What do 911, heavy snow, a minivan, cancelled church services, cancelled choir practice, and panic have in common? They all play a part in my first Sunday in April in northern Michigan. After Sunday morning services, I drive home, grab dinner, and take off to get back to church for choir practice. As I left church the snow was coming down heavily. There were near white out conditions driving and the wet, heavy snow made the roads incredibly slippery. I came upon the scene of a rollover. No one was badly hurt, but I called 911 and got the people in the church minivan that I was driving so they could warm up. Shortly thereafter the emergency vehicles arrived so I continued my journey home. The usual hour drive home took me nearly 2 hours! I was really needing the choir rehearsal for the Easter program. I have been waiting on the soundtrack to one of the songs. It had finally arrived and I was going to rehearse it, assign all of the solos, trios, duets, etc. Now I have only two rehearsals before the program to learn the new song, finish learning the other songs, get the solos, duets, and trios assigned and learned. Choir rehearsal and church had to be cancelled due to the inclement weather. What is God doing? Oh, well. I guess I might as well sleep. Impossible. Too many things running through my mind. This is where I learn to trust God. He knows what He's doing. This Easter program is His anyway; not mine. I'm just thankful for the opportunity to be a part of it. I give it all to God. We're doing it as an outreach to people that wouldn't come to a normal preaching service. God knew I needed the day of rest more than anything and He gave it to me. I am resting in Him to do what is best and to bring about the results that glorify Him the most.

Great perspective and focus! You are using wisdom. (Wisdom Lit? :P) So thankful to see how God is working in your life. I'm glad God isn't just at GBS. :)
