Richard and I have also had our house up for sale for that same amount of time with no buyers. We have our finances in order, have a great house or two we might attempt to purchase, but ours won't sell. Trapped!
And then this morning, we had a delayed start due to the ice. I left an hour and a half early thinking that would be plenty of time, but I came up on a wreck. I was pretty far back and couldn't see anything, but I could see no one was moving. I sat there for about 10 minutes and then panicked. I had to be at work in 50 minutes and we still weren't moving! I was TRAPPED!!
I sat there with streams of tears rolling down my face as I had to surrender to the fact that I am not in control. I am sure the people around me were thinking I was nuts. It was a simple traffic jam, but for me it was a mountain of feelings all revolving around being unable to move. I prayed and gained some composure and then called my school, who was so nice and more worried about me and my safety then me being late. Eventually, other cars started turning around and driving on the shoulder of the road the opposite direction, so I followed suit and finally got to work an hour and a half later, only 15 minutes late!
I know this season is here for a specific purpose and I pray that I will trade in my feelings of boundedness for those of freedom and thankfulness, because God does soooo much for me on a daily basis!
