Monday in Roundup...God is ________________. How many adjectives / words / phrases can you find to fill in the blank? Let’s start with “God is good!” I wish that we could have an “angel reporter” to fly around with each one of us during our day and record all of the ways that God manifested Himself to us over the course of the day. I would love to have a detailed written report at the end of each day so that I could “post” it on a wall (maybe even a blog!) to remind me of who God is and what He does. But, God doesn’t work that way. Instead I (we) must rely on our feeble human minds to remember these “God moments.” So, we catch the ones we can (and there have been so many) and rejoice in those, while the stark reality is that every moment of every day is a “God moment”...
“Flinging seeds with reckless abandon”...we are learning to be “seed flingers.” Today was spent moving furniture in the youth center in preparation for the “big paint”; replacing a battery in our Suburban; helping to serve 35 children lunch (for many, this would be the only meal they got today); connecting with those children and listening to their stories; wandering around town in the afternoon and seeking to connect to and listen to those who we meet; sharing a pack of Starbursts, a root beer float, a plate of fries and ourselves; meeting with a caring core of adults from Roundup; more games in the park; another night of sharing music and God at the youth center; more laughter, smiles and card tricks; and another late night being with God. Can you say “sleep deprived?” LOL
Pray that we would all learn, as the Psalmist says to “Be still and know that I AM GOD!”
Love, Prayers, and Blessings from Roundup! Mike
