~ GPS ~God's Perfect Steps ~
Having just returned from vacation last night, I am staring at a extremely large pile of laundry and suitcases to unpack, so, thought I'd share something funny that happened this week ~ just to find an excuse to prolong my "I ain't doing nothing vacation" for a couple more hours :)
Since I am used to a my king sized bed, and, my own puffy blankets, I was awake each morning early ~ so, I snuck out to get fattening donuts that really should be eaten only on vacations.
For some reason one morning I got extremely turned around, and, ended up at an end of Williamsburg VA, that I had not seen and had absolutely no clue how to get to where I belong. And, the honest truth is......I had a GPS right there in the car with me, and, still had no idea where to turn!
I have to admit, I giggled to myself with each wrong turn and strange sight.......who gets lost when they have a little machine that will tell them when and where to turn???!!!! Only I could boast such a feat ~ I still smile now at the thought.
As I sat at a stop light, feeling very tempted to just push a button on that machine and see what would happen, I found myself thinking of all the times I was so lost, unsure where to go, and, the Lord's guidance was right there ~ all I had to do was reach out and trust His Lead. And, I prayed that I be more aware of His GPS and less trusting of my own ways ~ 'cause, they just don't seem to get me where I need to be.
When I finally made it home, just in time to wake myhusband up for a conference call, laughing so hard at myself I could barely tell the story ~ my husband said, "Well, why didn't you just follow the GPS?" I could only answer that I had no clue how to use that thing and then agreed that I'd listen this time when he tried to show me.
God, may I find myself more willing to use your Perfect Steps guidance ~ they are the only way I will get where you want, and, MADE me to go
