Little background:My boss purchased a building. the first thing she decide
is to remodel; so it has to be gutted first.
The carpet was still usable, so I asked the director at Camp Challenge if he
wanted the used carpet.  He said he sure did.
Being the dumb macho male I tried to do everything by myself. I did finally
ask and did get some help.  The pace picked up in the gutting of the
building and I had to get the carpet out or lose it. I started to get very
stressed out and snapping at people.
I asked the General Manger if I could use the  company truck to take  the
carpet to the Camp Friday night or Saturday Morning.I was turned down.(this
was Wednesday afternoon)

Wednesday evening I when to church for the fellowship and worship services.
During
dinner I asked a couple of guys if they could help, they said they would
see.  During the worship service I suddenly realized that I was trying to do
this on my own.  I then gave it to God; deciding that if he wanted this to
happen he would find a way. If he didn't want this to happen it
wouldn't.After that the stress left me and I chilled out.

Thursday morning the General Manger called me and said because I didn't have
any delivery that afternoon I could use the truck to take the carpet to Camp
Challenge AND I could use one of the general laborers to help load and to go
with me to unload.I was totally floored but had enough sense to take him up
on his offer.  After that things when very smoothly, the Camp even had
someone to help me unload so I didn't need to take the laborer.

On the trip up and back I was praising the Lord and Thanking him for showing
me I was not alone and He will help me.

As a friend keeps saying It was AWESOME.
