Any ride with Jesus is a wild ride! And I love it! He knows me inside and out; better than anyone ever will. He knows my thoughts, my heart, my soul. He knows what I love, what I hate, what makes me excited! I've found that He hides little treasures in every day life for me to discover (because He also knows I LOVE to discover and I love anything adventurous)! He knows how to get me going. (: He knows how to make me smile. I am convinced that He plans every day to surprise me with something special! I've been keeping a journal about it. It may sound soooo ridiculous and silly, and you might say that all of these things are purely a coincidence. But I don't think so!
I keep a thing called a "dream list". Things to check off. God knows my dream list, let's just say that! (;
One thing on my dream list is to go fishing on a boat, out on the water. Well, for my birthday a friend of mine took me out on his boat and I got to do just that! Fishing on the water: Check!
Another thing, not on my check list but I love; when people think of me when I'm not with them, and they show it somehow. I've had a friend make me a mixed CD of our favorite songs (sooo sweet), my dad brought me my favorite coffee drink just because, and a good friend called me out of the blue and we talked for hours! Little things that make me heart soar: Check!
Another thing: The color orange is my absolute FAVORITE color. This will sound silly, I promise; but literally, every time I see something orange (no matter what it is) it makes me SO happy. Like I said earlier, I've been keeping a journal on this stuff, and I've seen at least 1 orange thing every day during work. Whether it's been a car, a watch someone is wearing, a scarf, shoes, whatever it is. Every day, at least 1 thing, if not several! God knows how to make me smile. (:
Or it could be my favorite song randomly coming on the radio, or when my iPod is on shuffle. Or it could be a friend posting a sweet note on my wall (you know, the EXACT thing I need to hear at that EXACT moment). Or it could be today; after I got my coffee drink and the lady hands my receipt to me and the balance left on my card is: $2.22! I love that number! (:
There are SO many more things I could list; those are only a few. Point is, God knows us. He knows how to help us appreciate every day life. He hides little treasures and little things for us to discover. He is always speaking, and He always has good plans for us. The ride is fun and sometimes wild! And I promise; if you look for Him you will find Him! Even if it's seeing Him in the color orange. (:
