God, give me a sign.
I was replacing an old dishwasher recently. The thoughts that had been haunting me about one specific situation in my life seemed to all attack at once. Staring at both dishwashers, side-by-side, the old and the new ( I now see a deep metaphor with the washers and the situation), I challenged God.
What I thought – “Why aren’t you listening? Why am I in a situation that You led me into? Why? If you want me to continue, then give me a sign! Anything!”
As I internally whined, I checked my phone for calls and email.
An email had arrived from a listing we had on Craig’s List re: our garage sale (happening at the time of the dishwashers).
Do you have a white dishwasher for sale?
I had not advertised anything remotely about a dishwasher.
That was it.
Loud and Clear, God.
