Just Jesus and Me Yappin’ in the Car….

Confession time.

If you ever see me driving in my car and appear to be talking to someone in the front passenger seat and there is no one there – Just smile and think, “Yep, there goes Jeanie, just a yapping away with Jesus.”

Often when I drive, I invite Jesus along to ride with me and we talk up a storm. Most of the time I do the talking – yeah, I have mentioned that ramblin’ mouth of mine before in posts – but I do try to listen too.

Last week while on a three-hour drive to Indianapolis, I reflected about several ongoing prayers that were quagmired in mud. These were items, long prayed for, but unclear what was happening.

Jesus said let’s talk about them.

So I did.

I threw a whole litany of people, difficulties, and open-ended struggles upon Him.

I placed in His welcoming hands long time concerns and distant dreams. 

His response?

“Ok, I have them. I will take care of them.”

Peace fell over my heart, as I knew He would take care of things, in His time.

We rode in silence for a while, just Jesus and me - Me, less anxious knowing the Almighty was in charge and Jesus, probably appreciative for some quiet time without my yappin’.

Just Jesus and me.
