These days, driving to and fro here and there, I'm getting a lot of time to myself. First of all, I love long drives. Bliss to me is driving down a long road with open windows, the music up, and my hair down. But isn't it funny that here lately I've been driving around without the music? I find that it's during my long drives that God really seems to speak to me (assuming I am quiet enough to listen).
Quiet.
That's a strange concept to me, and I'm not afraid to admit it! I'm not a quiet person by nature at all. Anyway, I was yet again driving home yesterday when I chanced a glance at the sky. It was incredibly beautiful! The tree line was accented with so many different pastels, and the sun was beaming up from behind the trees in a soft yet cool light. It was the beginning to a story, or maybe the end of a chapter. In any event, it was at that moment that I realized I had been looking up at the sky a lot lately. Every time I do though I see God's handiwork! I smiled big at first, and then I laughed out loud. I laughed at myself because I felt like a child again. Remember sitting in Sunday school when your teacher would reveal some amazing aspect of a Bible story? Do you remember the thrill and sheer amazement and how you could not wait to tell your parents the incredible and TRUE story you learned? That's how I feel! I feel like God is slowly revealing himself to me! It's like God and I are recreating a relationship. I'm excited and want to talk about it, but then typically I feel as though I'd get the same response from someone else as I would have my parents' years ago; a slow nod upward along with an "Ohhh" and a warm smile that is only given to show patience of my naiveties. But oh well, I'm enjoying my little Sunday School Lessons with God as I drive around the highways and roads in the quiet moments of my car.
The End
Smile, I love you
