have to participate on the road is indescribable now as am bubbling with joy. Drove back in traffic and had fun doing it, changing lanes as though I have been at it for years, a luxury we don't have that much in Uganda considering the size of our roads. I feel more in control now, with much more on my hands. I am extremely thankful to my friends who took time to help me out, with rides to places when I could not dare risk a long ride on the road without a license. Yet one thing is certain, I believed that I would pass my test first time I did it, despite the discouragement I got, and trust me this discouragement was not intended for me as an individual but it has become the norm that the first test is often failed. I decided to put my faith in God and told Him to help me when I had to do parallel parking and indeed He did. When I did my test in Uganda I practically failed parallel parking, did not pay a bribe but got my license anyway. My brother who went with me insists that the Police Instructors only favored me. Spent time at the YMCA today, I have postponed all my yoga classes as I still have to conclude a conversation on Yoga with a friend who thinks there is more to it than fitness, she is concerned about the whole meditation orientation. So I have resorted to maintaining my time at the gym walking miles and increasing my steps daily.Today was great as I spent 65 minutes without any interruption. Watched 'Faith like Potatoes' amazing true story, faith is a real attribute that can only manifest greatly when placed in God. I am always perplexed that it is often the people who lead us, who question our faith in times of crisis. But faith is one of those attributes that is essential for any relationship. Faith like potatoes is one interesting phrase yet I realize that potatoes(Irish ones as Ugandans say) can not be seen when ready, so even the planting process can be a faith move but even greater when there is drought. As the book "One month to live' says that the life of faith that everyone calls ridiculous is the only way to live. Hoping that my faith will be as that of Angus Buchan in 'Faith like potatoes'
