I Peeled Out!!

Lounging in my chair looking out into the yard I spot a pair of small doves. They look and sound as if they could be young lovers with their low “cooing, who whoing”. They stay close together never pecking far from the other they almost look as if they are dancing. I close my eyes and talk to God while listening to them sing.

My conversations with God lately have been about the anxiety and insecurity I’m feeling about the upcoming writers/speakers conference I’m attending. I want God to know I’m all in for HIM!! As I focus on scripture that is encouraging, my mind stops at the verses in the bible that talk about running a race, pressing on toward the goal, and leaving the past behind. As I recline, eyes closed I feel as if the clock is ticking and I’m at the starting line about take off, when suddenly, I hear those two love doves take off and their singing turns into a sound like tires peeling out! As I laugh at the uncanny sound my mouth also stays upturned in a huge smile that lingers while I think of how God just showed up by combining verse, thought, and bird sound! He is creative like that!!
