This morning, when I was rushing to finish up tonight's dinner, gather up all my things and head out to work at The Cross, I inadvertantly locked my back door as I was closing it, not realizing my keys were INSIDE on the hook. After making acouple of unsuccessful calls to those who have an extra key, I called Phillip, at the station, to ask for a ride.
Then, as I have come to condition myself, I said, "Okay, God, . . . THIS did NOT take You by surprise. So, what am I supposed to get from this (other than, "haste makes waste!") - - and could we HURRY, PLEASE!!! I have to go on the air in 20 minutes & it takes five minutes to GET there (as You know :) ). I didn't get a profound, booming revelation in the moment, but did begin to realize that I had not really even noticed how beautiful the morning was : the cool air, changing colors of the leaves in the trees framing our home, set against the backdrop of the bright blue skies . . . tiny flowers growing out of the stump of a tree . . . WOW!! I had to take out my phone and snap some pictures!! It wasTHEN that I noticed . . . I wasn't anxious or stressed out!!! In fact, I felt like I was on some kind of 'field trip' in my own front yard . . . because I stopped to consider the truth of Who is ACTUALLY in control. Even in our mistakes, He has a BLESSING - - if WE will but put our reactions and thoughts in check just long enough to give Him an opportunity, even in the small things, to bring joy into the midst of our choices and schedules!! We ARE His heart and He desires to lavish His love on us . . . so LET'S LET HIM . . . even in "the unexpected!" Stay BLESSED!!! :) Jenny
