This week we dropped my daughter Sarah and her friend Annie off at the airport, where she took her first plane ride over the Atlantic to Scotland.

They arrived in Glasgow and then had to take a bus to get to Edinburgh - their home base for the week. As they left the bus terminal they looked everywhere for a cab but couldn't find one, so they decided to walk. They each had two pieces of luggage on wheels. One small carry-on and a larger case that weighed no more than 55lbs. The cobblestones in Edinburgh make pulling two suitcases difficult and when you add in rain, no umbrellas and no idea where they were, well...let's just say they were a little frustrated. It wasn't long before they stopped into a pub to ask where they could find a taxi, after getting directions they made their way and found the cab they so desperately needed.

After putting their luggage in the trunk and they were all settled in, Sarah told the cab driver the address of their hotel.

He immediately started laughing, pulled a U-turn and took them across the street.

Like my daughter's adventure in Scotland, we can sometimes miss things that are staring us straight in the face. God can be telling us to go somewhere or do something, but we are never sure where or what. He even tries to send us directions through His word or His people but because we aren't looking in the right direction, or possibly not asking the right questions, we can miss His leading. That's when you need to stop, ask for direction again and look carefully for His signs.

May God grant you eyes to see Him this week and wisdom to know what to do when He calls.
