Eight: Mundane Gifts

I've been challenged by my roommate to look at how God blesses me each day. Let's see...

Today:
• Constructive and hopeful job interview.
• Solidification of a new friendship.
• Connection with an old friend and the chance to hear about his current walk with God.
• Consumption of delicious crumb cake.

All of this may sound mundane, common, or even boring (though I doubt anyone could say crumb cake is boring)...but I have to learn how to live with God in the mundane and non-turbulent times of life if I really want to live with him when things get scary.

My good friend Emily told me tonight, "Life isn't a series of jumping from one emotional high to the next..." We have to live with God and trust him in times of inaction. It's amazing that what may seem like stagnancy to me, is actually God working out his plans in billions of others.
