A couple of days ago I was driving (up Elmbrook hill, if you must know) where there is a level median in the road. There was a car with it's flashers on sitting in the median. I looked in to see if there was anyone inside- there was. The most I could tell was that "it" was a "he" because I drove on my way. There were cars behind me and I had somewhere to be. The circumstances, you see, were not perfect for me to roll down a window and see if everything was ok. Excuse.
I tried to read Grant's expression as he told me his car broke down- for good. It was sad and - not exactly upset but something like it. What college student has money to buy a car? I guess sometimes God takes circumstances and changes them without a warning sign. Unpredictable.
I have never been so uneasy about another persons life as I am now, about one of my best and dearest friends. I am worried she has convinced herself that circumstances have changed in a relationship when they haven't. But I dont know. Nor do I know Gods plan for her life. God teach me to pray instead of worry. Reason.
Sometimes living at home drives me crazy. But these are the best circumstances I could be in. I know I belong here and God has plans for me here- and now. My dad said something that struck me hard today - "God has each day planned out for us. So there is never too much to do in one day and not too little." Hillsong's "Mighty to Save" line comes to mind - Author of Salvation. (as Grant brought my attention to it this morning in worship). My first thought is to cringe at the days I have wasted. Excuse.
Sometimes everything becomes so clear. (and then I feel ashamed I didnt see it before). There is one truth that hits me continually. The secret to life. Show the world God's light by serving others. By ignoring the circumstances. By stopping traffic.
