The excitement and enthusiasm was in him when he came back from a week of leading junior high kids from camp. Hume Lake, to be exact, was the highlight of this year. The stories, the life changes, and the relationships were phenomenal. However, he gets back to just find out that the train's full and it just left. Anxiety came to him at his time at camp. The days go by and he's more convinced that he's going to catch that train and be on board. Unfortunately after all the joy and laughter from being away, the dream of embarassment was dounced by a big calf. The calf had no name. It used to be someone, until it ditched the man who tried to catch a ride.
Thinking of what to do now is certainly annoying/ depressing/ frustrating. Sitting on a train-stop waiting for nothing, yet the train lights come by like it's teasing me that there's a train coming. Oh where is it? Oh when is it coming? Now? Did I wait so long? I shold've said something to the train operator. "Miss Operator, I'd like to board this train". It was too late. The train's gone. The next train is none to be found. The signs are blurry and everyone's gone. All alone he becomes.
Dear God,
I pray that someday I find that train. I pray for those who are missing their rides. I pray that they can wait out the rain and for the storms in their lives to pass. You are heavenly Lord, it's you that keeps the trains running and the weather storming. It just makes sense that we can't always have transportations and sunshines. In you I find rest. In you I find sense. I pray for the operators, navigators, and drivers of this track. You are the light out of this tunnel, and with that I give you all my attention. I pray for the ones who are lost and missing. That may they find their rides and their stops. I ask all these in you're son's name Jesus!
Amen
