My Drive Through the Foreign Fields of Ann Arbor


Although I should be sleep at this very hour, do to the fact that I have a 4 hour math class in the morning I have yet chosen to write another note. In fear that I will forget and utterly important part of the story I must write tonight lol. Well, I was suppose to leave my house at 5:30 but for perhaps the second time in my life I was running alittle late and didn't step into my 2001 royal blue Ford Focus until 6 pm. My drive began perfectly (probably because I knew where I was at). It wasn't until I finally reached Plymouth Rd where all my troubles began.OR perhaps even before then!!! Handy Dandy mapquest didn't predict the right number of miles so of course it took me forever to find Plymouth Road, right when I was about to give up and go home there was the road I said thank you Jesus as if this were the end of my problems. I immediately despised the fact that plymouth was only ONE LANE and boy do people like to speed in their top notch fancy cars (yes I'm doing alittle hating) nevertheless I traveled what seems to be like forever flying down this street with so many twists and turns searching for my next street!! I finally pull over on the side of this one lane rd to let the speeders go by so I can drive in peace. SO i finally find my next street a make a right turn in my mind i'm thinking oh i'm doing good almost there!!!!!!!!! But I travel only perhaps one mile to find some kind of parade going on (which I drive through) and my road is blocked YES BLOCKed I'm in the middle of ann Arbor neighborhoods with no clue where I am so i just follow the car in front of me and amazingly (wanting to go home AGAIN i figure If I turn around now i'll be just as lost) the next street I'm looking for pops up (ANOTHER THANK U JESUS) I scream in my car in the process I run two red lights because i'm nervous but all the people are nice enough to give me dirty looks instead of hunk! Again I travel down this longggggggggggggggggggg street Ann Arbor Rd or something .... i mean the street is too long I notice that their isn't not one street light and glady thank God that it isn't dark! Anyway in the course of driving all street signs disappear to my right rows and rows of corn and to my left some weird small animals eating grass, I had the worst feeling that perhaps I'd never find my way to church or back home thank God I had a tank full of gas!!! Anyway I went through construction pass pastures and mansions. Just to end up and another Rd block, a road that I once again I needed to get to Solid Rock Apostolic Church I looked to my left and saw a sign that read DETROIT that wasn't the church but I was so happy because any sign that read DETROITmeant that I could go home. Instead I went straight dialed my moms number and told her I'm coming home (about to cry really wanted to go to church) Amazingly my mother remembered How tO get to the church so i did a u-turn which by the way I was on the wrong side of the street and finally got HUNKED at!! Yes I reached church just in time actually it was 7:35 but they hadn't even begun to sing yet.... Throughout the course of the service I was thinking gosh I'm going to have to sleep in my car and miss class tomorrow no way I can make it home the moon isn't bright enough for me to see these streets. At the end of service I prayed, and Prayed somemore and when I opened my eyes I thought maybe my brain was inventing a person I actually knew. I took off my glasses squinted then put them back, I still kept staring at this person like no impossible couldn't be. I out of the ordinary, walked over and OMG it was Josiah ??? What yes, I was so excited to see a familiar face no not because I was lonely.... now I wouldn't have to sleep in my car after all !!! God definitely answers prayers God's moon light with the help of Josiah's tail lights led me safetly home!!!! I hope you got all of that there will be more to come for adventures with Ja'Nise Traveling alone to far away places with no street lights! Goodnight and GOd Bless!
