I'll be doing some traveling later this year, and as I was thinking and planning and day-dreaming this morning, I had the idea that I should write a blog while I'm gone, to share stories with friends about how I am seeing God moving and working. I thought it was a grand idea, but of course God pointed out to me that, once again, I was simply showing my foolishness. As if the God of the universe only works over-seas... please.
So, I'm starting now. I'm not sure about this whole "blogging" thing, or how it works. Bear with me. Hopefully this will be a way to share stories of God's goodness with friends I'm not able to connect with very often... I'll admit, this idea is not mine, I stole it from my friend Alyssa (thanks).
Our God is so incredible. He is huge, He is great, He is good. He is moving and working every day in ways we can't fathom, but which we are given the privelege of witnessing if we only open our eyes and
pay attention. I know that if I were ever to truly, unwaveringly, and unceasingly search for God's presence every day, the works I witnessed would create a revolution in my soul and life. That's just me, just one insignificant person. Can you imagine if all the members of the entire body of Christ were to keep our eyes trained on God every moment of every day? The world would be turned upside down! Of course, a revolution of that scale won't happen until the day Christ returns. We are weak and fail, and will never be able to keep our eyes constantly fixed on Him until the day when He physically stands before us. Still, that's the goal to strive for. Nothing we can do will cause a revolution, but maybe by small efforts to see God in everything we will find Him working simple revolutions in our midst every day.
