How Has God Shown Himself in Your Life Today? Share Your "God's Clues"!

As I go through my life, I seek out reminders of God. Like fingerprints on a sliding glass door, I look for evidence that He's there.  Reassurance of His purpose for my life, that I'm following His will, or just a daily affirmation.    I like to call them "God's Clues".   Kind of like Blue's Clues, only better.

Yesterday, I was out in the backyard feeding the ducks.  Ducks visit me on a daily basis starting in the spring.  I've always loved nature and have a soft spot in my heart for animals.  Judging from the number of mallards I have managed to attract this year (4 sets!) I think they've instituted some type of "hobo code", advertising that my house offers "Good Eats, Safe House"not unlike the chalk markings on fence posts used by train-hopping hobos in the 1930s.

As I was feeding them, I was lost in thought, fretting about what many of us fret about...finances.  All of a sudden, I had a moment of clarity.   God spoke directly to my heart, "See these ducks?  They don't worry about money, mortgages, or even their life's purpose.  Yet, I take care of them." And then he reminded me how much more precious to Him I was.  With that, my worries, along with my duck food, disappeared.  

Some days I have to look harder than others, but I always, always find God's Clues.

What's The Best Christian Blog of 2013? The Commit Manual by Stack Goings!

     I am always on the lookout for good, credible Christian blogs.  Blogs that I go to again and again to fill me spiritually.  One of the best Christian blogs of 2013 has got to be The Commit Manual by Stack Goings.  I mentioned this blog last year and for the 2nd year in a row I rate it as The Best Blog, again!  It just keeps getting better and better.  This thought-provoking blog offers a fresh perspective for Christian parents like me but also has some relevant advice for today's adolescents and young adults, which is great for my teenagers.
     I have one son in middle school and two daughters in high school.  My oldest daughter, who is currently researching colleges was considering attending a Christian college.  I just happened to be reading Stack's blog considering the question whether Christian colleges do a disservice to Christian youth.  Are they creating disciples for Jesus Christ?  Are they going against what the Bible teaches about being a good steward?  It really made me think.
