Lil Green Bug

This was on of my first experiences that made me think I wanted to start writing what God shows me. Oddly enough it's from June of 2008. Some of you have read it before, but I wanted to put it here with my other treasured thoughts. I hope you like it........

This morning the Lord gave me an object lesson. I wanted to share it with you. Just to give you some background, I have had one of the worst weeks of my life. I think I've been saying that for 8 months now. The stress and strain is really sitting with me.

I get in my car to go to work, stressed as all get out. Just going through the motions to get through the day. I see this little odd green bug on my windshield. Ok, so I pull out of my drive way, down the street. I'm thinking by the time I get to the next block, he will have flown off. Not true. He hung in there. I turned on to Hillsborough going 45 miles and hour, thinking this is where he's going to fly off. He has little antana's and there just blowing in the wind. You can tell he's struggling, but he is repositioning his stance. He is stretching one leg, (he had 4 legs) and he does this with each leg and then he hunkers down again. I go 55mph to see how much he can take. I also said "Lord if this bug flies off the windshield I'm going home". He did get to where he was really struggling, so I slowed down. He is still struggling, but not to the point where I'm afraid he will fly off and die. He made it all the way to my job. I was so proud of him. His perseverance took him some place he would have never been able to get too.

I've been asking God alot lately, "don't you see what's happening? I can't do this. I'm not strong enough. I'm not going to make it." I believe I've been going 55 mph on the windshield of God's car. He sees how much I am struggling. He also sees when I'm about to fly off, so he slows down. He doesn't stop until we get where were going.

I know I'm not there yet, but I do know I won't be able to get there without him.
