How silly I say I wait for God to show up. God never leaves me, He's always
there. I am the one who needs to show up. How by turning to Him. As soon
as my focus turns toward Him there He is! It's like with my back to the
sun the light and warmth tells me it's there. But when I turn and look
at it I see it's there I know it's there.
Thank You
Thank you Lord for being with me always.
Thank you speaking with me everyday.
Thank you for always listening to me.
Thank you for makeing me more like thee.
Water
I really enjoy water. I like the spa at the school. In the summer sometimes
I go to the spa alone near the end of the day. There is usually no one
else there at that time. While I wait for my husband to join me there I
talk to God in audible whispers. The water is warm, the trees look like
silhouettes, and the sun is a soft yet fiery glow getting ready to set.
I can almost hear God say let's talk. We talk about the day, and what new
thing He is trying to teach me. Then there is the bath tub. I like it hot
with lots of bubbles. Sometimes I take my bible with me and some time I
just think on scriptures. But sooner or later while I'm there, God comes
and talks to me about the scriptures. Sometimes while I am there with Him,
He helps me with a problem I am mauling over. I also like rain. When I
go visit my friend on thursdays and it's raining, I spend a little extra
time walking in the rain. Something about the sound of the rain on my poncho,
and the rain on my face, and the smell of rain makes things seem so new
fresh and clean. I usually make up a song to God, and talk to Him about
areas I need for Him to Help me clean. Then there are rivers. My husband
and I go to one every vacation when we go camping. I love camping next
to rivers. I like wadding in them, swimming in them, and playing with tubes
on them. Sometime I like to just sit and stare at rivers. When I am sitting
there songs and scripture come to mind. Then guess what? God shows up again
and we talk about vacations, my relationship with my husband, and all kinds
of things that have me up in the air. By the time I go back home I am refreshed
and renewed. You know what? God never showed up. He never left. all these
times I thought He was showing up was really me tuning in to Him.
Seek the Lord while He may yet be found, call upon Him while He
is near. Isaiah 55:6 Seek and you will find. Part of Matthew 7:7
Jesus is one who is closer than a brother.
