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,

It is funny this is your post today. I have been reflecting about my path as a comparison to a butterfly's life cycle. My time in the pit like a cocoon. Now out still pumping my wings, taking the time to get stronger, being encouraged to fly. I am aware of the risks of pain/injury and I am tentative and scared, but there are so many opportunities. It is all so bright, dazzling, full of hope and the promise that He will hold me up in all things. So last night I went to a mother/daughter banquet, the theme - butterflies, the scripture lesson- Psalm 139 and the lifecycle of a butterfy, the program - a praise team " A Wing and a Prayer." Every need He does supply, KImberly
