Pondering our situation and asking for clarity as I sat at a red light amidst the construction, mountains of dirt and backup of traffic, my eyes wandered to the underpass just to my right. Of course I have known it was being built for months but I had never seen it from this perspective. It was like discovering an underground lost city or Atlantis, a perfectly constructed passageway amidst all the rubble and traffic jams in my every day life. In about a month there will be no more waiting at this light. There will be a free and easy way through; in fact within a year an entire freeway will be finished, cutting my time to town in half. I will have more freedom and opportunity and my social life will be broadened just cutting down on travel time. And it has been built in the dark, while I sleep, by hundreds of workers I have never even seen.
God is working the same way in my life. I may not see it because I'm so worried about the problems and setbacks we are encountering, working out the tangles slowly but surely, and just waiting, frustrated, wanting a way around all this mess. But He is making a way for us to get to our destination. Giving us more freedom, orchestrating relationships yet to be and opportunities yet to discover. And now that I have caught a glimpse of it I have begun to dream of a fun and fabulous new year.
