Gary and I first met in the Electronics Department of Walmart in Woodbury, MN. I was unsure of my purchase, but Gary seemed to be a symbol of hope in a box. I was thrilled the price was cheaper than I expected, so I brought Gary home. Over the next few days, I programmed Gary with addresses and locations I would use on my route to Texas. I am happy to report, Gary never once got me lost!
Now that I have been in Texas for a few days, Gary continues to guide me and get me from point A to point B with no troubles at all! I'm very thankful for this because I don't understand the road system in Texas at all! None of it makes a bit of sense, except for the I-35 signs--those I know will lead me back to Minnesota!
I realized the other day that if I had not gotten Gary, I pretty much would not be able to drive around the town of Waco. There's way too many one-way signs than I would ever care to see. There's also a spider of roads that seem to go in every single direction. I also have no sense of direction here--I can't tell where Mexico is and where Canada should be! It's really, really sad!
Just like I'm thankful I have Gary to guide and direct me, I'm learning how much more I need God to do the same. There's so much in a new town, new state, new job, new church, and new life that can be a struggle. I'm learning so much to tap into God, prayer, and the Bible to guide and direct me in my new place. A Garmin was manmade after all, but God is eternal!
