Morning Drive

Sometimes, at the most unexpected times, in the most unexpected ways reassurances come to us. They can come in a multitude of ways, but once in awhile the answer is so profound it can't be ignored. That's what happened this morning.

As I left for work I was marveling at the beauty of the day. The sun hadn't come over the mountains yet, but the light from it was streaming over the top in the most profound, beautiful waves. I love when you can see the actual beams in the breaking sunlight and this morning there were 2 very distinct ones.

I was watching the coming morning light (obviously since my drive to work takes me East), thinking about a lot of things. I have a lot weighing heavy on my mind right now, but one thing in particular was really troubling me this morning. As I was pondering on that, marveling at the beauty of the morning and seeking some sort of answer, I reached down to start channel-surfing on the radio and I hesitated.

I don't know why I didn't change the channel on the radio - they were yapping and it was annoying, but I didn't. I let them prattle on, lost in my own thoughts.

That thing I'd been really worried about? As simplistic as it sounds, I felt like it would be okay. My rational mind starting questioning whether that was really the answer I was seeking or if it was me giving myself a pep talk. Remember that radio I didn't change? This came on & I knew I had my answer:

He listens. Sometimes it's easy to forget that or rationalize it away, but when we're ready to listen He's ready to answer.
