I Miss Driving!!!

I Miss Driving!!! 

I used to love to go out anywhere and sing praises to Jesus wherever I went and get time listening to worship music in the car. Nothing like getting sweet time with Him that way. I even came to love having traffic here in Chicago because I had more time to worship Jesus. 

When driving along worshiping I would often see things in the sky or next to me that I was singing about. I would be singing, "I'll fly away" and right then see a flock of birds take off. Once I was singing something about lifting high the cross, only to look up and see a cross in the sky made of clouds. Another time I was singing one of my favorite songs, "Shadows" by David Crowder Band. I was on an outreach in Israel, and this song's lyrics encouraged me greatly out there when we had a lot of often violent opposition to our message about Jesus as the Messiah. My favorite part said, "When Shadows fall on us, we shall not fear, we will remember, we are resting in the shadow of the cross." On that campaign in Israel I was singing that song while lying down at rest time. I looked up and saw a cross-shaped shadow right above my head. I was truly "resting in the shadow of the cross." God makes things like that happen all the time!!! He is so loving!!!
Here is that song by one of my favorite bands,  David Crowder, mixed with a great song by Lecrae, one of my other favorite artists who sang this together at a Passion Conference:

One of my favorite things to do in the same vein was to praise God with loud worship music while driving and shifting to the left lane, and putting the car on cruise control, and putting one of my hands up in the air and looking up in the sky, praising my King and trusting Him to protect me. He always did, no matter how long I looked up!!!  There is somewhere where God told us many times in the Bible "do not fear" and He helped me not have to while praising Him, it was perfectly safe with His loving arms!!!
