Inspiration in mowing the lawn

So I was mowing the lawn Monday and God showed me some things.

There's an area that got really thick and I knew there were some creepy-crawly's in there.  The only thing is I couldn't see any of them.  I was worried there was a snake in there, and I know there were spiders and bugs and all sorts of... other things.

That's when God said "I'm that way too."

I was floored.  I had to stop the mower for a few minutes and gather my senses back.

Some of you know, Brandy and I have taken a big step of faith recently.  And I've worried, because sometimes it feels like God isn't there, or isn't doing anything.  Then I read these verses.

 Jeremiah 29:13-14You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

So even though it feels like we are in exile right now, we will find God!  He will bring us back!  He will restore our fortunes!

Praise be to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!  Praise Him forever!
