day 21

I encountered God today when he encountered me. He broke off lies and filled me with identity. He told me He had been fervently pursuing me. He lavished his love upon me. It was truly an Encounter.

day 12

Yesterday God romanced me with his stars. I realized that every romantic moment spent with every guy in the world could not measure up to being romanced by the One who created the night sky, the most beautiful sunset, and the most delicate flower.

day 11

I encountered God today through the constant Joy laced throughout the Mexican culture

day 9

Today I realized that God is seen in nature...every day, everywhere. Therefore, I encounter him the moment I step outside, without fail.

day 8

Today I encountered God in the blanket of fog that He draped over the horizon of Evergreen trees this morning.

day 7

today i saw Jesus in my dad's vulnerability. he admitted to me that today he just didn't feel worthy of God's love. I reminded him of his royal identity in Christ..and took note of his amazing transparency that is so precious to his Beloved

day 6

Two times today we were completely lost, then some how ended up right where we were aiming for..I encountered God as I realized once again that he cares about the little things in life, such as leading us to sketchy thrift stores and Asian markets-just to bring peace to the potentially stressful situation of being completely lost.

day 5

Today I saw Jesus in Brooklyn Kramer's dancing in total abandonment. She heard the music and immediately jumped into the most sporadic, spastic movement I have ever seen, and didn't have a care in the world.

day 4

Today it was the spur of the moment "worship time" I had with Seth and Evie where I encountered Jesus. He whispered in my ear that despite the fact that we were fairly lacking in musical ability and song lyrics/chords...he saw our music as a precious and beautiful offering :)

day 3

God spoke to me today through my coworker Gloria. I begrudgingly went to work, praying i would make it through the day without any outbursts of tears..and he opened my eyes to see that she was hurting too-due to family issues. I saw him in his heart for her, that he let me experience a glimpse of.

day 2

Today I encountered God in the whispering of the wind blowing through the trees. I had to concentrate to hear it, as cars zoomed by in the background, and sometimes the sounds would blend together. However, if I focused hard enough, I heard the distinct whisper of the Lord moving throughout his creation.

day 1

Today, I encountered God in the scent of the forest that we drove through on our way to the lake. It was invigorating, rejuvenating, and pure.
