Day 15—Ordinary Days (Thank God!)

Seems like forever since I’ve journaled. I’m way behind on my daily “Surprise Me, God” writings.

Here’s a confession—I don’t see a “surprise” everyday from God. That’s probably not a surprise to you because I’m thinking that you experience the same thing. Yeah... I see God working most every day. It’s not that. It’s just that some days are just ordinary days. Actually, most days are ordinary days. I think I’d get burned out if I didn’t have some ordinary days just to cruise. Like yesterday—I got exhausted just thinking of having to “look for God,” for any “surprises.” I just wanted to BE—not have some goal in mind when it comes to God. Maybe that’s partly what’s behind the verse, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). It’s a reminder to me that God doesn’t necessarily “show up” in out-of-the-ordinary ways.
