It has been one of those weeks, in terms of driving in the city. Between getting lost, road rage, parking tickets, and maybe a few bad words, I am sick and tired of driving in and around Dallas, Texas.
My best friend Allee goes to Georgia Tech in Atlanta, so I have driven down there plenty of times to go visit her. Because of these visits and other random trips to Atlanta, I have gotten lost enough to have a pretty good sense of where I'm going when I'm in downtown Atlanta.
Now here I am in Dallas, and I'm back at square one. It's a whole new set of roads, interstates, and confusing intersections.
On the way to a friend's house last night, the Lord began to calm my frustration. I looked up, and the sky was beautiful. Here is a small glimpse of what I saw >>>
It seems that whenever I'm having a rough day or week, God displays His creation in ways that continue to blow my mind, in ways that continue to endear me to His heart.
I think part of it is that I'm also missing the country-having space and seeing stars. Then, get this, I was on the phone late last night, and I saw the longest, most gorgeous shooting star that I have ever seen (obviously I didn't get a picture of that haha).
God, you are too good to me.
All I can do was smile and thank Him. Yes, things like traffic and missing the country are trivial, but God cares about even the smallest things in our lives. He cares enough to send beautiful clouds and shooting star to remind me that He is sovereign and in control.
