God shows up in the oddest places

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Sometimes we can find ourselves in some pretty weird stuff. Life has a way of turning without making sure we’ve got our belts buckled, and more times than not we feel like we’re hanging on for dear life with our bodies halfway out the window of the passenger seat while we scream for the ride to stop.

Of course, we all KNOW that God is in those places with us. We all read Psalm 139 and think about how nice it is that God is everywhere and that there is nowhere we can go that escapes His presence, but the truth is that every know and then we need a reminder that sets our hearts at ease and lets us rest in the reality that there is absolutely NOWHERE that His presence cannot find us. Even in places that we probably shouldn’t have gone. Need more proof? A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words…

Jesus is even where you shouldn't be

Yep, this was supper a couple nights ago. Apparently, hot dogs are quite stackable. Who knew?

About Me

Picture of Paul

It means the world to me that you're here. I write mostly to get out of my own head, and tend to focus on culture, faith, church hurt, and emotional and spiritual health.

I long to live an authentic life marked by faith, family, friendships, and joy. If what I write resonates with you and you choose to subscribe, I'd consider myself even more blessed. 😀
