Locked Out
It’s a cold, windy day in Brooklyn. While I was at school, I saw the rain coming down. I was glad that it had stopped before dismissal. As I walked down the block, I noticed the large inflatabled teddy became unplugged and blew down the driveway. I retrieved it and called Lee to let him know we have to weigh down this inflatable so that it stays put.
After I spoke to Lee, I went on the computer to answer some e-mail from my students. After that, I ran downstairs to get the mail. I opened the door and it slammed shut behind me. I cringed because I had the feeling I was locked out. I walked slowly back to the door. I tried the lock and unfortunately it was locked. I looked down at my feet – just socks – no shoes. The stoop was wet from the rain and I decided to stay in the dry spot that I was standing in and I would wait to ask a neighbor or passerby to use their phone to call Lee to bring the keys.
As I stood close to the door to stay warm and dry, I thought that God probably brought that opportunity to me so that I would take time to talk to Him in a quiet way. So I spoke aloud to Him and I could feel His presence. Even though I was only wearing a shirt, pants and socks, I wasn’t cold. God and jogging in place kept me at peace. Eventually a neighbor came by and I called Lee.
I had to wait about 20 – 30 minutes for Lee to come. Again, I took advantage of the time to let God how thankful I was for locking me out and reminding to take the time to be quiet and listen to him. I was so thankful that I didn’t get very cold and of course Lee coming with the keys.
Hugs,
marlene
