Decision or a Delight or Both? Cruising on a Sunday afternoon with God in Charge!

My roommate for four years at Erskine… more years as roomies in Charleston when we first got jobs teaching in Summerville!

Brooke, as you know has been seriously ill for months with flu, coronavirus and congestion…but she finally got released this past week. Hallelujah! She called me to say SUNDAY was the day she was coming!!!

Dear Reader!

It was supposed to rain Sunday but the weather held off for late afternoon so Brooke could get home in plenty to of time and look what she brought me while checking out and crying with happiness. We turned our day over to God and miraculously we had the time of our lives !!!!

Being in a car together on a Sunday deserted highway ( to McClellan)!

We were still crying while checking out and the young girl behind the desk was moved, especially when she saw the gorgeous orange and red tulips she Brooke me!

After giving Brooke the tour of the facilities and my apartment we took the tulips outside in the low-70’s temperature!

Then Brooke told me we were headed to McClellanville and eating at the SeeWee restaurant… our favorite…. hardly any cars on Highway 17 … so we just talked and talked until we hit the SeeWee!

Every part of our cruising went perfectly… and after eating… we kept heading towards Hampton ( Archibald Rutledge’s famous home ( Georgetown) and you know how I love Archibald Rutledge! ) We are planning for our next Ya Reunion!

We went in the back way to get brochure information for our future tour!

On the way back we were looking for a drug store to pick up lip balms and nutritional skin moisturizers and suddenly on the lane going into the Mt Pleasant Hospital was a CVS… God is definitely the best guide and navigator… you can ask for…He shows you ( on His Cue! the direction! We didn’t miss one place on our itinerary! 😘😍

An unforgettable Sunday… an unforgettable itinerary! Bursting with happiness!

So until tomorrow… turn your stress and anxiety about driving and finding your destination over to your Creator and just enjoy the trip… He’s got you!!! We never were lost for a minute!

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”

That’s great! Oh, I wanted to tour so many more plantations, but only go to tour one. The McLeod plantation! I love the history, the hundreds year old oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. I only wish it hadn’t been rainy and cold.
