Foggy Path

The girls and I spent the day with my sister and mom. We had a long fun day of swimming and just being together. My sister announced that she is being deployed to Guam in about a month. Kevin had to work so he drove up separate later on. My mom lives about an hour away from us and by the time we left it was after 11pm. I can not see well in the dark to drive and my fan for my air and defrost is broken so my window was fogging up so it was extra hard to see. It was humid and sticky out but it was too chilly for me to have the windows all the way down. I was fine when we were on the highway because I was behind Kevin the whole way but once we were off the highway we got separated.

I instantly felt myself starting to panic. I am terrified of night driving (one of my many fears) mostly because you never know if the person coming at you is drunk...but that's another story. So Kevin wasn't in front of me and I couldn't see, my window was super foggy, the road had recently been repaved and the lines weren't there to help guide me in my distress. I set a goal for myself to get to Lincoln Lake road because then I knew I was almost home! It got harder and harder to see probably because of my panic in reality. I needed Kevin, I needed to be able to see him right in front of me; to guide me home. To guide me to my goal. I depended on him to be the light that I felt I needed.

This situation reminded me of how we should depend and trust God. He is the ever present light. The guide through the foggy night. When we can't see we need to know that he's just up ahead making the path more clear for us. Even when we can't see the lines in the road he's always there we just need to trust him to be the light to guide us to our goal ahead and to trust that he'll get us there safely.
