As I was driving along, I knew it would be a long, multi-day roadtrip -- so I wanted to find a few stops along the way, just to break things up. The first one was The Continental Divide. I'd heard of it before -- and might have even stopped somewhere along I-70 or I-80 at some point, but this was a little nothing-stop along I-40 -- and I was ready to get out and walk for a few minutes. I didn't realize what the Continental Divide even was: as the sign says, all the rain that falls West of it flows into the Pacific, and all the rain that falls East of it flows into the Atlantic. And it literally divides the continent -- from Alaska, through Canada, into the U.S. (Montana through Yellowstone and on through New Mexico) and continues south through Mexico, all the way to the tip of South America.
You can see it, even from miles and miles away -- and it really is pretty amazing to think how intentional this amazing world is. Even down to the smallest detail, God planned it all perfectly for us. Even down to how the rain flows into the oceans -- God has a plan for it all, and for each one of us. And just like I didn't know how the Continental Divide works, still it works. And just like I don't always know what God's Plan is for me, that works too -- I just need to have faith in it.
