"God Moments"

It's been a while since I last blogged. Life gets hectic and some things take a higher priority than others. This summer I was blessed with the oppertunity to work out at a summer camp for six weeks. As this was my fourth summer on staff, I was expecting a summer alot like the rest. To my pleasant surprise, this summer was a completely new experience. Right from the beginning I began to take notice of God's presence all throughout the camp. It permeated everything; The staff, the campers, the atmosphere, ect. As a staff, we all grew closer to God in one way or another. This was the first summer that I really saw God at work in the spiritual growth of others. Every single day, no matter what the weather was or how exausted or energetic we were, was filled with multiple "God Winks" or "God Moments." As a staff, we were encouraged to share these with each other.
How often do we go through life in our fast paced society without taking the time to search for God? The cool thing is that no matter how fast we go, God always provides oppertunities for "God Moments." It's up to each of us to take the time not only to recognize these oppertunities, but to also act on them. As you start to experience more and more of these moments, they will become easier to recognize. :)
As I am moving into a new phase of my life, leaving the place I have always called home, I am focusing on these "God Moments." No matter where I go, God is going with me and I am trusting Him to place me in situations where He will reveal Himself through different conversations and interactions with other people. As we live life, we should be living for God and those "God Moments." All else should come in second. So I encourage everyone to take some time and look for these moments! They will encourage you and change the way you view God in so many ways. :)
