On Tuesdays, I see patients from 9am to 3:30 or 4pm and then I have class from 5-8pm. Last Tuesday, there was a tornado warning for the county that my graduate school is located in as well as the county where I live. There were also heavy rains that began at about 6pm. When I got out of class at 8, I prayed my usual rainy day prayer: "Please, Lord, no wrecks." I don't have the best vision at night anyway, so rain makes me nervous.
That night was different. The rain -which was heavy everywhere else- was light for my entire hour long drive home. And then there was the lightning. Every time I had trouble seeing, lightning would light up the entire sky and allow me to see miles ahead. There are spots in the highway where the road is not clearly marked. Whenever I hit those spots, there was the lightning again. It became increasingly clear that God was, for some reason, blessing me with his very clear presence. I don't know why He did it, but it made my week. I do know that sometimes God uses these moments where I have no other choice than to be still and pay attention to show His mighty presence.
Just a reminder to all of us to be still every once in a while.
