Yesterday was going to be one of those days where there were things to get done, but no timeframe for them. I only had one main commitment so all else could easily work around it. Well, the day turned into one interruption after another. I found myself having to try and make things work so I could fulfill the one and only commitment. Along with this my good friend was leading our choir practice last night due to the absence of our worship pastor. He had text me asking that I do the devotions for choir. At the time I thought it was no problem since I had an “easy day” ahead. My only prep for it turned out to be when I drove to the one commitment and home from it. I couldn’t wrap my mind around what I should say but as I drove God informed me. I like to write what I’m going to say so I don’t stray from the topic. This time, God wanted me committed to listening and responding to His Spirit within without script leaving me rather nervous. This morning all I can recall of the moment is doing it. What was said is almost entirely gone from any memory. I just trust that God’s message He wanted spoken was done.

The disruption in my day turned out to be a very simple thing. My pickup had literally died. There was no evidence of life as I turned the key. It’s 22 years old, but when I drove it a few days ago it was working fine. I changed a fuse marked “engine” and it started right up. Once I got to my destination it died again. I had Kathy come and pick me up so I could make it to my one commitment. When I returned I got fuses thinking this is the problem. No luck with that! A mechanic friend stopped by and found the problem–negative cable on the battery was loose. I was seeing thousands of dollars trying to fix the problem. God was just wanting me to trust Him completely in the day–that’s all. What a kind God He is!
