I Got Someone

A note was pushed under my front door to the effect that I had to send my driver’s license, car insurance, and car registration to the management office of my apartment. Why? It had become necessary to change the chips hanging in our cars that allow us to enter our parking lot. I quickly got my papers and went to the office.

The manager rejected my license because it did not have the address of the building. I reminded her that it was valid until 2022 and that we were still in March 2021. She insisted that it was required to get a new one showing the new address one month after moving in. She gave me a few days to get a new one; otherwise, my car would not be able to enter the parking lot and could be towed away from the premises.

At the motor vehicle office, I was told to apply online.

Unfortunately, some of us who were not born yesterday have problems with technology, and the website directed me to a different motor vehicle agency. Again, I was told to solve my problem online. A yo-yo now. Right? Disappointed, with tears and prayers, I called our daughter, Abby, who lives in another state.

Within a few minutes, the same website sent me an interim license to print, sign, and add to the old one while I waited for a new license to be mailed to me.

I then rushed to the management office only to realize that the new chip project was completed. What was I expected to do? Park on the roadside? Really? But as the day’s message goes, “I got Someone.” Yes, I do; and He is looking out for me. He never stops. Friends, I called the officer in charge of the building, and he explained, “Your car will be OK in the parking lot because management will set a new date for those who did not get the new chip.” Unbelievable! That is how He works.

God has His own ways, and He always has our backs. God has the best plans for every one of His own. He knows our voices and hears when we call.

Just as Jesus said, “I am the good Shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me” (John 10:14, NIV). Do you know Him?
