The rain is pouring down. Pelting the roof so hard everything else has been drowned out. Something about the rain gives me inexplicable joy. I've been struggling with the fact that the ways I normally encounter God aren't doable here. I can't go running on the beach with the puppy or get lost in some great country music as I cook away in the kitchen. God gave me my unique passions and in the moments when I am doing those things that I love, God meets me there.
I am learning that although it is so much easier to find God in the places he normally meets me, it is so much more exciting to see him work in places I have never asked him to go. I actively seek him every morning and he consistently shows up to accompany me though all parts of my day. For so long I have been subconsciously limiting God's reign in my life by only allowing myself to consider his presence when I am happy. Epiphany of the week. God gives me JOY at all times in all circumstances as I seek him. And yes, joy is so much better than the happiness that is based on circumstance and situation.
