One day the sweetest girl gave me a dollar too much change. I couldn't get her attention to give it back to her right then so I left, but knew I would see her again. The next time she was my carhop, I gave her the dollar and told her she had given me too much change awhile back. She looked at me with a strange expression and said "I did?" I said "Yep, but I knew I'd see you eventually to make it right". She walked off with the same flabbergasted expression on her face. The "you must be crazy" expression. <strong>THAT'S FUNNY. I'M SURE SHE WAS SHOCKED THAT YOU STILL GAVE IT BACK AFTER ALL THAT TIME, ESPECIALLY OVER $1. I'M GLAD THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS A FREAKISHLY HONEST WHEN IT COMES TO THAT KIND-OF STUFF.</strong> I used to go to the same Sonic every single day for a coke, so I knew the carhops fairly well.

THAT’S FUNNY. I’M SURE SHE WAS SHOCKED THAT YOU STILL GAVE IT BACK AFTER ALL THAT TIME, ESPECIALLY OVER $1. I’M GLAD THAT I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS A FREAKISHLY HONEST WHEN IT COMES TO THAT KIND-OF STUFF.

I had a basket full of groceries and paid out. When I got to my car I realized that I had Addy's dog food on the bottom of the cart and forgot to pay for it. I was annoyed at having to go back, but knew it was the only thing I could really do. The greeter at the door looked at me like I was a freak as did the lady at the check out counter. You almost expect people to thank you for doing the right thing, but when you get the "You're a freak" look it's kind of a let down! <strong>I GUESS IF WE'RE GOING TO BE FREAKS IT MIGHT AS WELL BE FOR DOING SOMETHING GOOD, RIGHT? </strong> That happened to me only a few weeks ago at Wal-Mart.

When I listen to my complaints...REALLY listen...I hear how petty I sound. I know I'm blessed in so many ways. I have hard things that I have to deal with as well, but I suppose God has given me the ability to deal with them. And those are not really the ones I complain about..hmmm. "Do all things without complaining"...I need to tatoo that on my forehead backwards ;-) <strong>ONCE I REALLY STARTED THINKING ABOUT THE QUOTE I FELT THE SAME WAY.

I trust that the chair I'm sitting in won't collapse. I trust that the floor won't fall out from under me at the office. I trust that the roof won't fall in on me while I sleep. I trust that the car will work, that the doctors are right, that the food I get isn't poisoned. Okay now I'm starting to freak myself out!! (just kidding) I've been hurt by too many people that I have trusted and far too many times I find myself thinking the worst of people because of that hurt. And beyond that, I don't trust God. And He has never let me down. He has always kept His promises and He always will. But I apply my distrust to Him as well. Shame on me. I want to do better. <strong>WE HAVE COME SO FAR AND YET WE HAVE SO FAR TO GO. WE CAN CLAIM PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION. I'M GRATEFUL THAT I KNOW HE CAN BE TRUSTED ... WITHOUT A DOUBT.

When I got out of the car after it came through the car wash, I talked to the owner of the Jag and he said he never felt anything, no damage to his car. So I went inside to tell the operator of the car wash and he acted like he could care less. I thought it was kind of a big deal, but I guess until someone's Jag is damaged, no one really cares. I know we've talked about this before, but trust is something that doesn't come easy for me. Once trust is broken, it is nearly impossible to earn back. To say I'm a skeptic is a slight understatement. However, if you can pitch it to me in an infomercial, I'm sold! <strong>I'M THE SAME WAY SARAH ... I HAVE A HARD TIME TRUSTING PEOPLE.
