It's 2:30 am and I just got home. I don't really know why I'm still awake, but I really wanted to share this story.
A bunch of us went out to a bar to celebrate being done with "hell week", then most of the group went somewhere else after the bar, but my friend Bridget and I decided to head back to our houses. She got dropped off first and I live about 10 minutes away, so I had to ride in the taxi by myself. I've been pretty paranoid about ridding in taxis by myself, because I've heard a few horror stories about my girlfriends riding alone. As soon as Bridget got out of the car, I started praying that God would keep me safe. After I told the driver my address, he asked me where I was from and what I was doing in BA. I told him that I'm a student from the states studying abroad. He had a huge smile on his face and started to tell me how great BA is (as if I didn't already know haha). He said that people he's talked to that have come to BA and then gone back to their home country, always long to come back. We had a nice little talk and when he dropped me off at my apartment complex, I paid him and then he grabbed my hand, gave me a sweet little kiss, and told me that me studying abroad is "muy buenisimo". I started to get out of the car, and he said that he was going to wait until I got into the building. Aww!
This may not be a crazy taxi story like some of my friends have had, but it was something that I will never forget. God was totally watching over me and I'm so grateful that He showed me that He can take care of me in the littlest of ways. It showed me that even when I'm in potentially scary situations, God is always with me, no matter what.
God is good.
Besos y abrazos para todos!
p.s. We're leaving for our EFT tomorrow, so I won't be able to blog until next Thursday (*tear*).
