Let Me In!

I went home to New Orleans last week. I called my dad and let him know that I was coming and I checked in with him as I was on the road so that he would know when to expect me.  When I got about fifteen minutes away, my dad sent me a text and said that he had to teach a bible study and he wouldn’t be back until about 8:00p.m. With my dad, 8:00 usually means about 10:30! I looked at the time and it was 6:20. I was aggravated to say the least. I went to work at 7:00 a.m., left work at noon, went home to pack, and hit the road. I was ready to relax but instead I was waiting on my dad to open the door! I brought my mom to her friend’s house and went to dinner in an attempt to kill time. Eventually, I called my dad and asked him if there was any way that he could come and let me in before 8:00. His response was the LAST thing I expected to hear. He said, “You have a key!”  I debated with him for a minute then he said” look for the ke. If you don’t have it, I’ll come”.  I looked down at my key ring and started going through the keys…car key… house key… storage unit…RANDOM SILVER KEY! There is no way that I’ve been waiting for him to let me into the house and I have a key!  I put the key in and it didn’t turn, I tried it one more time and it opened the door!!  Instantly, God said to me “You’ve been waiting for me to let you in but I’ve already given you access!” My dad put that key on my key ring in May of last year. I had been walking around with that key everyday for 10 months and never knew it! There are a few areas in my life where I have been waiting for God to “open doors” when He had been trying to show me the whole time that I already had access. What has God given you access to but you haven’t walked into yet?  What is it that you are waiting God to do? I encourage you to seek Him about those things….you may think you’re waiting on him when really you’re waiting on YOU! Open the door….walk in!

Luv ya 4 real
