Yesterday was a horrible stormy day. Our province pretty much shut down. The schools, the Dr.s offices, Banks, most businesses, etc. It was a day you were glad you didn't have to go anywhere. I mean looking out my front window I couldn't see the neighbors across the street, it was miserable. I was in the kitchen and listenong to a song on the radio that talked about things happening in a man's life and in the world and he kept singing. "I guess God was too busy" I felt the song implied that God was too busy to care. And then the phone call came, the one you don't like to hear. "Cheryl, it's mom, first of all, she's okay but Amanda has been in an accident." Amanda is my niece. I get a beep, it's my sister and she is panicked and my heart is racing. Amanda was on the 101 Highway when she lost control of her vehicle and flipped the car. Could I please go get her because my sister can't get to her. So, I get my new car out that hubby gave me for Christmas and headed off out into the storm. I mean I am thankful for a car that seems to drive like a tank! I found her off into the ditch, the car sitting on the passenger side. Amanda had been hanging by her seatbelt. She had managed to call her mom before dropping her cell phone out of reach. Help had arrived by this time and a passerby had stopped to help her out of the car. I thank God because if she had tried to reach her cell phone or get out of the car it would have rolled down further and probably landed submerged in the snow on the hood. She would not have been able to get out and at that angle no one would have seen her. But I know for a fact that God was on the 101 Highway yesterday and I have no doubt that God is exactally where He is wanted, needed and invited at all times. I know that He is also where He isn't wanted or invited, He just remains at a distance. Waiting, and waiting just to be invited. I am grateful that everyday, every moment I know where God is!
