Last night as I was winding down for the night, I got a text from someone who had forgotten a friend's keys in my car. I had planned on going to bed early, but it seems that God had different plans for my night. What made things even worse was that this person was not apologetic but just assumed I would jump to help. Okay so I did. As I walked out of the house for the 20 minute drive to where this person was, I prayed and prayed hard. "God I need to have a very different attitude when I see this individual because right now I am very angry." I looked up and the stars were simply dancing in the beautiful night sky. A gift for sure, but not enough to quell my anger. I continued to pray. Suddenly about 15 minutes into the trip I looked to my left and on the horizon was a beautiful orange moon, just more than a sliver, but barely there. God spoke to my heart, "It is a glimpse of things to come." I followed it with my eyes for a few more minutes before I reached my destination. (I am thankful that it was driving out in the county, in the middle of nowhere, so no one was on the road.) On the way, the individual sent me a text apologizing for forgetting the keys, between that and the moon, I was in a much better mood. God simply is good. Funny thing is I could not find that moon for the trip home.
All you who read my blog know how much I absolutely LOVE the beauty of God's creation, so the moon last night simply filled my heart to overflowing with joy. I have been experiencing a lot of the beauty of God's creation lately. I am so very blessed!
A glimpse of things to come could mean so many different things at this point in my life. I just returned from a missions trip to Colombia with my church. Being surrounded by the Andes mountains was simply a gift from my Creator. Perhaps the glimpse of things to come has to do with future missions trips I am meant to serve on. Perhaps it has to do with some of the friendships I have started to build as a result of that trip. Perhaps God wants to take my life in a totally new direction. I don't know at this point, but one thing I do know is that my Heavenly Father is faithful, He loves me and wants the very best for me.
Isaiah 43: 18-19 says, "“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
I look forward with great anticipation to see what God has springing up in front of me. I am just excited to follow His path for my life. I do perceive it; last night I saw a glimpse of things to come.
Thank you God for filling my life with Your love! You Rock!!!!!
