I really wanted to share some more about Zack’s first birthday party today.  I’m not.  I promise I will tell y’all all about it.

This morning I dropped off my kids at Mama’s and headed to work.  It was raining and just a big mess to drive in.  My wipers were going on high speed.  I was not thrilled to be driving at that particular time.  My windshield fogged over and I was a little frustrated.  I reached down and turned the defrost wide open.  My windshield cleared up instantly.  In that instant God opened my eyes.

You know how our lives are filled with different paths.  Some are “foggy”.  We can’t really see what’s ahead.  We don’t understand why we must follow that path.  We get frustrated and leave God out of the picture completely.  I realized this morning that if my faith in God were like my defrost button and turned wide open, He would clear my fog.  As long as I don’t give God full control of my life and choices everything is just a foggy mess.  The minute I turn everything over to Him I know that what’s ahead will be clear.  I’m not saying that everything I do from now on will be a simple choice or even a clear one.   I’m just saying that I will know what I have done is what He wants me to do. 

Over the past few months I have not been faithful to  God.  I haven’t been to church like I should.  My Bible has probably collected a ton of dust.  I would like to lay blame on the fact that Tyler is just not happy at our church.  He is a tiny bit afraid of the older boys at church.  I want him to be happy when we go.  So, on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings I have not really pushed going.  That is wrong on my part.  That is where my faith in God lacks.  I should have placed this tiny problem in His hands and let Him show us what to do.  Instead I just did what I thought was best and kept Tyler home. 

This morning as my windshield cleared completely, I decided that I will not let trivial things fog my walk with God.  I will let Him guide me and keep my faith wide open so that I will not have a foggy walk.
