Cracking Up at a Crosswalk...

      So this past weekend I was privileged to be able to travel to Savannah, GA for a childhood friend's wedding . :-) It was beautiful as always, but I was especially stoked about the fact that Mom and Dad were kind enough to go over to Tybee Island with me so that I could spend a few hours on the beach!!  (Since I didn't get to go with them this past summer because I was out in Seattle working.) However, one of the most meaningful parts of the weekend for me was Saturday evening as we were walking from where the wedding had been held to the restaurant where the reception was going to be. It was just a couple blocks away, but there was this one major intersection that we had to cross to get there, so a bunch of us all ended up standing there on the corner together. So let me paint the picture of this for you-- you know how when you are standing at a crosswalk, they have the WALK and DON'T WALK symbols as well as the button that you press to let it know that you are waiting to cross? Ok, Well this one not only had all that, but it spoke too....Oh yes! We are standing there when suddenly, I realize that I am hearing this voice coming from the crosswalk box. And it says, "Wait.....wait.....wait.....wait.....wait.....wait.....wait.....wait.....wait...." and all of a sudden I realize, you know what??? This is the exact perfect illustration of my life right now!! Then I just started cracking up, laughing out loud at the fact that God had just spoken to me using crosswalk box. Hahaha. I just love how God breaks out into the ordinariness of our lives to speak to us in memorable and extraordinarily creative ways!! :-) HE IS JUST THE COOLEST EVER!! I love you, Jesus!! :-) Thanks for always being there for me! Help me to continue to delight in Your Presence...You are so amazing, full of glory, and worthy of honor. It is in You that we live and move and have our being. Continually draw us towards You and Your love. Guide us, teach us, lead us. It's in Your Precious Holy Name that we pray this. Amen. :-)
