A Ride in the Fog

          The other night I had to travel with Kimberly out to the high school in Rossville. We are in the middle of competition season and I needed to rehearse a song the girls are doing this Saturday.
          When we left our house at about 5:30 it was already quite foggy. Yup, it is January and we have crazy weather in Indiana! Last week it was absolutely freezing out... Monday I went outside without a coat because it was so warm… and tomorrow it will be back in the 20s.
          When we were done with the practice we got in the van to return home. By then the fog was really dense and I drove much slower to accommodate. When we reached the city limits it was rather eerie as from the road you could not even see buildings or houses that you knew were there. Even though I was familiar with the roads and turns, I was glad to pull into the garage and be done driving in that pea-soup!
          Made me think of this season I find myself in. Tim and I are in a waiting phase as we anticipate God’s direction as to what is next. There are days that I feel like I am going about in pretty thick fog.
          The wonderful thing about this ride in the fog is that I am not driving and navigating by myself. I have One who loves me, knows every curve and turn, and is giving me step by step directions as He guides me safely through paths that are hard for me to see. I just need to quietly listen to His voice.
 “How gracious He will be when you cry for help!
As soon as He hears, He will answer you…
Whether you turn to the right or to the left,
your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying
 ‘This is the way: walk in it’.”
Isaiah 30:19 and 21
