Mercy Bus

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.  Psalm 27:13.
This is one of those times when I'm real glad for the King James version.  The reason I bolded the "I had fainted",was because it was already italicized.  Praise God!
I am believer today of that verse and I realize what David meant.  
So many things to be thankful for today.  I've got some work to do on some of it still.  But one I wanted to put up while it's still fresh is,travel mercy.  
I've never really explored that concept before.  Today I went somewhere for a really major appointment and on the way over there it occurred to me that I should pray for travel mercy.
We have not because we ask not.  
Frustrating circumstances do not have to dictate our response.  As Lysa TerKeurst http://lysaterkeurst.com/ said one time and I hope I never forget it, "Our response, determines our impact."
Just because you pray doesn't mean everything will go your way.  As a matter of fact I prayed and didn't even recognize the answer to my prayer. 
What it did was it turned an ordinary encounter at the bus stop into something extraordinary.  
And I got to meet some real nice girls!  
Selah.
