It’s in the times that we least expect it that we often hear from God and have the most amazing God moments.
The last few months, I’ve had t make weekly drives to Winnipeg – often by myself. These drives have been LONG and daunting. Three hours one way. I’m often on the road longer than I am actually in the city. Through it all, these times have also become some of the best times I have had with God. There’s nothing around to distract me. It’s just me and God. In my car. Loving. Singing. Breathing. Praying. Listening.
There have been times that the weather hasn’t been the best, and I spend the entire trip crying out to God to keep me safe and for strength to press on, even when I feel like I cannot go on anymore. To some of you, this may not seem like a big deal. To me, it’s a big deal. I never would have seen myself doing this a few
years ago. I’m still scared to drive, but do it because I have to and
can’t keep relying on others to get me from place to place.One particular trip was done early in the morning. It was foggy, raining, dark and windy. Not my idea of a “fun” drive. I was SCARED. I did not want to make the trip. I would have rather been in bed. However, I did. Not on my own, but with God. His loving arms were wrapped around me

It’s through these times – the storms and long drives that I’ve been able to admire God’s creation in a way I never would have seen or experienced otherwise – the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, colours of fall and gorgeous blankets of snow.
I’ve been mesmerized. It’s times like this that reminds me how GREAT our God is and how BLESSED I am to be HIS child. It’s the little things. We take it for granted until we see it in a new light. When we can’t do anything BUT drive and let God have control of the wheel.

I find myself trying to find God in the little things that surround me, no matter where I am or what I am doing. He has given me eyes to see and ears to hear, so why not use them!? I am amazed at who HE is and what he is doing in my life – and knowing that this is still JUST THE BEGINNING!
