Getting A Point Across

After writing about walls, and the stuff I am dealing with right now, I was trying to work through it that afternoon and the steps I need to take to start bringing my heart back to a spot where it can trust again, where I can find peace, and where I can get back in align with where I need to be with God.  I was in my car coming home from town, and praying, asking God for help, asking Him to show me what I needed to do, where I needed to start.  As always, I had my radio on.  I wasn't paying attention to the song playing because I was talking to God about how I really needed some guidance and help with my life.  I asked what do I need to do to take the first step to start this process, and it was like the radio volume went up four notches as I heard the words from this song, about half way through.....SLOW DOWN.  SLOW DOWN. 





Oh, guess you got your point across on that one, God.  Funny how I hadn't heard any of the song before, and just as I ask, the words SLOW DOWN come blaring across my radio.  No, He wasn't referring to my driving either, because I was sitting at stop light!  It was a definite, immediate answer to my question.  As I said in that post, slowing down is something that is difficult for me.  If I keep busy, keep going, I don't have to deal with the hurt, the pain.  I know that's wrong and I know to heal, I have to work through the pain and get on with life.  I started some of the process the past couple days.  It hasn't been easy.  Painful, as a matter of fact.  But it's a process, and I have God beside all the way. 


It seemed for the next ten miles home, God gave me one song after another that all addressed my prayers.  I have always loved music, although not musical myself.  I always pay close attention to the words, as well, even on songs I have never heard before.  When we did youth ministry, we used a lot of music to bring across a point to the kids.  I guess since God knows that music is one venue I do pay a lot of attention to, He would get His point across to me that way.  This song played just as I entered our town.
