Welcome! I’m glad you stopped by. This is my very first blog post. For the past eight years, I have been co-director of Vacation Bible School at my church. We choose to use Group Publishing each year because we love their themes. They are tons of fun and tied very closely to the Bible. The kids (and adults), get to sing and dance, create art, have a snack and learn more about God. They really should create VBS for adults; but that’s a post for later.
Although the theme changes every year, Group always includes a “Watch for God” part of their curriculum. The kids get a little rubber bracelet to remind them to watch for God all around them when the leave for the day and come back the next day ready to share what they saw. Then we create a “God Sightings Wall,” where they post all that they saw. Children are amazing in their ability to see God in what we would consider the mundane, but Jesus did say that we would need the faith of a child to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Over the past couple of years, I have taken up the challenge to “Watch for God,” in my own life and as I looked for him, I began to see him more and more in the everyday. At some point, I began to write it down, not knowing exactly what I would do with it. Then, I began to feel a little nudge to share.
The little nudge got stronger. I often pray for what I call megaphone moments where God says in a booming voice from a burning bush, “Go and do this…” Let’s face it; those are usually rare, but after several nights of tossing and turning, thinking about a blog and sharing the God Sightings in my life, I figured out how to create a site and here I am.
I hope my sightings will inspire you to “Watch for God” in your life and I hope you will share your God Sightings with me. Have an awesome day. 🙂
Wendy
