Consider the Ravens...

Today I was driving to work. I had a lot on my mind and was deep in thought. I was also singing to the music on my CD. Hey, I'm a mom, I can do more than one thing at a time!

So I look to my right...I see a Raven flying along side my car right out my window. Ok, it wasn't THAT close but it was as close as another car would have been if there was a lane over there, lol. It wasn't really "flying" so to speak. It was gliding. Weird, I thought. How often do you see one that up close?

A few miles later, it happened again. This one was next to the same side of the car, and then cut across the path of my car and flew away. It was freaky. It seemed like it was gliding in slow motion. I was driving around 65 miles per hour, but saw both it's feet perfectly clear. I'm telling you, it was weird.

Ok. What's up with that? Well, I'll tell you.

There's this verse, or really it's a group of verses, in the bible that talk about not worrying about what you need, that God will take care of you. They came to mind when I saw these birds. There's this song our youth choir sang once called "Weep no More" which talked about the very same bible verses. I have never forgotten that song. Here is the quote from the bible...(I ain't singing the song for you, sorry.)

Luke 12:22- 24....Therefore take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: How much more are you better than the fowls?"

The whole point is, DON'T WORRY about your needs, God will take care of you! I was thinking about where to live and how I was going to pay for it if I found one now....but won't be out of here until June. I wasn't worrying, but I was starting to worry about the fact that I'm not worrying! lol

Really though, I haven't been stressing over it at all. I mean, I've been looking for a place. I haven't found one. There's nothing out there. I need one by June. Normally I'd be worrying about now. This time, I've decided to just say, "God knows my needs. He knows what I need and when I need it. He will provide." Of course I'm not going to sit on my butt until the house comes twirling down from the sky like the one in the Wizzard of Oz and plops down in my lap. I will keep searching. But I refuse to worry.

I'm not one for seeing "signs" in everything, but I certainly think I got some positive reinforcement today.

I think that's pretty cool!

And now I have to go write an email to a friend.

ta ta!
