"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)
I have always loved Hide-and-Seek. Growing up in the middle of nowhere Tennessee, with four siblings, the game was a regular part of our childhood activities. Growing up in the middle of nowhere, hiding places were bountiful as well. Sometimes searching for "the" hiding place was more intense than trying to find my hidden brothers and sister. And when I was unlucky enough to be the eye-covering, 100 counting, "Ready or not, here I come," yelling IT, I often overworked myself by overlooking the most obvious of hiding places. If only I had looked closer in those obvious places, I would have found what I was seeking.
Isn't that how we are with God sometimes? During my life, I have encountered God many times and in many ways. Going to church, reading my Bible, praying, and doing all the important things "Jesus Seekers" should do have helped me along my walk. I have found Jesus in those things. But as I have grown as a Christian, I have realized that God is ALL AROUND US, ALL THE TIME--we just have to seek him in those obvious places, those everyday things.
I want to get better at looking for God in my everyday life...I want to help you begin to recognize him in your everyday life as well. This blog is OUR place to share those everyday encounters we have with the Holy Spirit. It is OUR place to reflect on those times we bump into God. It is OUR place to figure out what those experiences mean in our Christian lives. It is OUR place to become Best Friends with the Savior. It is OUR place to begin seeking Jesus with our WHOLE HEARTS.
