A few days ago, I was a woman on a mission — a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My sweet friend, recovering from back surgery, needed a new handicap placard \u2013 the others had expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Easy enough. I headed to the Williamson County DMV, took a number, waited patiently, and voila — mission accomplished! Placard in hand, I delivered them to my friend. Hugs, thanks, and smiles exchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thirty minutes later: Ring, ring. \u201cHey\u2026 did you give me back my driver\u2019s license?\u201d Gulp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What followed was a frantic search that could have made for a great episode of CSI: Retirement Edition. I retraced my steps. Looked under her recliner. Searched my car. Called the DMV. Nada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I even offered to help fill out a \u201clost license\u201d form. But before I played the role of DMV scribe, I checked my purse one more time. Main compartment — nope. Zipper pocket –wait\u2026 what\u2019s this?
Eureka!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There it was — right where my lightning-fast brain had completely forgotten that I had tucked it in that zipper pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just then, the DMV clerk called me back. \u201cDid you find it?\u201d
\u201cYes, ma\u2019am — I sure did!\u201d
\u201cWe thought so. We checked the security camera and saw you put it in your purse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holy moly! I was caught on camera! Hallelujah for those hidden cameras that we can\u2019t hide from! I was caught on camera by grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, I found the license without the camera — but what a relief that the DMV cared enough to help us in our quest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I laughed out loud. And then I remembered Luke 15. Jesus tells the story of the woman who lost a coin, lit a lamp, swept the house, and searched carefully until she found it. When she did, she told her friends and threw a celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s what I’m doing today! I’m telling my friends about my find!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes we lose things — keys, wallets, cell phones, patience, perspective. But God\u2019s Word reminds us:
\u201cSeek and you will find.\u201d (Matthew 7:7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not just lost things — but eternal things. Peace. Wisdom. Direction. Hope — and so much more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And like that license in my purse, the truth is often closer than we think. God\u2019s presence isn\u2019t far off — it\u2019s near. His answers? Already on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let\u2019s keep seeking. Don\u2019t panic — just pivot, pray, and peek in that pocket again! God is always guiding, even when we forget where we put things. Seek and you will find.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
