Then he was told, "Go, stand on the mountain at attention before God. God will pass by." A hurricane wind ripped through the mountains and shattered the rocks before God, but God wasn't to be found in the wind; after the wind an earthquake, but God wasn't in the earthquake; and after the earthquake fire, but God wasn't in the fire; and after the fire a gentle and quiet whisper.
-1 Kings 19:11-12

"I grew up on a farm. We learned that there was a season to plant, a season to water, and a season to harvest. The plating and watering could be laborious, but without those stages, there would never be a harvest"
-John Wooden, UCLA coaching legend.

God has always acted in the stillness and quietness of my life.

Moments when I least expected it...
Moments when I least deserved it...

Yet God has always been faithful. I have known this to be inexplicably true in my life.

Why then am I so surprised to hear God's still small voice...
Why then do I choose to doubt His timing...

These things I will never know...

These things I will never understand...

However what I will forever be thankful for is that God continues to meet me.

Meet me exactly where I am...
Meet me when I have nothing to show...

He extends His hand in grace and peace lightly laughing and smiling saying...

"You still don't understand...I love you. Nothing can take that way. It's not yours to earn, it's not yours to buy, it's mine to give and I choose to give it freely. You are my child. Fearfully and wonderfully made. I knew you before the beginning of time. Trust and know that you will never be outside of my grace...never outside of my peace. I love you"
