Hummingbird Moment #1

I remember that this specific day and time my life was really really  hard. Getting out of bed was hard, walking into work was hard, getting on the train was hard. All of it. I don’t know the specifics of the events, but I know that I was overwhelmed with life.  I sensed that I was at a cross roads and had a lot to figure out. Would I continue to wait for the man that I loved or would I move on and take a chance on the unknown. I explained it to my therapist that night and at the end of our session she prayed that God would clarify direction for me. I hopped on the D and transferred to the uptown C train at 59th street . A trip that I had taken for years. It’s easy to say I had been on that route hundreds of times. While on the train I pulled out Priscilla Shirer’s “Awake” Devotional and I remember my heart fluttering at the words on the page. It was without a doubt an answer to prayer. I was chatting with God about how floored I was at the confirmation from the devotional, I looked up and there at the 81st street station was a mosaic hummingbird on the wall. I had never seen it before. To anyone else it was a mini mosaic among many beautiful animals. To me it was a kiss from God. A big ol’ hug and squeeze. I knew that he was speaking to me and it was a reminder that all things work together for my good.
