So I have learned a lot of really cool things lately, and one of those things is that God puts little, VERY simple things in our lives to get us to notice the big things. But I've learned that you need to be open to seeing these things for what they really are, or they just become annoying and irritating to you. Some of the things that I have learned to look forward to everyday are things I never would have thought I would even notice. Every morning on my way to work I see the same guy walking up or down the big hill near my house! It's nothing much really but every time I see him I smile and thank God for him and his consistency is what he does. Also one I get to work I see the same 2-3 ppl walk by in the morning and then later that day again walk by once more. Never have I talked to these ppl but I find myself thanking God for them, and the simplicity of them just walking. It's near also because its made me think....this man who walks every morning never misses a day, I have yet to drive by and not see him somewhere! He is very consistent and beats a challenge every morning to get up early and go walking, he could very easily say "no I'm to tired this morning, I'll walk later tonight" but never does he. God's really teaching mw that I need to be like this man, be consistent in ALL that I do. Reading the Word, praying, talking, walking with Him. And He has allowed me to do this by giving me things, things that could drive me insane, things that could get soo annoying, but I've let Him in fully and He's helped me find the simple lessons that teach me the biggest things! So guys open your eyes, look for things that normally drive you crazy, things you never seemed to notice, find simple things and thank God for them and then ask Him if there is a lesson to be learned through it all!
