MountainWings A MountainWings Moment
#4055 Wings Over The Mountains of Life
-------------------------------------------------
Warning Light
=============
Today I was driving in my truck up a busy street,
talking out loud to God, as I sometimes do.
I glanced down at my gas gauge for the 10th time only to see that I was still on empty, and the orange glow of the warning light was still very much glowing at me.
I had been telling God that I didn't know what to do and that I was in need of His wisdom.
My car insurance was due yesterday, my truck payment is 3 months overdue, my cell phone was turned off,
(I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks so that is a big one for me).
I am on medical disability for my anxiety, no job and very broke.
I explained to God that something really needed to change, and that I am at my end and can't do this anymore.
Now, let me explain something to you.
I believe in God. I attend an awesome church but not as
regularly as I should. I have a Bible but don't pick it up to read it as often as I should. I have so many opportunities to attend small group studies with my church and even get togethers, but I don't.
That's when it hit me.
I was running on empty.
My spiritual Warning Light has been glowing orange for months now, and I have just kept on going; filling up just enough to get me by, like I do with my gas tank, fill up with just $10.00 worth of gas to get me to the next week.
I didn't get the meaning of it until today. It hit me.
I was actually having a MountainWings moment, and I was excited.
I pulled over and thanked God for showing me what changes I needed to make, what I had to do to fill myself with spiritual fuel.
It was so simple that I had to laugh about it.
It's amazing how we talk to God, and yet sometimes never really open ourselves to listen for his reply.

This was sent to me by a friend, and as they say, "God works through people, places and things."
It was because of a spiritual awareness like this that brought me to EoR. I know that I can't just 'get by' and that I need spiritual food and I thank you all for being a part of my daily diet.
