Today's Travel asks us to tell about our "Best Day", or one of our best days. In the course of my life I have had many "best" days (wedding, births-although I wasn't feeling my best physically on those days, the day I came to Christ-although I was a little young to really grasp all that my decision really meant...) My "best" day today is going to be about a moment with God... I don't ever want to come off as super spiritual, but the more I travel this road with God, I truly see that He really is the best thing I could ever experience here on earth. All the other things are great, but nothing this earth offers ever satisfies the deepest part of me.This best day happened (I think) the first year we had moved from Florida. Mind you I had never moved before in my life, and I really expected to be a total mess emotionally. I believe that it was a super natural work of God that kept me in tact emotionally the first year I had moved from my childhood home. OK, enough background...here is my day.
In my walk with Christ I often want to feel God's presence with me... I know He is always with me, but sometimes I long to actually "FEEL" His presence close to me. I was in the kitchen of our 950 square foot rental home, and I think I was doing the dishes. I was looking out the window and just thinking, and then I felt like all the sudden God was with me, not just knowing that in my head, but actually just feeling He was so close to me in the kitchen that day. I felt like He was thinking of me, and that He was concerned about where I was... If I remember right (I always say if, and I think because my memory is so bad at times) my initial reaction was that I felt humbled that the God of the Universe was with me in my kitchen...
One of my biggest struggles (outside of food and fear :) is that I was/am a person that can be puffed up with Pride, and that day I didn't really feel proud, but humbled. I got all teary eyed and cried a little, but what sweet moments passed as I realized that God was with me and that He cared about and loved me :)
I wish I could bottle moments like the one I had that day!!! God is good and loving... Don't ever forget it!!!!

Wow! Honestly this could be kind of a cheesy blog because everyone puts when they were married, births of their children, and salvation! (I'm not down playing those days) But yours was just amazing to read! Thank you for sharing that moment! It made me think differently about some amazing days. You truly blessed me today! Thank you!
Love ya, KK
P.S. You really don't have to post those pictures. It might be "deflating"!:)
beautiful.
thanks for sharing.
This was awesome.
GREAT post!
Friend, What a great post! I love that! I love how God meets us when we are at the end of ourselves. I love how He meets us when we are afraid, and I KNOW He is with us in the good times as well, but too often we are enjoying our own pleasure too much to even acknowledge Him. He is good! He is faithful! Trying to rest in that is such a battle. I think of the Casting Crown song, "I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard". Aren't we just like that too many times. I think God wants us to experience moments like that way more than we do - but we can't "Try" to get them, we need to just "Be" - (Or just "be" washing dishes): )
I love ya lots!!!!!!!!!
