Thank you Jesus for another day! I’m writing early today because it seems I have plenty of time to kill while I wait for our passports to be produced. Thank you all for praying, while the process is a bit tedious it has been quite smooth!
Our largest hurdle was finding the correct building. We began at the right street and number, but it was SW instead of NW – yikes! Thankfully, we were a bit early. The website says if you are more than 15 minutes late you have to reschedule your appointment. As I am learning to do these days, I stopped to pray first – asking for the Lord to get us there on time and to be able to get our passports today – AND to keep my cool.
As always, God is good. Mom is with me so she was able to navigate. When we got close we saw a police officer and he directed us to nearby parking, and then as we headed out of the parking deck I saw a woman headed for the same elevator. That little voice in my head said “ask her for directions” – I ignored it at first but the Holy Spirit is a persistent fellow; so, as we all approached the elevator I asked if she could tell me where the Passport Agency was located. Guess what her response was? “Oh yes, I work in that building, just follow me.”
Follow me… Doesn’t that cover so many things? Thank you Jesus for answering my prayers so specifically. I am reminded that while I often cannot see even the next step, if I will keep my eyes on Jesus and listen when He says “follow me” I don’t have to be able to see the next step. I just need to see Him.
That makes me think of Peter, asking Jesus to let him walk on the water. I pray I will continue to have the faith to walk on this water. Even as the storm rages and the waves are big. I pray I will keep my eyes on Jesus. I am far from perfect and sometimes my eyes slip, but like Matt 14:31 says, Jesus always reaches out IMMEDIATELY to save me.
Matthew 14:
27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” 28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” 29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted. 31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”
I pray for any of you who read this today, that you will find it in you to hope and believe. To trust that the Lord is good. It’s ok if you can’t see the big picture, God can.
Until tomorrow,
