As I sit behind the wheel, gazing at the dashboard of my car, a small yet significant symbol catches my eye—the letter "E." Every time I see that letter, it serves as a gentle reminder of the incredible journey I embarked upon when I moved out here to South Carolina from Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Letter E on the Car Dashboard is a Reminder that I am pointing East

You see, that "E" not only signifies "east" on a compass, but it holds within it the story of a memorable road trip I took with my dad. Together, we drove across the United States, from the arid deserts of New Mexico to the lush green, Land of Freedom that I know today as South Carolina.

During those long hours on the open road, we shared memories, deep conversations, and quiet moments of reflection. It was a time of bonding, connecting, and self-discovery.

Whenever I see the letter "E" on my cars dashboard, it has come to symbolize something more profound—a reminder that even when life feels like it's running on empty, I am exactly where I need to be. It's a gentle nudge from the God, telling me to embrace the present moment and trust in the process.

Sometimes, in the midst of challenges and uncertainties, it's easy to question whether we're on the right track. We may feel as though we're running out of fuel, both literally and metaphorically. But that "E" serves as a friendly reassurance that we are right where we need to be, even if the road ahead seems uncertain.

The memories of that cross-country journey remind me that life is not about the destination; it's about the memories that we create along the way. It's about the people we meet, the lessons we learn, and the second chances that we are granted along this journey called life.

As I glance at the letter "E" on my cars dashboard, it serves as a reminder that I am headed East, towards my greater purpose.
