Driving

I drive to work each day and it takes me about one hour to get there. It gives me time to pray and to connect to the world around me. I watch the same people drive the same way at the same time each day. It makes me think about the benefits and down falls of living in a big city. I think about how God must feel when I try to talk to Him.


I see the freeway in His mind and how it intersects like a spider web that is so beautiful to Him, but to the human eye is so confusing. Where do I turn today? I think about which fork in the road is the right one to take today. He knows that He can make good of all the forks, but I still always wonder if I’ve taken the right one or not.

The web of life is so interesting in that it allows me to grow into my own skin. The choices I made create a web that is interesting and unique to me. The same applies to all of us. It allows me to accept who I am and what choices I’ve made in this life.

Isn’t that what God does? Doesn’t He always accept me where I am on the journey? He allows me to grow in my love for Him, in my love for others and my love for myself. He may ask more of me than I can give at the moment, but He never stops loving me if I can’t give it right at that moment. He allows the seed to be watered by Him, by the others He puts in my life and by me and my life experiences.

He waits patiently as I figure out the web that I’ve created for myself. He allows me to come to Him at my own pace and in as much traffic as I create for myself on this freeway of life. He allows me to drive the freeways at my own pace, but He created so many people on the freeway that connect to me and allow me to see Him so that I can become the person He wants me to be.

Oh how grateful I am to be on the freeway of life that allows me the hour each day to reflect on God’s love for me.

Peace and talk to you again soon,

Eileen
