But Do you See it?
Beauty — all around us there is breathtaking moments that are gorgeous reminders of a faithful God, but how often are you missing it? For me, I know I tend to miss it often. I overlook, over complicate, over fill my schedule, overdo it… I miss it way more than I want to admit.
Maybe you find yourself in a similar place. Life may just feel so overcrowded that you can’t even see the beauty and blessing because it’s so overwhelmingly full. I don’t think this struggle is unique or new for humanity. It’s been a challenge all throughout the story of humanity.
There’s many times in scripture where Jesus asks His disciples something like, “do you still not understand?” We can be rather quick to judge them, not understanding how in the world they still weren’t getting it when Jesus was quite literally RIGHT THERE, in flesh, revealing Himself. But again, if we’re honest, we do the exact same thing.
We are so rushed, so hurried, so busy, that we miss what God is up to right before our eyes... In our lives and in the lives of those we love.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to miss it! I don’t want to live my life at a pace so hurried that I don’t see how God is moving in my midst. Because friend, He is moving! All around us, in us, through us… we just don’t always slow down long enough to realize it.
So here’s my encouragement to you today, slow down long enough to enjoy the life God has given you. There’s good in it if you’ll slow down long enough to experience it. Don’t just let life keep happening to you, live at a pace that allows you to truly, authentically, live and enjoy life. It’s the greatest gift.
May God bless and keep you,
Carrington B
