Everyday Grace…

This morning… I prayed again to stop my aggressive driving and it’s been getting better. But something made me laugh out loud. As I was driving this morning, something jumped out at me.

I started my car. Let it warm up a bit and then started driving. Now today is trash day. Usually it’s thursdays… except in the case of snow / holiday, in which case the day is pushed back 1 day. But anyway, I’m driving up to this intersection at a relative snail’s pace (15 mph) and this trashman hollers at me from the intersection. He yells: “Come on!”. That’s because, he’s stopped the trash truck at the intersection and he’s letting people past. So you can imagine… we have about 5 cars all ignoring the stop sign and I’m all the way near the tail of this line. So I hit the gas, coast through & make a lefthand turn. I glance in my rearview… and I see that he’s waving through the cars on the other part of the intersection.

I’m humbled. Seriously. This is a trash collector. And he has shown me much more grace as a driver than I have been aiming for in my own personal prayer. So I laugh at myself and my little goals. And I remember, God’s alot bigger than I can imagine. Bigger than any goal or obstacle… It’s ironic how I can forget such a simple thing. and it’s crazy, the ways God can remind me…

================================

Sorry readers. I’ve been working on this monster of a topic and I just haven’t taken the time to finish it. Hence why the fluffy post up there… I have a good idea in my head on how to do it. I just need to take the time for it. The topic is Sexual Equality & the Word. If you have a spare second, please pray for me. It’s a pretty tough topic and I’ve been trying to piece something together for the past 3 weeks. bleh! Have a great weekend!

    the greatest area of debate would be dividing the people into such nice clean groups and evidence for or against a universal christian pretribulation rapture. hope that makes sense…

    Praying for wisdom & discernment for you… tough topic!

  4. Every little victory only gives God more glory..even when it comes to driving in traffic 🙂

    I pray God gives you wisdom and discernment for this subject as well. The greatest wisdom I have ever recieved was from our Pastor who teaches us to live by 5 words…what does the bible say? So many people allow culture and secular worldly ideals to influence their beliefs. The bible is the standard by which we measure everything. God will show you the answers you need!

    God Bless
