 The funny thing about God is that He is always there.  Part of my human experience is needing or wanting proof of that presence.  For a long time it seemed as though God was around but only at certain times.  Could it be because I only wanted God around at certain times?  I’ve read that God does not make too hard of times to those who seek him. My job is to believe that God is always there because what I have found is that He is.  The deal is that I cannot confine God to only what I imagine Him to be.  God shows up in so many different ways.  I often say Him because that is a primary experience of God for me but God is not simply He.  That would be a human constraint of God.  God is spirit, breath, nature, She, patience, a feeling of contentment, something that randomly makes me smile, the bumper sticker on the back of the car when I am stuck in traffic, the homeless person whose eyes I look into when coming off the freeway, the warm touch of a friend when I am crying, the tender hug of my nephew, the sparkle in the eyes of my beloved, the policeman who comes by to see if I am okay when I am pulled off to the side of the road, and so many more ways.  I can be assured of God’s presence in my life because it is happening all around me.  When I let go of how I think or want God to show up, I see God.  I often experience God in music and years ago Michelle Branch wrote a song called “Everywhere” which I think speaks of God: ” ‘Cause you’re everywhere to me . And when I close my eyes it’s you I see. You’re everything I know That makes me believe I’m not alone”.  How are you assured of God’s presence in your life?  My prayer is that you may experience God and know you are not alone today in a way you never imagined.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
