I often ponder…

I often ponder, “Where is God meeting me?” If I pause long enough, I can sense where and how God has shown up in different ways.

Now the question comes, “Where am I meeting God?” This is intentionality on my part.  And as I reflect, I know exactly where I am meeting God.

• in rising early to meet the day
• in going to bed early to reflect on my day
• in devotion
• in walking Bruno
• in stretching my body
• in setting the coffee pot before bed
• in my job
• in walking over the fall leaves and hearing the crunch of the season changing
• in asking myself, “What do I need? What do I want?”
• in the stillness of the moment when I take a few deep breaths to settle my anxious thoughts or heart

Intentionally meeting God settles me and helps me remember that it’s not me that bends the river but God. And although I’m not the powerful one, there is great strength when connected to God in deeper ways. Sometimes, I get to see God bend the river. This is amazing.
