Cell Phone Towers

Today it is cold and rainy in Austin Texas. Most people are opposed to this type of weather, but I on the other hand love it. Nothing makes me happier than driving to my favorite coffee shop and enjoying a large vanilla late while watching the rain fall on lake Austin. The water is rough today, there are indeed white caps. It reminds me of the ocean. I am listening to my favorite band. The people next to me are talking about Disney villains and I’m silently judging them. I see a cell phone tower blinking red in the fog. Although I cant see the physical tower, I can see the red lights. My friend Hannah is the one who got me hooked on cell phone towers. Shes obsessed with them. At first I was like what the heck, they’re just cell phone towers, then I really started to observe and think. Cell phone towers are like the light houses for land. I’ve been struggling big time recently with my walk with God. I’m going to be honest, I’ve been very upset and have felt very abandoned. But this day reminds me otherwise. I look at the fog and the misty rain and the cell phone tower and I am reminded that I am very much so not alone. It’s so hard for me to remember that. I have decided that god is like a cell phone tower. That’s not something you hear every day. We as self-absorbed humans take for granted the wonderful things that cell phone towers do for us. Without those cell phone towers you wouldn’t be able to read this blog right now, or play candy crush on your iphone 6 (Gabby). That’s how I have been lately with God, I completely take him for granted. No matter how much we don’t care about the cell phone towers, they aren’t going anywhere. That’s how it is with God. And even though I can’t see the cell phone tower right now, I can see the blinking red light on this cloudy day. Even though I feel like God is not always there I know he is . I have been looking for God in all the wrong places lately. I look for him in worldly things, which I now know is pointless. All it took was for me to look up. To look up at the cluster of cell phone towers blinking through the night to be reminded that looking is pointless, because God never changed, I did.
