GOD IS SO GOOD

Truly, God has been so good to me! There are so many times that God is at work in my life and I rationalize it as being lucky or things just falling into place. Today I had an experience that was truly a God thing or a "God Wink" as my dear friend Patsy calls it. As many of you know, I struggle with a lot of anxiety, especially when I feel trapped...in traffic, a class, a meeting...you name it. It makes me physically ill and has become something that I fear. Yes, I know this seems weird and irrational, but this is real to me.

Well, several of my small group friends know how extremely stressed out I was last night knowing that I had to be at a meeting in DC today at 10:00. I spent so much time trying to plan the best time to leave and the best route to take so that I could avoid traffic as much as possible. I was in tears last night and could hardly sleep thinking about it. Before we went to sleep last night, my amazing husband said a prayer for me and actually asked God, that if it be His will, to keep people from going to work while I was on my way. I thought his prayer was very sweet but was thinking to myself how unrealistic that scenario was.

I got up extremely early (for me) this morning, hoping to beat the rush. I was so worried about the unknown of being on 66 through Arlington heading to DC. To my surprise, I was one of just a handful of cars on that stretch of road!! I was on Constitution only 35 minutes after leaving my apartment in Herndon!! Of course I had two hours to kill before my meeting, but I would much rather be sitting in a hotel sipping on my Starbucks than sitting in traffic anyday. I know this is hard to understand without experiencing the anxiety yourself, but I have to give God all the glory for watching over me once again despite my lack of faith. Thank you, God, for blessing me over and over when I do not deserve it!

Do any of you have any "God Wink" stories to share?
