D.C. (cont)

Okay so I wrote the last blog at about 5 p.m. eastern, prior to my attending the National Community Church’s service at Ebenezer Coffee House (corner of 2nd and F street, if you are ever in the area I suggest you check them out), www.theaterchurch.com. I went into the service primarily with it being a vehicle to connect with some old friends from college, which I did and it was wonderful (I love you Renee, Tracey and Missy, you are all great); however, God had a different plan for why I was there. The pastor spoke directly to what I had already been grappling with all day, just how small I am and in that smallness comes a huge miracle — the miracle of the ordinary.

He stated that there are so many daily task such as brushing our teeth, reading the newspaper, eating breakfast (all before our day begins) without ever realizing the miracles that occur for this to even take place. He gave a general and brief synopsis about the functionality of the human brain and the complex firing of neurons and communication with various cortexes that allow all that I listed earlier to occur. It blew my mind that I had never stopped to realize the beauty and minute detail that God instilled in our creation. The pastor’s exposition brought me to a greater revelation as to just how small I am and yet I am perfectly and wonderfully made by the hand of a big God! I love my God and I am thankful that inspite of failures, insecurities and all too often ignorant human nature I am still a creature in the hands of a loving creator! It is way too easy to forget this, I must remember to keep this at the forefront of my frontal lobe!
