A Question Answered...

 I was on my morning walk around campus and it is a beautiful day.  I don't mind the colder weather and absolutely love seeing the moon in the morning sky.  The sun is amazing, but the moon is my favorite thing to look at.  I don't really know why but it just captivates me.  Sorry that was a squirrel moment, so back to the story.  On my way back to my office I ask God a simple but heartfelt question.  "Is my father and sister in Heaven with you?"  My father was never a spiritual man, but the pastor who gave him his last rites said that my father accepted Jesus into his heart and ask for forgiveness of his sins.  I hope that this is true and not a statement of comfort from that pastor.  My sister was a believer in Christ Jesus, but never had that opportunity to repent of her sins before her light was taken from us all.  I also asked God if I am on the right path, and what else can I do to be more like the man you want me to be?  I have never heard that voice in my head giving me the answers or had an Angel appear before me.  If you have had this happen to you then that is a true blessing and be thankful.  As I am getting closer to my office building, I look to my right and see many cars in the parking lot, but my attention is immediately on one.  I focus in on the license plate and is has one simple word on it.  That word was TRUST.  I walk this campus every morning and don't recall ever seeing this car or plate.  So, there is my answer.  Simple yet obvious.  I know all of us are looking for answers to questions, and I would say just take a look around because that answer is probably staring you in the face.  God could slap you in the face but then what do you really learn.  Pay attention and be patient.  God and Jesus love you and will come to you if you ask, but maybe not in the way you would expect.  Questions are answered by our loving Father, but you must also be prepared and open for that answer.  It may not be the one you were really wanting.  Have Faith and Trust in the Lord for those answers, even when times seem bleak.  He has never left your side and will Sheppard you on to the right path always.
