Today was a good day. Nothing life changing or dramatical happened. It was normal by anyone's standard, yet today God gave me little blessings purposed as little reminders of His love, providence, and concern for me in all things in my life ...especially the little ones.
I'm a person who loves the little details in something. It's the small, seemingly unimportant and minute details in something that really make it for me. I especially love when I am the only one to recognize this in someone else's work ...it's as if I know something I probably shouldn't or like I know their secret. It's an appreciation i find thrill in. And looking back on today, God and I shared some secret thrills :)
One thing I was reminded of today was just how blessed I truly am to have such incredible and phenomenal people in my life. All day long He kept showing me that in every area of my life there are people He has placed there and brought about to either teach me, support me, encourage me, love me, befriend me, challenge me, or partner with me in something.
It's kinda interesting and even a bit fun to notice and recognize the detailed purposes behind the relationships that I have had and to think of those purposes for the current ones! While trying to figure it all out myself would definitely drive me bananas, one thing I can be ever so thankful for is that God, like yours truly, is all about the details! He has fashioned and formed every single relationship and encounter that I have with people down to a science and He is purposeful and intent on making each one matter.
My job in this area of my life, I have realized, is not to be the boss and take control of what I feel the purpose for each individual person in my life should be; but rather, sit back and live fully and honestly in each moment. I don't want to miss on what God had originally intended for me because I got caught up in trying to make it work out for myself.
Today was a good day. Today I was reminded that God's purpose and intention is wrapped up with intricate little details that are only truly appreciated in the moments fully lived.
Enjoy His reminders for you today ...

ReplyDelete...Can I just say that this is EXACTLY what I needed to hear in all my selfish wrap ups and thinking I need to make things happen...I know His plans for our lives are so amazingly beautiful, we just have to simply sit back and give Him the reins. I give you permission to slap me into shape when I try and forget this and ruin the blessings and beauty God has for me! Oh and I'll be sure to do the same!
