Looking For God

So I got home from church today and as I walked up to my place - I looked for the cat in the window - one of her favorite spots is to position herself between the blinds and the window to get full access to the scenery and in the morning - the sun.  Well, she wasn't there - I walk in and look in the usual places and I still don't see her - then I realize that there is a pile of laundry sitting on my bed - yep - there she was.  And it got me thinking about something that has been on my mind this week - and really helped me through - something Pastor Darren said in his devotional on Tuesday night - about looking for God in the everyday things.

So I want to share with you some places that I've found God this weekend...  It goes without saying that He is in the wonderful friends that I have been blessed with - I love you all!  But He was also in my students this week - such a wonderful group - I look forward to seeing them again on Tuesday!  At breakfast yesterday morning - He was in the 9 or 10 year old kid that was so polite and held the door for me.  I went to the grocery store yesterday and saw this little girl all dressed up and her dad was dancing with her in the aisles.  Today He was definitely in the prayer that Aaron gave - but He was also in Julie and Allison (a mom and 1st grade old daughter) as they held hands and danced to the praise music!  And He was definitely in the little boy during the children's moment that when asked by Pastor Darren what his favorite gift was - said his brother Jake.

And last night - I went and made dinner for my niece and nephews and we sat down to eat at the dining room table - I commented that the breakfast nook table seemed more formal like it should be in the dining room probably because of the candlesticks.  My 5 year old nephew - without saying a word - got up - walked over and brought the candlesticks to our table - God Bless him and his family!
