Each year I’ve done my best to notice where I’ve seen God in some part of each day and share those thoughts with you. It’s an incredibly beautiful, intimate, sometimes heartbreaking but always authenticaly real process that is one of the most gratifying things I’ve ever done in my life. And through the years I have discovered a sort of rhythm to things….when to share deeply, when to lighten the mood and how to be sensitive to what’s going on out there with my collective blog family!
And here’s what we came up with! (Or, rather what God reminded me of…) We’re going to keep asking ourselves where we see God at work each day. It’s so easy to be pulled into the very real situation that is honestly unlike anything most of us have ever experienced. If you were any type of store today, you have an idea…
I was out of fresh veggies and a few other things, and knew it would only probably get busier out there so I decided to pinch my nose, hold my breath and take the plunge! But before I went I asked God to stay close – to give me His eyes….to help me see what He sees and give me discernment and understanding even as I shopped. And this is what I saw….
So to those who are really struggling with the events of this week, wondering how it’s all going to play out….I see you.
To the young, completely overwhelmed mom doing her best….I see you.
To the people sharing patience and kindness to others in stressful times….I see you.
To those doing their best – even if it’s not what our best would be….I see you.
And far more importantly….God sees you. He really does. And He’s not removed from Day 15 and all it’s brought us. He is abundantly able and willing to help us walk through all of it and get to know Him more deeply along the way. That’s really what matters more than all the toilet paper and bottled water in the world, ya know….accepting the relationship that God longs to have with each of us, especially in uncertain times.
So if you are wondering if God sees you right now….I promise you. He does. <3
Take a moment and listen to this song that reminds us who God is.
So much love,

Take a moment to remember
Who God is and who I am
There You go lifting my load again
Take a moment to remember
Who God is and who I am
There You go lifting my load again
Take a moment to remember
Who God is and who I am
There You go lifting my load again
No longer am I held by
The yoke of this world
Come upon you the yoke of Jesus
His yoke is easy and His burden is so light
His burden is so light
You’re lifting my load
You’re lifting my load
No longer am I held by
The yoke of this world
Come upon you the yoke of Jesus
His yoke is easy and His burden is so light
Your love carries
Your love carries me
Out of valleys and the darkest places
