At the Stop Light

        Have you ever stopped at a stop light and thought about it more then just lights on a wire telling you what to do? I had a moment this week (Tuesday) that was funny when it happened but as I kept thinking about it that day and this week and see what God is telling me to do I see it was no accdient at all.
        I was half a hour late coming back from the denist. I had my appointment time set at 9:00 but didn't get in until about 9:30 and of course I was complaining in the back of my mind because I had someplace else to be. Well, after what happened at the stop light that was a God moment keeping me back for that long. I was driving home from my appointment and took the exit that I usually take to my apartments and next thing I know there was someone that I knew driving past me and stopping at the stop light on down the road. I thought nothing of it but when I turned and went to that same stop light, it was green for the both of us so we couldn't stop, but I noticed if we would have stopped I would have been right by that person I knew.
         I won't tell you the whole story about this person but we don't live that far away from each other yet we don't see each other at all. This person has been on my heart lately too just to pray for and wondering what's up. I was thinking how neat it would be if we actually got to stop. This is the 2nd stop light in 2 months that this has happened so I swear next stop light it will be red. :) When I got back to my apartment and all that day and the day after I was thinking about how God has used that moment or will use that moment in my life. Then it hit my when I was thinking about being pro-active in my friendships and job and just life in general.
          The lights on the stop light can mean different things in our walk with Christ. It is funny because I can see this in the friendship that I'm in right now of the person I passed at that stop light.
Red-Stop and Pray
Yellow-Slow down or wait even if it does take 5 years or a week. You could be on yellow for a long time. Just think if we sat at a yellow light for a long time that would get boring and we would start to doubt like we do in life.
Green-Go when God tells you to go.
            I want to write my own "Stop Light Prayer" and maybe I will but I just wanted you all to know how God has been working in my life this week. If that isn't enough. He gave me a chance, yesterday, to help this friend out with something that means a lot to the friend. Now my only question is: When and How? It is like I was praying, "God, if I can help this friend out let me know" and I know I prayed it awhile back. It is like God answering now, "You can help the friend in this way. Now, Go and Support."
