I started this blog as forum for expressing how I find God in my everyday life. My hope is that other people will participate and write about where they find God, also. Please feel free to post even if it's only a few words. Anywhere you find God is an inspiration to us all.

The Blow-Dryer
Okay, this is going to sound a little strange, but I found God today when I was blow-drying my hair. I know what you're thinking (I would, too), but hear me out. Blow-drying my hair is one of my least favorite chores. It's mind-numbing. But today, while I was staring blankly at the wall with the dryer blathering away, I felt a nudge from God. "Hey Tia, I'm here even now. What are you going to do about it?" And I was suddenly inspired to pray. I've read about other people praying while waiting in line, at the doctor, etc.; it just never occurred to me to pray while I dried my hair. But I did, and before I knew it, I was done and still hadn't quite finished my prayers. So now I may actually look forward to drying my hair... or maybe not. But I know I can always find God there as I did today turning the most menial task into something worthwhile. Yet another little blessing in my life.

Nice story. I like the idea of praying to enhance an ordinary moment. A moment spent in a positive mindset is productive in it's own right.
