Trust- The Hard Way

One of the biggest obstacles that we humans have is often tied to trust. And the trust I am speaking about is trusting that God or the universe will be there to support us in the way we need it. So many times in readings I say exactly that-you need to learn to trust. Well, my day to receive my words came last weekend on my way back from San Diego. I had just passed Palm Desert in California on my way to the state line. I had about a quarter tank of gas and felt that I had enough to get to Quartzsite, Arizona where the gas is about $.50 cheaper a gallon. By my calculations, I had about 100 miles worth of gas and needed to go about 50 miles give or take. Wrong. When I was about 20 miles out from Palm Desert, my gas light went on and I had no idea how much gas I had. The gas needle was on the empty line, just not completely parallel. So I turned off the air conditioner in 95+ heat to save on gas. I figured had about 26 miles to get to the nearest gas station in Blythe, CA, and needed roughly about 1 gallon's worth of gas. And if you have never been to this area of the world, you don't want to breakdown or run out of gas unless you have cold drinks and snacks to tide you over! So I prayed to my angels to help me get to the gas station prior to running out of gas. And they assured me that I would get there safely, even if meant that they would pick up my car and fly me there! But we are still human, aren't we? It's that trust issue smack dab in our face questioning whether we're going to be okay. So after driving for about 15 minutes or so, I could see the big orange 76 gas station sign about 2 miles down the road. Of course I was stuck behind a 18 wheeler going the minimum speed. I didn't want to chance passing him, for it wouldn't be too cool or safe if I ran out of gas while passing him or being in the left lane. So I needed to exercise patience! Not one of the best virtues of a Scorpio I might add. So I finally get off the exit only to have a car carrier full of cars and a motorcycle before me. The car carrier needed some momentum to get up the hill and around the bend. It was like watching a movie in slow motion. But I figured that at least at this spot it is a good half mile walk to the gas station and not 20 so I was in ectasy of having made it safely to my destination. But luckily, or perhaps with the help of my angels, I made it to the pump in my car in one piece. A good lesson on many levels but most importantly on trust. Here's to passing the trust test without having a meltdown! (Note to self: don't drive in the desert without a full tank of gas.)
