Early Morning Drives and Braclets

My day starts before the crack of dawn. My alarm goes off 4 and I get in my car about 10 till 6 for my shift. It is not easy but I can do it and being off at 2 is a perk. 

Music is a big a part of my life. It seems to be more even more so now. When I drive and listen to my music, I feel the very presence of God in a tangible way. There are songs that play from my phone on my way into work that are exactly what I need for that moment and that day. 

I wear a lot of bracelets... I have one that simply reads "God Is In Control" and F.R.O.G. (Fully Rely On God." and I have bracelets that have Bible verses on them. These give me visual cues that help me focus on God when I get anxious and things simply get to feel too much for me. I am a very visual person and this is actually sometime a former therapist had suggested for me and I still use it today because I feel how well it works for me. 

God uses different ways to connect to connect with His children in a way that unique for them. For me, it just so happens to be music and bracelets, and yes even early morning drives. What does God use to reach you when you need Him the most. 

There is song by Mandisa called God Speaking and it talks about how God will use anything to get a whole of us... and some of these are unexpected. As you listen to the song, think of ways how God meets you in expected ways.
