The other night the KB taxi service was on yet another call. There was much in this adventure that reminded me of God.
My friend and I were sitting in the area where the families wait for their loved one to arrive at the airport. The song that the Lord has been giving me came to my head. While I'm waiting I will serve him. While I'm waiting I will worship. So I decided to serve Him while I was waiting. I made conversation with the couple behind me about their son even though I did not know the language they spoke. I saw the people get off the plane that did not have a loved one waiting and I thought how sad. While I am waiting I will serve Him.
On the drive home it was super super foggy. It was dark. This drive got me to thinking about my own life. There are so many days that I drive in the fog and I can not see anything that is front of me. Actually that has been life for most of the last year. All I can see is the thirty feet in front of me. Whenever I try to see more or want to see more the Lord does not allow it. God told me to stay in Pella for one more year. I had my resume sent, place to go, and was ready to put the house on the market and go. God said stay. So in that fog I stayed between the solid white line and the dash line. On that drive the fog caused the window to fog as well. I could not see very well. The only way I could see was if I put the heat up to 90 and blow the window clean. In the meantime I got really really warm and so did my passengers. Sometimes God turns the heat way up on me. Sometimes he gives me pressures, frustrations, or life experiences that cause me discomfort and high heat. When I opened the window and let it flow in the heat was not so bad. I need to allow God to open the window for me and allow his presence to fill me when those heated moments come in my life.
In all the craziness of the waiting and the not being able to see, and the heat we made it home. We dropped off the taxi service customer at home. God is going to do the same thing for me. In my waiting he will will teach me to serve and worship. In the fog he will teach me to trust and just follow between the lines that he has for me. In the heat he will teach me to rely on him and allow himself to fill me. No matter what happens God is going to take me home safely. That is a good feeling!
