Story time. Tonight, Dave and I went to Walmart to pick up a few things on our way to Julie’s ice cream and board game party. We bought some ice cream, soda, and fruit. Most of it was packed in my handy green bag (which is ironically black). My green (black) bag felt a lot like my purse. I put the bag in the trunk and had Dave push the cart to an empty spot next to us. So, we left and drove to Julie’s house (a couple minutes away). I got out of the car, reached for my purse and got that “oh my gosh..where is my purse?” feeling and realized I definitely did not have it. Dave and I jumped back into the car and sped back to Walmart, while Dave prayed that my purse was still there. For all you ladies who have ever done this, you know that extremely nervous feeling you get when you go back to the location, wondering if someone has taken it yet, well that’s exactly what I was feeling. We were in the parking lot and people were walking SO SLOW in front of me and were in my way and it made me realize how slow people walk! So, we finally got back to the spot where we left the cart and there were no carts around! It was gone and I got so scared! We saw a walmart employee collecting carts near the parking spot and I jumped out and asked him if he had seen a purse. He said someone found it and dropped it off inside. HALLELUJAH!! Wooo!! We walked inside and a man handed me my beloved purse. Then, I was finally able to breathe again! It was so scary but God provided and protected me in my stupid mistake. It was so stupid because I still had my social security card in my wallet because I had to bring it into my new job last week. I could have lost it and all my IDs, cards, info, etc. My new (less than two weeks) digital camera was also in my purse and could have easily been taken out before it was returned. God seriously provided for me when he sent that kind person to return my belongings instead of someone who would have taken it and ran. I’m just so relieved! Thank you, God!!
I just want to hug my purse and never let go!

It’s truly nice to know that there are some honest people in this world! AMEN!!!! Love ya!!!
oh my gosh!!!!!! Mich, I HATE that feeling. It is one of the worst feelings in the world because our purses really do carry our basic necessities for everyday life. I am so glad an honest person dropped it off!!! You won’t ever do that again
(It’s sort of like losing a debit/credit card… gosh I hate the moment you realize you don’t have it!)
