God is everywhere- from the Milky Way to raspberries!
At
the last More Than More we had an
awesomely brilliant mathematician share how incredibly amazing God is.
Now I cannot retell his story- too many numbers and big words for my
tired mind today. What I can tell you is God has designed everything
beautifully- especially numbers. And to listen to someone who
understands numbers so well describe how creative God is was just
fascinating. But as much as I loved hearing how numbers are everywhere
and connected to everything- just like God- the thing that got my
attention the most his adorable little baby girl watching her Daddy talk
in amazement. Now maybe it's because I'm a mom that I cannot take my
eyes of sweet little babies- but maybe it was because God was teaching
me something. (Funny part is my little munchkin is grabbing at the keys
as I type...pressing numbers... and my buttons. HA) See again I
cannot focus because I'm so distracted by how stinking cute a baby is.
But as her Daddy explained the amazingness of fibonacci numbers, the
Milky Way tasting like raspberries, and pineapples she stared at him in
awe. My guess was she was thinking " Wow my Dad knows everything- he's
so smart?!" Which got me thinking that I bet all little kids think
there dad knows everything (well up until a certain age- then dads are
clueless) Father knows best- right? Well truth is our dads do not know
everything but our Father in heaven does. He sees all, knows all,
creates all, He is everything. And in everything. Honestly look
around- you can see Him everywhere!! In numbers, words, nature, people,
friendships, tragedies, food, animals, jobs, emergencies, babies, just
EVERYTHING. My sweet little step daughter asked me the other day how
can God see everything at the same time. She couldn't quite place how
God could always be with her and see her, but also be with someone else
who is not with her. It was so sweet and well hard to explain to a 4
year old. So what I decided is God is simply complex. I do not have to
explain or know how He is so smart or why He made things the way He
did. I just have to trust Him and notice Him. Kind of like a little
baby girl and her Daddy- she has no idea how her Dad knows everything-
she just trusts him out of love. So I challenge you to notice God in
everyday life and trust him with your life. Simple but complex.
