God Makes Me Laugh

God makes me laugh.   He takes me out at night to a Starbucks (I don't do coffee) for a couple hours mainly to tell me two words: "Build Relationships".   Yes, He did show me many smaller tools and principles and such during the time, but His main purpose, that I currently see, was to tell me two words.  The simple things that God will stretch into such strange things and times to emphasize what He's saying and to teach a multi-point lesson, just amazes me!

Sleepy Snowy Night Driving

That moment when I'm driving home and I'm tired, and God decides to wake me up (in a fun, exciting and thrilling way- that I like, after I had complained to Him that I couldn't take a risky fun way home).

So it's snowing and slick and I came to a curve, and as my car started to slide it appeared that I was just going to drift around the curve - it's dark and no other cars are around. But then my car curves a bit more and I look straight ahead off the side of the road and realized I am looking straight into a quite deep ditch/hill/drop. But my car started to turn back to the right direction, and I realized likely one of two things is about to happen; 1) I will slide right off the deep ditch or 2) I will end up perfectly on the shoulder of the wrong side of the road. It looked like I was going to make the shoulder. . . that is until one of my tires made contact with the shoulder (which apparently is and inch or two lower than the road). As soon as my wheel hit the shoulder my car made an immediate 180* turn and swung me to the other side of the road. In the end, yes, I ended up on the shoulder of my side of the road facing the wrong direction. From that point on I was WIDE Awake!

Thank you Lord for waking me up, keeping me safe and blessing me with an exciting snow thrill! Your hand is visibly on me, thank you Dad!
