Crazy Things

Yesterday, before Young Life club started, a few of the leaders were talking. One of the leaders at ym school told us about this kid who I have known since I was a freshman, that  is a great guy t hang out with and talk to, but I never thought I would once see him at Young Life. Mez told us all that he thought th same way. He never thought the kid would show up, but sure enough, yesterday, that very same kid was at club. This sole event happening makes the question in my head come up... Why do we question what God can do?

God has shown Himself to us in many different ways this year, the only reason we don't see Him is because we're probably not looking. I know that i have been very guilty of not looking for God in the things that I do, or in the places I go. He's there though. I heard this song when I was on the way to homeocming with my date. The song is called "I Saw God Today" by George Strait. The lyrics that I heard that really stood out to me weree the first few lnes of the chorus which goes like this:
I've been to church
I've read the book
I know He's there
I just don't look
Near as often as I should"

That is just the first half of the chorus, but that is the part that took me in. How true is it of us, that we don't look for God as often as we should? Well, in this particular event, it didn't take a lot of looking to know that God must have been behind this kid getting there. I know that if the kid enjoyed himself, he'd be back. Sadly, I haven't seen him today, so I haven't gotten the chance to talk to him about it, but I will probably see him tomorrow, so God-willing, I will definitely be talking to him.

I think one thing that we can do is that we should really try to look for God in every single day that we live. I know that I am definitely not looking for God in everything that I do, but I really should. I wanna be able to go out, and say that I am lookinjg for God in everyhting that I do. I wanna be able to see God in a whole new way, in every aspect of my life.

I think that if we really looked for God in everything that we do, we could really see a lot of growth in our spiritual life. When we start to look for God, we will find Him, an when that happens He will show us the things tha He wants to teach us through whatever we are doing at that very point in time.

One of the things that God has shown me recently is that just because we aren't struggling, doesn't mean we're not growing, and also just because we're struggling, does not mean we are not growing. It is something that really makes much more sense than you think. When you struggle with something physically, you come out better than you came in. Therefore, you grew. With your spiritual struggles, it is the same way. You can grow the most when you actually struggle with things like sin. The Lord uses our struggles to make us better.

Hope y'all have a good day
