My life is full of unbelievable signs, coincidences and just plain out-of-nowhere blessings – so much so, that I’ve almost lost sight of just how amazing this type of communication with God really is. I talk to God all throughout the day (literally: asking Him what He feels like doing, comparing different things that are going on in my life with stuff that’s happened in the Bible (I think it’s important we don’t just always talk about me, so I try to talk about His friends too and think about everything He has going on), I actually say things in my head like, “Hey look! Look! That’s what I was telling you about earlier!” when stuff happens…). It might not be the most conventional of relationships, but I really feel like God’s my friend – just as real as someone I’d pick up the phone and call.

I think God totally has a sense of humor!
I have had one of those weeks too – where I just kept getting hit by one thing after another. On Friday I was supposed to leave for my half marathon in Amelia Island & I got a flat tire…which was just the icing on the cake from the week I had. I actually started laughing and told my boyfriend to forget about it until we got back from our race.
My mom always said to make it through life you need a backbone, a funny bone and a wish bone. I think she’s totally right – every survival kit should include a sense of humor. :)
I hope next week is better for you (& me too)!
@ Ashley: Aww! Sorry about your tire! Sounds like you had a good sense of humor about it though :) And I love what your mom said! Here’s hoping we both have a better week! :)
This brings to mind a book called “When God Winks at You” by Squire Rushnell. It’s about experiences that must be more than coincidences. Scripture says the Lord laughs at the wicked (Psalm 37:13). Jesus is our friend. Friends usually share some pretty good laughs right? I think God has a sense of humor, but it’s sort of a mysterious thing to us.
@ Tiffany: I heard of that book! I wasn’t familiar with Psalm 37:13 – thanks! :) I agree: God def has a sense of humor.. It’s just a little more on the mysterious side ;)
