lately, some pieces of the life puzzle have surfaced. i have been observant enough to notice that when is God is working in me, i see him in some rather abstract ways. i have mentioned this in an earlier post titled "God is a goose". well, for some time i have not seen God at work and these abstracts have not been there. i know He is always there no matter where or what. sometimes obvious, sometimes in stealth mode. yesterday the engine in my van started giving me problems and i know it's life is almost over. as i was driving past a large cemetery on the way to church, a flock of geese were right on the side of the road. after seeing this, i knew God was reminding me that he is still there and whatever else i face, it will be OK. tonight, on the way to church, my kids got into a food fight in the car. i grabbed the plate of mac and cheese from my 9 year old and dumped it in my lap. as i sat there about to explode, i was driving past the same cemetery and the geese were back. it was a hard family moment and God's timing is always perfect. i did not explode but rather felt peace. i needed God right then, that split second and he knew it. i needed him and as always, he was there. if i analyze this too much, i would wonder the significance of the geese being by a cemetery and start to think somebody close to me may die soon. i don't know if this will happen. maybe it is me. i just don't know. i do know this-whatever does happen He will be there with me. i trust and believe and yes, it is that simple.
until next time...
