awareness

I am nearing the year mark of beginning this blog. It has been an incredible journey. I have taken some time to go back and look at some of the earlier entries. I've decided to 'recycle' some of the ones I've liked best. So...in the vein of 'truth in advertising', I wanted to let you know, that, occasionally, there may be an entry you vaguely remember. My prayer is that it may seem new to you or it may read very differently because of where you may be in your journey with God. Enjoy....and...there will definitely be new stuff coming as well!

One of my favorite authors is Ken Gire. He has a way of helping me learn to pay attention to the movements of God in my life. He has written numerous devotional books. The first book I read by him is an excellent book called, Seeing What is Sacred: Becoming More Sensitive to the Everyday Moments of Life, (old title - The Reflective Life) that is written, specifically, to help you become more aware.

I want to share a quote from him:

"He[God] has much to say, not only from the Scriptures but from the circumstances of our everyday lives. However prosaic the pages of our lives may seem at first reading, within the lines or in between the lines God may be speaking. Every book we read, every movie we see, every person we talk with, every song we listen to, every moment in our lives, in fact, should be subjects for reflection and could be ways through which God is speaking."


Consider asking God to help you today...help you pay attention to where/how He may be speaking to you, perhaps speaking in ways you had not considered before. Feel free to share what you noticed.

May you see Him in a different way today,
