When I look for God, 
    I notice the ways other people have experienced God’s communication.  

I hear others share about the miracles in their lives.  
But since those miracles have happened to me, 
                I can doubt that God is with me. 

I read about pillars of fire in the Hebrew Scriptures, 
    and the disciples on fire in the Christian Scriptures. 
But if those experiences haven’t happened to me, 
                I can continue to doubt.  

What I forget to notice is that 
        God connected with each of these people in a brand new way.  
        It was a unique experience just for them. 

So for me, 
    it probably will be unique too.  

Now I’m watching within my own life and needs 
    for God to create a special way to connect with me.  

Sometimes it can be spectacular.  
Most times, 
    God works within everyday experiences.
    
But even then, I find God to be wildly creative with me.

I am one of God’s Creation Zones.   

I just need to pay attention, 
        give up control, 
        and remember that Creation isn’t over.

It’s one of god’s favorite things to do.
