Don't you just love it when you see God working! Whether it is a small glimmer of His reassurance or a huge banner He waves just so we remember He is there, seeing God at work is inspiring and amazing.
A few days ago, as I sat in a book club rummaging and rambling over what we were reading, I had the blessing of listening to a friend pour out her heart. Although I could not say I knew exactly how she felt, I could say that I knew we served the same God. A God that never takes a vacation - A God who hears our cries - A God who has a hope-filled future for each us. I encouraged her to look for the glimmers of God working around her, because I was sure the glimmers were there. As I encouraged her to look for God working, God reminded me to do the same: Look for Him.
How many times have I missed that glimmer of divine encouragement because I chose to look elsewhere? How many days have I missed God working all around me because I am just not looking? It really made me think about so many prayers, where I have asked God for some type of sign and just how many times I missed seeing that sign. Maybe I missed it because I did not diligently look or missed it because I expected some certain type of sign? Whatever the reason may be, God's message to me was: Look for Me.
When God shows Himself, in the midst of a tough situation or in our everyday circumstances, it is always a divine experience. The cool thing: He shows Himself even when we do not ask, and He shows Himself in ways we could never imagine. The thing we have to remember is: Look for God. Whether in a glimmer or huge banner, He is always there.
The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

i love to read blogs, my sister. Loved the language and the openness of it. I can tell its real. I like bloggers that tell their own stuff, real stuff. I like the fact that he uses banners. However I tend to miss a lot of them because i'm too busy doing something 'great' on my own. I have blog. It's way too personal to let anyone read it, yet. Until I can get over that its gonna stay just with me.
Keep it up.
