"A lost key in
a swarm of mosquitoes"
I've got to tell you about my recent short vacation to South Padre
Island over 4th of July weekend. It's like the flood story in your
book.
I lost the key to our Suburban at a water park riding the rapids
in an inner tube with my family. All money and family belongings
in the car. No spare key.
I sent my wife and kids back to the hotel while I sat barefooted
in a swim suit on the hood of my truck swatting mosquitoes and waiting
for AAA. A small truck drove up from the water park and asked if
I needed help. I shut him down by saying, "No. I'm fine. Waiting
for AAA."
Basically, I was saying go away, God will save me!
God sent me help and I turned it away like one of those boats in
the flood. So I sat alone and waited 400 miles from home in a deserted
parking lot swarming with mosquitoes. I called AAA again and they
said the guy came back because someone had called saying they found
the key. I was livid. I can't even repeat the language I used. How
dare they interfere with my orders! I was in control, didn't they
know that?
I was beyond frustration. First I never lose things. I had secured
the key in my trunks. Nobody had called AAA to turn around and go
home. Why was this happening? And did I mention all the mosquitoes?
Alone in that
deserted parking I finally realized that I had no control over this
situation. Finally, I prayed out loud for God's help. I gave over
my control to Him and I went through some verbal Now or Never and
forgiveness matters and I really detached.
That detachment was like nothing I've known before.
Just then that same small truck came back. I shouted at the truck,
realizing it had to be assistance from God -like the man in the
flood. The driver roared over and this time I asked if they'd found
a Chevy truck key. He gave me insect repellant and went back to
see about the key. He returned in a matter of minutes with the key.
At almost exactly the same time the AAA guy drove up. As well as
a cab delivering my wife and kids.
You talk about
letting go! I felt I turned everything over to God and the single
key which I had "secured" in my swimsuit pocket came back
to me! Miraculously, the key found me. People were sent to my assistance
and the key came back to me.
That experience changed my life. It was a big spiritual convergence
and confirmation of the Universe coming to my assistance.
I'm so thankful it happened.
