Couldn't Wait to Share

     So, I told you on Friday that I was totally exhausted and needed to hide for a bit. I was soooo looking forward to what God was gonna do. I had big plans for Him! (lol, literally) Dave was off this weekend and I thought it might be nice to go hiking in this beautiful weather and just relax as a family, literally hiding in the mountains where I would be closer to God and nature. Turns out He had a different thing in mind. Dave started running a fever Friday night. He was in bed all day Saturday and continues to be there as I write. So, my big hiking plans were halted. The boys had major cabin fever so we ran some errands and the usual stuff we do on weekends. Ok God where is my hiding??? I am anxiously waiting for you to zap down and cover me with your hand! Last night I had come to the conclusion that I probably wouldn't get that rest I so desperately wanted. I figured I must have missed it while I was busy running errands.
     This morning I woke up knowing I had to go to church and teach 3rd-5th grade kids alone. (Dave is still sick in bed) So I muster up all the "teacher" energy I have and hit the road. When I get to the church there is a sign on the front door that says, "Your kids classes have changed...ask us how." Would you believe the heat went out and all the kids were supposed to stay in the service with the grown ups. So that means that I get to go to church! (Not that I don't love teaching, because I do!) At this point I am at church alone. Nobody in my family is there but little ole me. I don't have to wonder if the boys are getting what they need and if they are listening intently. I am not aware of anything but me and God. Then it happens! I am in my hiding place. Every song that was played was like it was played just for me. Every word that was spoken was just for me. Every scripture that was breathed was for me. For one hour I was transported into a place where Moses had been once. I was up on a hillside waiting for God to pass by and guess what? He did!

God has a way of showing up when he knows I need it most and when I least expect it. It wasn't at all like I planned for it to be. His plans are always so much better than mine. I forget that sometimes, til He reminds me. The above song really hit me hard...enjoy it!
