Divine intervention

A funny thing happened yesterday. I know I have been whining about the tension with my family in Florida and I have truly been praying about how to handle it. I just couldn't muster the courage to call Florida for fear of being yelled at, falsely accused, etc.. When I got home from school yesterday, my caller I.D. showed that I had received a call from my parents home and my sister's in Sarasota. No messages were left, so normally, I would have ignored it. If you don't leave a message, I assume there is no reason to call back. With all of the tension, I thought, perhaps, there was something wrong, or better yet, someone actually wanted to talk to me. I called my parents house and nobody had called me . It was an alright call. No emergency, no news, just a simple call. Nobody asked about my family and I did not ask about the status of things there. Yet, still, we touched base. I guess that is all that is required right now. The ice was broken. Thanks God, I needed that.

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe said "God is in the details". I just love that . He is in the details of me checking my phone. He is in the details. The things I don't think about, I just do them. I think I need to pay more attention.
