I went to Meijer Friday night after work with Lois and Marlo. We were clear at the back of the store when it happened.... That uncontrollable urge to use the bathroom. So, I left my cart with them and walked all the way to the front of the store to the bathroom.
Afterwards I met up with my friends and 20 mins later and by the checkouts I realized I didn't have my wallet. I checked the carts, and took off running to the bathrooms. I frantically searched but didn't find my wallet. I went up to the nearest checkout clerk and asked if anyone turned it in. After shaking her head I ran back to my friends.
Lois took one look and said "First of all, don't start crying. I'll retrace our steps, Marlo check out around the clothes." They took off and I decided to check the bathroom one last time. I prayed harder than I ever did in my life. I was praying let either a honest person find it, or to please put blinders on dishonest people's eyes.
Went back in and sure enough laying on the sink was my wallet. I grabbed it and checked. ALL my money, checks, and debit card was STILL there. I immediately thanked the Lord for His help and went to find my friends. I found Marlo first and she said "I was praying that you would find it." I then sent a text to Lois telling her I found it.
Lois and I both had to be up and an unearthly hour Sat morning, so we checked out and left Marlo behind to finish her shopping. As we were walking to our Jeeps, Lois said "I was praying that you would find it. I kept repeating over and over 'please let her find it, please let her find it.'" So with my prayers and the prayers of my two friends I found my wallet intact.
However it took over an hour to get my heart rate back to normal.
