Yesterday God freed up some time in my day and so I was able to spend a few hours getting quiet with Him. I found a quiet place down in the claremont colleges and sat there listening to my music and writing in my journal.
THINGS HE SHOWED ME--1. i need to find a way to allow my brain to shutdown and rest. 2. I needed to see Him in everything...even the little things.
HOW HE SHOWED ME!! After spending sometime under the tree I got up and started on a little walk...suddenly my attention was drawn to this huge butterfly. Probably one of the biggest I have seen. It was sort of dancing for me. I couldn't take my eyes of it and it seemed to be following me. Every-time I would start to think about all the things I need to do the butterfly would reappear and grab my attention again. This went on for longer then can be explained by a random coincidence.
You might not believe this but I met a friend for lunch and the butterfly came to visit me there too and then after lunch when I was walking back to my car...yes--the butterfly once again danced for me!!!
God wanted my attention and He used this beautiful creation of His to fight for my attention. It took a while for me to wrap my mind around this but once I allowed it to sink in I was amazed at the way God used the butterfly to allow my mind to rest and to reveal himself to me...
God your unfailing love is so beautiful and I hope I am constantly reminded of your love through the little things!
