God Looks Like A Goose

well, no. scripture tells us we are made in his image. so hang on, stick with me here.
as i look around, i sometimes find it hard to believe god is anywhere around. sickness, war, people killing each other plus a whole lot of other stuff i don't understand. i am sure some are wondering where god was when all those students and teachers were being killed one by one at virginia tech. i don't know. i am sure he was there in some way and some how there will be stories that will surface that will show his hand some way.
being on the road as much as i am, i do not get to go to my home church very often.i miss that group of believers and there are times i really need a dose of god. his medicine is good for my soul. sometimes i get in situations while driving that scare me. it may be a new city, a way i have never gone or it could just be the moment i am in. regardless, i need god and i need him more at that moment. and then it happens. it is what i call a "god moment". it is where i am able to see god in a very real way. he lets me know that he is there with me and he is always right on time. how does he do it? geese. yep, the big bird that flies in the air. kinda odd, isn't it? god knows how i love his creation and i marvel at birds. hummingbirds and geese. nothing quite like a flock of geese flying over on a moonlit, fall evening.
the first time i drove a bus to washington, d.c., i was apprehensive which is nice word for scared. i was praying for god to show me the way and help me get my passengers there safely. just as soon as i was finished praying, a flock of geese flew very low over me. immediately i felt at peace and knew he was there with me. since then, this has happened many times over. i know it is kinda whacky. i have mentioned my god moments to other people and they have similar stories although theirs are not geese. it is very real to me and i can't describe the feeling. i just know it works.
will it work for you? i don't know. ask him, not me. next time you see a flock of geese, just know someone, somewhere, is having a god moment.
until next time...
