On my way to the specialist last week, I began to get nervous as I was going by myself and didn't quite know what to expect. I had been so faithful until the day approached and fear was getting the best of me.
As I was heading north on I-35W and exiting on hwy 170, I noticed a car in front of me also exiting. Why did I notice? I noticed it because of the Illinois license plate on the back which read, "FR NT". Barrett and I always try to figure out when a plate says something to see who can figure it out first, so I was pleased when I quickly knew is said "Fear Not". As I continued on 170, Barrett called to pray for me and offer his assurance and let me know he wished he also could be there. He had just picked Whittaker up from preschool. He could hear the growing anxiousness in my voice as I was worried about appointment and getting there on time, I was hungry and also needed to pick up a VHS tape so they could record the sonogram. I was nearly in tears and got off the phone as I was approaching my exit. I realized I had been "mindless" driving down the highway as I saw in front of me the same car with the "FR NT" plate, then I got it! Quickly, the car cut into the other lane and exited. It was as if the Lord was saying, "Finally! I sent that just for you. No matter what you hear at the appointment, FEAR NOT." Peace swept over me and I was so thankful that a God so powerful would so creatively let me know that He knew just where I was...what a CREATOR!
Any time that anxiety starts creeping back in, there it is "FR NT", the memory of the plate comes to mind. A promise not just for the day or the appointment, but His promise that He is Creator of the heavens and earth, Creator of life, and I expectantly wait to tell many of my God as Healer!
