Weary from travel, though all was fun, we decided to go ahead and
drive home. It's just that we left about 4 hours later than we originally
intended, even knowing rain was a possibility to the north of us. Factor in
dismissal time at Fort Campbell and stress becomes an added factor. I wasn't
even driving but when the possible rain turned into thunderstorms which
deserved a numerical rating, if their was such, for ferociousness of such a
storm, I noticed my shoulders were up around my ears and my hands were gripping
the "chicken bar."
Cell service was sketchy on the rural back roads but
one came through from my prayer warrior, JoLynn, ending with her addition of the praying hands,

What an encouragement to me. I had been "shooting up"
panic prayers as well but her note had me calming immediately.
I felt like I received another "God Wink" when we passed
this truck as we drove out of the bad weather and got closer to HOME!!!
From the back of an 18 wheeler, I was given a BIG God Wink.
Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:6)
What a reminder that the Lord was "near" in the midst of the storm, honoring my "yes" answer to the truck's question, "Did you pray today?"
How grateful I am that I could say "yes" because I did choose to pray!
