God Moments

Tonight at my girls bible study we talked about God moments. I know we all have big moments that we can look back on and say "wow that was such a God thing," but what I really think is special are the everyday God moments....or moments OF God. I find them everywhere. A beautiful morning with the sun shining through my window onto my bed, the wind blowing across a field, green lights all the way to work when I'm running late!

My point is, that if we really start to look around, so much of what we think is lucky, beautiful, or rejuvenating can actually be God. And by giving God the credit and allowing him to be a part of our daily lives, it makes us feel that much closer to Him. I have found that by doing this, sharing the small experiences with Him, I am that much more confident of His presence in the "big" stuff in life. Why wouldn't He be with me then if He was with me all day long? It is so comforting to know that He is with me all the time....not just when I think I need Him.

Look for God moments....they happen more than you think!

Steps

You know how all of life is a process? I mean, no matter what you're doing, it takes step 1 to get to 2....and so forth. And normally skipping steps is a bad idea. I like to say that a shortcut is just another step to the longer way around. So, I understand that there is method to this madness. But do you ever just feel so anxious to get to the next step you can't take it? Maybe anxious isn't the right word....just excited! Take me, for example. I am in the "single" stage of my life getting my Master's and I love it! Good friends, boyfriend, family, church, etc. But I graduate in 2 months and school is getting sooo tough right here at the end. December can't help but look wonderful with no papers and no deadlines. Some days I'm so excited about what's ahead I can't stand it!



Sometimes it's hard to stop and savor where you are. But step 1 is just as important as step 2, so there is no point in skipping ahead. I have to remind myself everyday that I may never get this season of my life back so I should stop and enjoy it. And I am....I just wish it didn't come with so many papers!



I guess it's ok to dream about step 2 a little.....
