Blue Light Special


Blue lights behind me last night…
I glance down. Not speeding.

I’m on the phone with one of my best buds, Tonya.
I hang up on her.

Blue lights. Yes, definitely trying to pull me over.

I take off my seat belt to reach my driver’s license in my purse on the floor. Oh golly, miss molly, why did I take off my seat-belt? Why, why, why???

God help me. I pass out in situations like this. HELP ME LORD.

State Trooper approaches.  Oh Lord, help me for real. There are TWO STATE TROOPER VEHICLES BEHIND ME.

Good evening sir. Was I speeding? I never speed. My husband wouldn’t even believe me if I told him I got a speeding ticket. A little verbal diarrhea going on here…

Oh no mam. Your lights weren’t on, it's drizzling and getting dark. A little foggy. Just want you to keep safe this weekend.

Whew.

Thank you sir for caring. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. As I grabbed his hand and prayed for him. I was so thankful, I didn’t want to let him go! He was probably a little freaked out at this point, just sayin'.

Where are you going mam?

I’m on my way home.

Ok- Keep your lights on.

His message- I sincerely believe from the throne zone, KEEP YOUR LIGHTS ON! It is drizzling, getting dark out there, and a little foggy.

To be honest, I didn’t even see the fog.

It wasn’t even all that dark.

I usually keep my lights on auto. That's where they belong my husband tells me. He's right.

That State Trooper spoke in love, and gave me a verbal warning. And I received it- a little deeper probably than he intended.

Keep your lights on, shining brightly- as you are traveling home.

Direction, protection, projection, revelation.

Only Him.

Got it. Love You Lord.

And Tonya… I called her back! Nothing like a conversation filled with laughs, Jesus and blue lights!

Isaiah 60:19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
