Life is Good with God in charge
Life is Good
Day by day, I try to learn a new appreciation of Gods direction.
One day I thought that life was good until I got caught in a long traffic jam. It was one of those days that am so glad that I followed God’s prompting to stop and eat dinner. I count it to my advantage that I actually listened and didn't fight the Holy Spirit’s leading. I thought about what my dinner could have been. Some how a good chicken dinner sounds better then granola bars. Little did I know what I was about to face on highway 40, going towards Flagstaff. I guess that I could be happy that I wasn’t a part of the mess! After all, God did graciously let me pull off the freeway into a rest stop area. Let me tell you that the word “rest” wasn’t in the parking lot vocabulary. At least it wasn’t quiet, that night. Cars were coming and going. People were talking, so I finally decided to join the party to find out what the hold up was about. Apparently, two Semi trucks collided to form a barrier to my destination. Because of one truck carrying apples we had to wait for three hours for them to clean up the applesauce. The good part about this time wasted trip was, the awesome sun-set pictures that got published on the internet. I also got to catch up on my scripture reading. It's ironic that I read “Be still and know that I'm God! Psalms 46:10” I remember passing the mangled trucks and saying a prayer for the truckers and their families. Now, that I look back on the situation, I know that life is good with God in charge!
