There's God!

The other day I was cooking (and by cooking I mean putting a Stouffer's in the oven), when I heard the sweet, sing-songy voice of my daughter in her room...

"There's God!"

"There He is!"

"He's RIGHT HERE!"

"That's God!"

I peeked into the doorway and saw her wonky-pigtailed head buried in the pages of a children's book titled, "Do You See Me, God?"  She was pointing to anything and everything in the book - the little kids, the animals, the parents, the sunshine - and she, with 100% certainty, was proclaiming that He was everything in the book... that He is everything and He is everywhere.

And in this tiny, heart-stopping moment I realized that while I have been struggling with finding God in the darkness, He's always been right here.

I won't lie and say that I don't still have questions, that I'm not still confused, that I'm not still struggling with understanding why we're having to walk this difficult road.

But it was my two-year-old who finally convinced me that He's RIGHT HERE.
