As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. Ecclesiastes 11:5-6

TRUE! 

My blue Subaru tail lights went out last night – I started seeing a guy in a jeep flash his lights at me from behind – you know I got nervous being 9pm at night – but also wondered if he was just warning me – but I didn’t think I had anything dragging out the back – or had a seltzer can on my roof like I did the day before (oops, I realized after 30 miles that I put it up there – slowed down and opened my sunroof and it slid back and into my car – haha – still an inch of water in it! no, I didn’t drink it). I wondered, last night, why he was warning me but just drove couple more blocks – and then got up my nerve to take my turning lane and he pulled next to me. He said my tail lights were out – OH! WOW! – I wasn’t scared anymore and I thanked this man for his kindness – and his warning and I thank the Lord that I had to get over my fear to hear it. Yeah.  He commiserated with me – while waiting for the light to change – my headlights worked but my taillights didn’t. Maybe a fuse… WEIRD… Maybe God was pre-playing with my schedule for today… Maybe we just don’t know how God works. Ah, yeah!

See – I do need to stay home today both to keep focusing on writing a big work report – and how convenient that there are very very few meetings on my calendar – and how convenient that I get back 2 hours not commuting to both spend time with my cat outdoors (it’s beautiful 75 degrees now at 8AM) – AND I have my last night of VBS crafts tonight – whew – I am that VBS kind of tired but God worked in a nap for me yesterday too – I am SO GRATEFUL! God works it ALL in… Just keep riding His Wave.

So the tail lights? I see it as an opportunity to remove my guilt from choosing to do a WFH day, I HAVE to have tail lights fixed. As I took the heavy trunk contents out of my trunk and slammed the hatchback, one of the 2 tail lights came back on – Hmmm…  good – and hmmmm…  going to take it to a repair place today – locally – and the fear? none – I got that extended extended warranty… because with electronics like this, you never know…  Especially when God can short circuit a fuse just to slow you down. That’s wisdom to realize God works in mysterious ways. 

And now I will keep working – morning, day and night – it is a GREAT VBS week – I have been enjoying the crafts and the sweetest of kids – and even the Queen of Sheba came to visit her friend King Solomon, she wanted to gain HIS Wisdom!!!  She said: “PRAISE BE TO THE LORD!” Thanks Lord…  And VBS is doing GREAT! fun fun! (This is a friend’s church – we are pinch hitter people – ready to help. Yesterday making a Shield of Faith and Helmet of Salvation – which I told the kids it rhymes with Vacation – “S” for “JESUS’ SAVE” – so Salvation = Jesus saving us from our sins to go forever on vacation with Him eternally = Salvation). Keep sowing those seeds…

Amen

Solomon said (Ecclesiastes 11:6): “Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.”

1 Kings 10:10 The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon
When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relationship to the Lord, she came to test Solomon with hard questions. Arriving at Jerusalem with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all that she had on her mind. Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her. When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built, the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed. She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth you have far exceeded the report I heard. How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the Lord’s eternal love for Israel, he has made you king to maintain justice and righteousness.” And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. Never again were so many spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
