ramblings from a thankful heart...

I've given up on taking a picture per day in 2011, but it served the purpose of making me look more intentionally of ways God works on a daily basis.

Today I saw God:

-in the hugs from 2 women who love God a whole lot

-the huge crew of people who showed up to help set up for Freshwater Coloma's service tomorrow

-a much needed two hour nap at my gracious and hospitable friend Faith's home

-a fundraiser dinner for Coloma Highschool's band

-being introduced to Andrew Peterson's heart for God shown through his music at his concert in Watervliet

-safety on the treacherous drive home w/ Michigan's latest "in like a lion" March snowfall

*a highlight of the evening was the message in Andrew's song entitled, "World Traveler"

"World traveler

Pack your bags and dig down deep

Let's ride the storms and sail the seas

To the distant pole

I'm a wolrd traveler

Into these uncharted lands

To blaze a trail in the vast expanse

Of the heart and soul

In the the grace of the God of peace

Let's wade into the battle

Come on, come on with me

And get up in that saddle

There's a million mysteries

I never will unravel

Come on, let's travel the world"

I'm also thankful tonight for my Lord Jesus Christ, the Author of my Salvation and the Lover of my soul. For my family that loves so unconditionally. For this journey on earth which God is using to show Himself ever bigger and make me love Him and people even more.
