With numerous tractor-trailers, tight lanes and a concrete divider on that road, I always feel like I\u2019m the filling on an Oreo cookie. I couldn\u2019t imagine doing it in the snow.<\/p>\n<p>It looked like I might make it before the storm hit. But that pipe dream burst the next morning as I heard that several inches of snow had fallen in a county not far from my travel route.<\/p>\n<p>I prayed and asked God to give me peace about what to do. I knew I was supposed to go\u2014but I was afraid. But I decided to make the drive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/cat-tell-us-your-story\/allow-jesus-to-guide-your-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>READ MORE: ALLOW JESUS TO GUIDE YOUR LIFE<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Snow started falling before I reached the gorge, a mountainous area far from civilization. I had that \u201cWhat was I thinking?\u201d conversation with myself, but it was too late. Then began a heartfelt, \u201cGod, please get me out of this mess!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, traffic was light. I guess other folks had more sense that day. But the situation got bad quickly. Despite the defroster, snow started to cover the windshield. I turned the wiper handle\u2014and then I realized I had a big problem. The wipers were frozen in place.<\/p>\n<p>I panicked as more and more of the windshield turned white. I couldn\u2019t pull off because I\u2019d get stuck in the ice on the side of the road, and I sure didn\u2019t want to get stranded there. <\/p>\n<p>By this time, there was only a small clearing on the windshield for me to see through. I knew I still had a way to go before I\u2019d be through the gorge\u2014and I knew that if that one place of visibility became covered, I\u2019d be in big trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Believe me when I tell you that I prayed my way through that day, claiming that verse from Psalm 56:3, \u201cWhen I am afraid, I will trust in thee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t tell you how relieved I was to mke it out of the gorge and on to the convention\u2014where God had some divine appointments for me.<\/p>\n<p>He stretched me out of my comfort zone that day. <em>Way<\/em> out of my comfort zone. But I learned two important things: He\u2019s a trustworthy God, and when He calls you to do something, He will take care of the circumstances\u2014even if it\u2019s driving through a  gorge on a snowy day.<\/p>\n<p>Does God want to lead you out of your comfort zone today?
