What I feared would happen has. I started a blog and haven’t committed to it. I think about it and the different things I could write about but nothing much has come from it. I now realize I was missing an important “ingredient” that will help me be successful. Direction.
I need a purpose for this blog and I’ve decided that the purpose will be to find God in the day-to-day. That’s not to say I don’t think he’s there and it will take great effort to find Him. I actually had the idea because there are days I feel so rushed to get from one task to the next that I never take the time to notice Him. So that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to make it a point to notice God in the day-to-day.
This morning I was particularly struck by my husband’s love for me. He’s not a romantic guy and he doesn’t have some ridiculous notion that I’ll break if he doesn’t serve me, but I know he loves me.
I can tell in the morning when it’s time to get up and he wants me to stay close to him. I can tell when he waits for me to get ready so I can tag along on a silly errand, just to be together. I can tell when he sticks up for what’s important to me. I can tell when he hugs me extra tight when he gets home from work. I can tell when I don’t have to ask him to wash the dishes, he does it automatically when he sees me working to clean up the kitchen.
It’s not difficult to see that my husband loves me because I’m tuned into him and he’s tuned into me.
That’s the way God wants to be with us. Think about it. The Almighty God, Creator of all things, Sovereign, Holy, Just, Merciful, and Good – wants intimacy with us despite our many imperfections. We must be crazy to think that anything else could be more important and a better use of our time.
I hope you’ll help me stay accountable to recognizing God’s involvement in my day-to-day and then sharing it with you all. And I hope it may encourage you to do the same.
