Day6 - Blue Sky

Wipers?
Writer’s block!  After doing the same routine for the last five days: eat– drive –ride – eat – sleep. I was a loss of what to write then out of blue, there it was, blue sky! For the first time in three days we saw blue sky. In the previous days the amount of windshield washer fluid we used could be considered an environmental hazard; one jug per tank of gas. You got to love all that salt that they use to keep the road wet no matter how cold it is, a good trade-off for icy roads i guess. This all makes me ask: “If they can send men to the moon and back, why can’t they make a wiper that doesn’t leave a streak right in the driver’s line of sight? This is the second pair we bought for this trip already. It is extremely stressful driving without being able to see where you are going.

First blue sky in days - beautiful!
Life is a lot like that. There is something in all of us that desires to see further into our future – to know what’s beyond tomorrow, next week or even next year. We get frustrated when there are obstacles in our lives that make our future unforeseeable or uncertain; we would rather rely on sight then faith. But this would make the blue skies less exciting and we would continually fret about those upcoming periods of rain, snow and sleet. So, continue pouring on the windshield washer fluid to help you see what is in front of you and trust God for the rest. It takes faith, but he is trustworthy; after all he is the creator of awesome sunrises, sunsets, blue skies and rainbows!

  1. Hello Kuipers family,

    Thanks again for your detailed report of your trip. It is like being there with you guys! We missed you at men's breakfast this morning, but I guess life goes on... Can't think of anything 'spiritual' to say so take care the rest of the way. Every mile you drive you get closer to your future and farther away from your past... Now that is almost spiritual :-)
