God's Work

 Last night I was thinking about the past year, and how God has presented himself in my life. I can so clearly pinpoint moments where I knew God was there with me. Now I never had one of those huge, over the top awe-inspiring moments, that some people talk about. I’m not saying those moments haven’t happened for some people, and it’s good that they have had them. However, my realization moments have been small, but just as meaningful.

 I remember once I was out shopping with one of my friends, and my phone started going ballistic. I started freaking out because I was supposed to text my dad our location after he got done grocery shopping at the store across the highway, but my phone was not working and my friend did not have hers. My friend told me to relax and it would be fine, after all, he was only just across the street. I couldn’t relax though, in fact, I got even more worried. My friend went into the dressing room and I was waiting outside, desperately trying to get my phone to work. Finally giving up and being on the verge of tears, I looked at one of the planners on the rack in front of me. On it was written something along the line of “have faith”. I looked upward and thought hey God nice timing. I was still a little worried, but that helped me calm down.

 Another moment happened recently. This week I went to the doctor to see why I wasn’t kicking this cold (if you did not read my last blog, I have been sick for over two months now). My doctor sent me to the hospital to get some labs done to see if I had pneumonia. When the results came back, they showed that I did not have pneumonia, but I did have something unrelated that could have been really serious if not found for a long time afterward. If I had not been sick for so long, if I had not gotten the labs done, I would not have known. Again God had worked what seemed to be awful in my life to bring about something good.

 Sure, I haven’t had some big miraculous moments in my life to show God was there. However, the small moments I have had are just as meaningful. Don’t just ignore the little things He does for you, because they are just as important.
