Show up and Sign up

If we were given enough spiritually on Monday to last us all week … would we come back the following Monday for more? Or would we drift off forgetting where we were filled up from?
I think there is a reason we are given only so much..
it’s so we come back.

If you think you don’t hear from God enough…it’s not because of Him…it’s because of you. There are plenty of full schedule weeks where I beg to have more then one day’s worth…how will I carve time out of the next day? It rarely works like that…I have to seek. What would any relationship be if only one side sought out the other? I mean do you think you have seen it all? Because you haven’t – the verse about His mercies are new everyday is no joke, it’s not just a cute feel good verse we can stick on the fridge and smile at (not a bad idea though). It is an invitation… but to know this you need to be willing to show up!
Then you need to actually show up…start with
5
10
15
minutes.
The more you show your faith in showing up…the more you will be shown and the more you will be blessed. The result of this will be hearing things you had never heard and knowing things you thought were reserved for the “big whigs”.

So much to be thankful for this week as we all recover from me being sick over the weekend….but let’s just stick to ten for the time being….

1.)Lexi’s miracle healing before she leaves on a life changing call to Uganda. Do pop over there and give her some serious congrats…Muzunga Mama.
2.)Health and healing in this house.
3.)Asthma in Zim which did not turn into an E.R. trip. Another miracle.
4.)A stellar husband who managed all the meals while I was sick as a dog.
5.)A husband who came home *surprise* a day earlier from a week long business trip…I warned him we were a petrie dish and he still came home early…he is cool like that!
6.)Soaking rain.
7.)An awesome sister (who had already been sick) coming over and hanging out with my-hot-mess-of-a-sneezy-self and talking about dreams…and laughing about me sounding like a Speak and Spell circa 1984.
8.)A baby who does the cutest Freeze Dance from The Fresh Beat Band kids show, all over my house with the most lit up eyes when she “freezes”.
9.)Picking food out of my garden instead of fretting about what to cook.
10.) A gluten free pizza shop 15mins away….what a luxury!!!!! (especially when momma is sick)

What are the ways you seek out God? I think often people think this is some impossible feat reserved for monks, church leaders and women perfectly dressed-up-at-4am-with-a-mauve-covered-bible-in-lap. There isn’t just one right way of doing it…so what works for you?~T
