No, don't get exicted, it didn't really rain here in Cen-Texas, but it did last week one day. I was at lunch and when I came outside, surprise, it had rained. Then Suzie called me and told me that when she came out of class and saw the clouds, she said a little prayer and asked God to make it rain. Right away it started pouring down!! Do I think that it wasn't going to rain and then when she asked for it, suddenly the weather changed? Of course not - if that worked, then we wouldn't be in such a record drought. But I wonder who put it into the head of my non-church attending daughter to pray just then, and to ask right at that moment for rain? Could it have been God, saying 'Look here, look here, here I am!!'?

Divine Hide-n-Seek Game
It's been a really rough summer for me, and at times I've felt like God has just taken a time-out, or gone on vacation, or somehow is not really paying attention to what's going on in my life and the lives of people near and dear to me. Yet in the middle of this mess, a very dear friend who has even more reason than I to feel abandoned, has taught me that even in the deepest pits of despair you can still find evidence of God's presence with you and around you if you just look for it.
I'm going to look upon this as a game of Hide-n-Seek with God. He wants us to seek Him, so whenever and wherever I do find Him, I'm going to start recording it here in hopes that in those dark times I can read back over this and remember that He is always there, just sometimes He hides better than other times. (or maybe sometimes I don't seek as well as at other times.) Maybe this will provide encouragement to other people to join in the game of Hide-n-Seek, and share their discoveries as well.
