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.

God in me
I haven't written here in well over a year. It's crazy because this blog was a huge part of my life during the year that I was writing. The spiritual exercise of sitting down each day and focusing on my "God moments" helped me to feel His presence in a very tangible way. From time to time, I thought it was about the writing. I've long held onto the fantasy of becoming a writer. But I realize it's just not me. I also realize it was never about the writing. I decided today to save this blog onto my hard drive because I was pretty sure I wouldn't be posting anymore. But as I read over some of my posts, they touched me deeply - to the point of tears in some cases. I started thinking, it's a shame that I'm not still writing this blog because it brought me so close to God. And that's just it - it brought me so close to God. I'm still there in that place I found when I was actively searching for Him each day. He's become a regular part of my everyday life in a way that I had always strived for but never achieved until I did this exercise. When I stopped writing here regularly, I thought many times "What was the point?", "What purpose did this serve?" Now I know. But it took this time and distance to see it clearly. Feeling God with me - in me - all the time started right here. It's become such a natural part of me that I can't really remember what I was like before. This blog changed me, and reading back through these posts, I finally grasped what had always been just out of reach. The connection I made is not broken - it never will be. Today, I found God here. And I found Him when I woke up, and when I opened the blinds, and when I sat down to work... I found Him everywhere. I found Him in me.
