He's already there!

Here’s a true story of something that happened to me that has helped me tremendously when times get tough. I know this will sound like a good story but I guarantee that every bit of it is totally factual.

At one time I worked for a family that all but adopted me after God delivered me from drugs, booze, etc. I was taking a load of new carpet to a facility they owned in North central Iowa. It was late September as I was on I-35 heading north from De Moines when it started to snow very heavily. Now the trailer I was using was a couple feet shorter than the carpet which wasn’t completely wrapped for protection. The snow was wet and sloppy and I knew that if something didn’t happen fast this carpet could be ruined. I cared very much for this family for their great kindness to me so I started praying for God to do something. I kept praying and speaking God’s word to the storm when I noticed that the clouds were getting lighter but oddly only in a narrow band directly in front of me. Shortly I drove out of the snow but it was snowing like crazy on the left and right sides of the road but not a flake on the road itself. As you can imagine I was shocked and excited. I drove for quite a few miles when it started getting dark and started snowing hard again. Just to show you how graceful God is and how unfaithful I am, the first thought in my head was “hey God what’s the deal here”. Well I thought I’d better start praying again and after a while I see the sky getting light ahead of me again but this time the narrow band in the clouds appeared to be off to the right by a 1/2 mile. Again my faithlessness showed through and I thought “hey God you missed it.” But then I came over a hill and saw that the road curved to the right for 1/2 mile and then back left and I drove under the band of light clouds again. Again it was snowing on the left and snowing on the right with not a flake on the road. It's hard to explain my feelings by that time but I can assure you I was in a state of awe and joy. Then I hear His voice in my mind saying “Galen I know where you are, I know where you’re going, and I’m already there”
Not much more I can say other than He is better and has better for us than we can imagine. May God's peace purchased for you through Jesus, be with you always.
