As I left home to drive to town this evening, a storm hit our area. Lightning, thunder and very hard rain made the drive quite interesting. I was not pleased when the car in front of me drove much slower than necessary. Sure, it was important to drive safely but 30 mph seemed a bit overboard to me at the time. Yet when the rain became a downpour, I found my attitude changing...greatly. What seemed unnecessary to me initially became helpful to me eventually. Although I was wearing my glasses, taking my time and had the headlights on, that car became a wonderful and essential guide for me. I began thinking.
Life seems to include many unnecessary distractions. Just as I initially became frustrated with that slow-moving car, I find my attitude becoming frustrated about the way some things happen on this life journey. I need to get things done...now. I need to make changes...now. I need to make things better...now. Yet His timing is always better than mine. He knows what I need to learn, become, realize or accept first. Preparing my heart, mind and life in His time is a much better plan than my own. As I look back, I see how He repeatedly led me through circumstances I would have never handled alone. I am thankful for His light that continually guides me through storms, seasons and situations. Focusing on Him above all else makes this journey purposeful, peaceful and possible. I am amazed. I am grateful. I am never alone.<3~thl
