It was a beautiful Thursday morning, and for once, in a long time, I didn't rush to school or work. I had time to sit and enjoy a bowl of cheerios. On my way to class, I was able to sip on a mug of hot Starbucks coffee. I decided this particular morning to take it slow, and to remind myself to truly be in the moment. The sun was up, and the wind slightly blew. I had made up my mind, and parked three tiers away from the humanities building (I hate walking a great distance). Soon enough, the clock hit 8:50 and class was over. I made my way through the crowded halls and walked back to the car, someone (who I wished I could thank) drove by blasting Chris Tomlin's new song, "I will Rise".
I couldn’t move. I shut my eyes, and your peace overpowered me. I could feel your sincerity and the realness of you holding my hands. I have been too selfish. Yet, you are still too loving and sent peace through the winds that blew through my hair, and chills went through my arms as my legs weakened. In that moment, I swore the trees bowed and I cried. I wished everyone I loved could feel this way sometimes. If I could share this short moment of peace, I would do whatever it takes, and I would do it one million times over and over again.
The other day, I thought about that one day that God showed me angels do exist. And though I don’t think the guy sitting in that little green Honda, who happened to drive pass me when I was leaving class, is an angel. I still believe God works in the most mysterious ways, in ways that help remind us of his grace. I thought back on that cold night about three years ago, and wondered if that “angel” remembered me. It is a painful memory, yet, a strong story. Ask, and I will share. =)
