When I think of God, I feel so much wonder and amazement in my heart.  I get overwhelmed because there's no way for me to wrap my mind around the things He has made and how He keeps this universe in order.  Well, some would argue it's not in order...but at least the world is still spinning and we are alive.

There's a phenomenon in God's huge overwhelming-ness.  I feel like that overwhelming, huge "being" that I see God as, is not who He is...not entirely.  How can He not be entirely infinitely huge, when He is???

He's infinitely big but He can also be part of the smallest, most beautiful moments.  It's wonderful.

He made us to experience abundant life and embrace joy.  God is in the simple, small things.

The moments of relaxation, rest, happiness and excitement.  When we are overwhelmed, and think we don't know Him, we're forgetting who is putting their hand on our shoulder and smiling with us when we finish frosting that last yummy cupcake we just made for a friend.

Or when I finish a homework assignment, He's there smiling so proudly!

God is all about wrapping our arms around the ones we love.  He's all about feeling the wind in our faces on a sunny Sunday bike ride.

He wants us to stop sweating the small stuff.  Because face it, we're small!

But, our big God is so big that He can fit in our pocket and experience small joys with us along our path of life. Silly and wonderful to think about, isn't it?

So next time I take a sip of delicious coffee, or see a cute flower.  I want to remember to thank my big God for putting perfect little joys in my everyday, ordinary, but also extraordinary life!
