The Little Things

God is so concerned with everything that goes on in our life – even the little things. To be very truthful, the last week of getting ready for this trip that we’re on right now had been stressful for me. It seemed like there was so much to do. That, and the fact that we were leaving our house again for the first time since it had been broken into. I was nervous about leaving, longing for a modicum of normalcy and just very very tired. Frankly, I had a bad attitude. So I got my attitude fixed, got everything pulled together and we left. Travel was good. The weather was supposed to be terrible but we didn’t have any problems with it. Saturday as we neared our destination, James called the pastor to find out where we were supposed to be for the night. He had gotten us into a very nice hotel in Ocean City, MD. Because it was the off season we were able to be in an ocean side room with a balcony! (of course it was in the 20’s that night with quite a breeze so we didn’t spend much time outside enjoying it!). Sunday morning we got up and thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise over the ocean. If I’d have stayed home like I wanted I would have completely missed this!

Monday, our route took us down through Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia on Hwy. 13. (They call the region “Delmarva” a combination of all three names since the states are only a few miles from one to the other.) Ever since I’ve known him, James has talked about his time of living in Virginia Beach. We didn’t have time to stop but we did get to drive through on our way. Our way also took us across the Chesapeake Bay, Bridge Tunnel complex! Wow! I’ve seen documentaries about this and heard so much about it! It is an amazing thing! And we got to cross it! If I’d stayed home I wouldn’t have been able to participate in this either!

So God, who is faithful, had it all under control. The trip that I viewed as being too difficult to go on has turned into a trip filled with marvelous blessings. There have been other things, too, where God has blessed. He is so faithful to make our way easier, with just a few little things.
