Well, on my way to Chiapas this night, some thoughts came to mind...as they always do! The weather was frigid cold the night I left Chicago. It had snowed and snowed. Even up to 4 hours before I left, it was still snowing. I was excited, but more nervous. I find this is so, the older I get! Do I have everything? Can I close my bag? Can I carry my bag? Will the taxi driver come? (He is new..). Will he drive safe? Will the roads be treacherous? Will the weather delay my flights? Will the family miss me? Will they care that I am gone? Will there be weather, or troubles in Tuxtla? Will I have enough purpose there? Will God really keep me safe? Why don’t I trust him more?
Well, there were moments. The thick cloud cover between Mexico City and Tuxtla caused turbulence, not violent, but enough to cause my nervousness to notch up. As we came down, over and through those mountain ranges, bouncing and sliding back and forth, we popped through those clouds and hit the single runway perfectly! Wow. I had traveled through time, through continents, through cultures, and here I am again!
Isn’t it like this with life? Nervousness, failure to trust, challenges, fear, excitement, new horizons, and finally popping through the dark clouds into calm, and peace.
Here I am Lord, if you need me. I have heard you calling in the night....
