As I was driving back to South Carolina (home) today, I knew I needed some "me" time. The next 2 hours would be quiet moments for me. I'd purchased some music recently and I was ready to hear some of the relaxing tunes. But a last minute choice reminded me, once again, that I was not in control.
Instead of the music I'd envisioned, I put my iPod on shuffle. The songs that came on next were those of inspiration, guidance and strength. Each melody drew a memory and a tear quickly followed. Soon, the tears made way for smiles and even some chuckles, as I remembered the person I was when I first heard some of those songs.
Despite the crazy looks I must have been getting from the drivers around me, I knew in an instant this was God "driving" me home. Driving me to the place that I miss the most and to my sweet little "k" and my awesome husband ... yet not letting me forget the places I have been in my life.
I also realized that every once in a while, I need to "shuffle". I need to stop letting myself push play and leave a little to ...hmm, what shall I call it ... chance? No. I think we call that faith.
My heart2heart is that you find your "shuffle", whatever way it comes to you. It's no surprise it came to me in the form of music. But my surprise was that I heard it. Or rather, I heard Him.
And by the way God (I know He is reading this!) ... thanks for Your playlist. It got me safely where I needed to go ~ As You knew it would.
