Seeing the Good in all Things

This is my attempt to post on my blog more often. I want to try and reflect on my days, to see the good in all things. God has blessed me in so many ways, and so often it is easy to get bogged down and miss the positive things that have happened. The rays of sunshine in my day today?

-On Saturday Amanda and I went to one of her boy's pizza restaurants that his parents own. This kid is pretty much one of the cutest little Taiwanese boys on the face of the planet. He was so excited to see us there but was really shy and tried to hide in the kitchen. He did show us the pizza boxes he put together though, including trying to pull one out in the middle of the giant stack! Anyways, today when he saw me he got really excited and was saying my name and waving really big. I went over and asked him what his favorite part of his Thanksgiving weekend was, and he responded with, "When you and Miss Metzler came to my restaurant!" Wow. I love that my presence can mean so much to a little second grader who is not even my student. If only I was that excited about spending time with God every day.

-Bible Study. We talked about God's timing and how so often we want to wait upon the event rather than waiting upon the Lord. I was reminded that I need to wait upon Him and He will show me in HIS perfect timing what is best for me. I love good reminders like that!

May you feel His presence today!
