I was driving home last night, I think it was sometime after 12:30am. I came to the Balmoral and Harbour Expressway intersection and the light was red, so I stopped. The radio in my van usually doesn’t work, so that night I was singing songs to myself. I think I started with an impromptu version of “Old Sage.”
The left turn signal on the lights turned green, yellow, and then went away. The other lights stayed red.
Then I kept singing and praising God. I started to use the steering wheel as a percussion instrument, while I watched the other cars cross the intersection.
The left turn signal on the lights turned green, yellow, and then went away. The other lights stayed red.
I clicked the radio on and off a few times, but had no luck. A car on the opposite side of the road came and stopped at the intersection. So I became hopeful that maybe now the light will turn green.
The left turn signal on the lights turned green, yellow, and then went away. The other lights stayed red.
Now I’m starting to get frustrated, so I backed up a little. I thought that maybe if I back up enough I can turn down the expressway and take an alternate route home. As I was backing up, I felt pretty silly since I would have to back up quite a bit to get into the right turn lane. And also, turning and going down the expressway would only make it take longer to get home.
The left turn signal on the lights turned green, yellow, and then went away. The other lights stayed red.
Then finally, as I waited at the intersection a blue truck pulled up next to me. The left turn signal on the lights turned green, yellow, and then went away.
The other lights went green.
So I’m thinking to myself that maybe God’s telling me something. To wait here till someone comes, and then he’ll give the green light for us to leave together. It’s foolishness to change direction, that would only make the journey longer, and maybe harder.
Wait patiently, and continue to sing songs, praising Him.
