Happy 2010!
I love a new year. I love that God gives us fresh starts, clean slates, second chances, new mercies, new possibilities and new opportunities to watch for Him in our world! I’m excited to see what God has planned for this new year.
Every day, in small little seemingly insignificant ways and in big obvious miracles, God is at work all around us. Jesus walked this planet touching people, speaking the truth, healing the sick, feeding the poor, freeing captives. And He taught us to do the same and more!
So, my desire is to be more aware of what Jesus is doing in my life, the lives of those around me, and in the world. It’s so easy to get discouraged and disheartened about what it happening around us. It’s easy to get caught up in the work-a-day world, the stress and trouble of this world, that we miss the fact that God is working. John 5:17 says, “Jesus said to them, ‘My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.’” There are lots of amazing, great, wonderful, inspiring and encouraging things happening all around us, if we just take a moment to watch for them!
I’m going to be watching closely for God at His work and want to share that with you to encourage you that God is working! I hope you’ll join me in “Watching for God!” and share your positive stories of where you see God at work!
Watching for God,

I love this Janet! I too need to be more watchful. It’s so easy to get caught up in the daily grind and lose sight of God at work. This reminds me of the time that Isaac asked me why God doesn’t do miracles anymore. He was thinking about Jonah and the whale at the time. I had to explain to him that God performs miracles every day, all around us! Somedays we might have to look a little harder than others, but miracles abound. We, too, must remember that God never rests, He is always at work.
Keep writing! I look forward to following and joining you in this journey!
Faithfully watching,
Rachel
