Yesterday; Friday-Oct 14; Dave asked me to go pick up pizza for the Hyperbaric/Wound Care Staff at the hospital where he is now working. It was his way of saying thank you for all their help as he has been getting adjusted during his first two weeks of work.
My instructions were to leave at 10:00 am & deliver the pizza a few minutes after 11:00 am. Travel time was about 25 min. The pizza was suppose to be ready at 10:45 am; the hospital was about 5 min away; so I should have been at the clinic early, if all went according to plan.
I set my GPS to go get the pizza. For some reason the GPS wouldn't take my destination. I knew how to get to the hospital w/o the GPS, so I started out.
As I was traveling, I pulled over to set the GPS & it finally took a road. All of a sudden it (GPS) steered me in the wrong direction. Here I go again. I reset it & was on my way.
I made it to the area where the pizza should have been, but no pizza place. I placed a call to Dave & he gave the phone to a nurse. She was so sweet. She stayed on the phone with me until I got to the pizza place. I hate getting lost.
Well, putting me on the emotional scale of 1 to 10, I was about a 5 or 6. I calmed down seeing I was doing OK with my time while I waited on the pizza. I couldn't help if the pizza was late. Finally, I got the pizza, directions & I was on my way to the hospital.
I got to the hospital. I was suppose to go to the East Gate Entrance at the ER. I started following the signs but I never saw the word East. I saw signs for the North & Main Gate, but no East Gate. I saw the ER, but no East Gate. So, I'm on the phone again with another nurse. She was a dear. She could tell I was in a desperate need. Not only did she stay on the phone with me but came out of the hospital & met me on the road. She took the pizza up to the staff. It was now 11:07am. I'm late. :(
I parked the car. Now, my emotional barometer was about 8. I had never been to the hospital & this was my first time to meet the staff. Nothing like meeting a frazzled women for the first time. By the way, there isn't an East Entrance on a sign. It does say East Entrance on the building next to the ER. Oh Well!!!
Well, I walked into the hospital, there was the second helpful nurse leaning over the balcony to guide me some more. When I saw the balcony, I not only saw the nurse but this verse was written across the wall.

Psalm 55:22 (NASB)
22 Cast [a]your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to [b]be shaken.
My first thought was, "Lord, does that mean GPSes?" I think He would say, "Yes".
The hospital is a great size & so pretty. The clinic is so nice & I loved visiting with the staff. I felt right at home. I heard that every morning during their staff meeting, they begin with a verse for the day.
I feel so blessed that Dave is working there.
Thank you Lord.
