He cares for even the smallest things

Many of you know, if you have been reading my blog, that I was disappointed that I would be missing Tawna's dance competition this morning. We had our major Easter egg outreach at the church and of course I couldn't be in two places at once. Last week I found out that she was going to have two other competitions in April and in May. That was great news and I felt like God answered my prayers.

However, today our outreach event was winding down and Erin had told me over the phone that Tawna's group hadn't performed yet. I hopped in the car with Austin and Hailey and took the 50 min drive to Toledo and as it turns out they didn't perform until 11:30AM. I was able to see both performances. God you are so good! How amazing is it that God even cares about the smallest desires in our life. I really believe that Tawna's team went later in the morning just so I could be there to see it. Thank you so much for caring for every part of my life God. You are awesome!

Everyday is a reminder to me that there is nothing left up to chance. Our lives are not lived based coincidences. There are no such things as accidents when it comes to Christ's work in us. I experience a Savior that cares for every part of my life; the good and the bad, the hard times and the easy times. He wants what is best for us even if that means helping us with things that may not be life changing but are meaningful to us in our small little ways. Then again maybe me being there for Tawna wasn't a small thing. When I showed up and Tawna saw me she said that all of her nerves left her. It meant so much to her for me to bet there. I am certain, because of God's work, that she will never forget this day that her dad showed up to her competition and cheered her on. Maybe it is a metaphor for how God does what he needs to, to always be there for the important things in our life. Then again everything in our life is important to God. I pray today that God's presence is an encouragement to you. I pray you discover Him in the big things in your life and I pray you see Him in the smaller "less important" instances of your life. His presence in the smaller things is greater proof to me that He does love me. Thanks God for today...you are truly awesome! Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor Oh by the way...Tawna's team took 2nd place!
