Look before you turn lef....I mean right.

Today started out like any normal Monday. I went to Starbucks, grabbed some iced green tea, (which is a life changing moment if you've never experienced a Starbucks Iced Green Tea) and headed across the highway to the church. As I was getting ready to turn left onto the street that leads back to the church, I saw two cars there getting ready to pull into traffic as soon as there was an opening. One car was in the left turn lane, and the other in the right turn lane. It was obvious to me that the gentleman in the left turn lane was growing very impatient. He had obviously been waiting there for a while.

As the traffic dissipated a little, I made my left turn into the industrial park where Catalyst is located. As I was turning, the man in the left turn lane decided, last minute, that he instead wanted to go right, and attempted to do so. Unfortunately for him, the gentleman in the maroon minivan in the right turn lane also wanted to turn right. The man in the left turn lane, who was driving a rather large Chevy pick up truck, barreled through the mini van, leaving a nice array of mangled car parts in his path. Luckily, no one was hurt, other than the pick up owners pride.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I get a little impatient. I want things to work in my time. I want things to go my way, and I want things to be perfect. Unfortunately, that's not how the world works, and it's definitely NOT how God works. His timing is always best, but not necessarily on your watch. Sometimes it's best to just sit and wait instead of barreling over some innocent person who bears no fault in whatever situation you are in. I just hope that guy had really good insurance.
