Windshields

As I was struggling to go back to sleep the other night (or was it early morning?), I was asking God what He might want to be saying to me. Apparently not much since I did not hear anything! Then the image of a windshield came into my mind. As I reflected on this picture, it caused me to wonder about what windshield there are in my life presenting me from feeling the wind of God's presence -- or the sound of His voice.
We all have shields we have put up -- mostly to protect us from the bugs of life. I guess we have to be careful that it does not also prevent us from what God wants to bring into our life as well.
