Lately, I have been thinking about how cool it would be to go to Israel and walk in Jesus' steps. To walk in the very places Jesus walked with his disciples. I am not much for world traveling- like I have never left the US so the thought of going that far away from home is a bit overwhelming. But none the less that is where my thought have been.
In the midst of these thoughts, I have been looking for those God moments in my life that are unexpected times when God shows up and reveals himself to us. I had one a while back on plane heading to Chicago. Maybe I blogged about it, I don't remember. But we will review anyway... So I get in the plane it is raining and as we take off and get higher and higher. The next thing I notice is that we are through the clouds and I am looking at a blanket of clouds below me and I am looking at Sun. And tears started streaming down my face. And the words to How Great is Our God came to my mind " the splendor of the King, robed in majesty..." See it was raining below me but here I was seeing that the Sun was still shining. God meet me on the plane in that moment. It was amazing.
Yesterday, I was headed to a meeting and for some reason I was thinking about going to Israel -which had nothing to do with my meeting- and again God revealed himself to me. As I took each step toward the door of that building, God was saying to me, "Gina, this might not be the actual steps that my son took, but none the less you are right now walking in my steps. You are walking in the steps of Jesus." I was overwhelmed. My eyes began to tear up and I was humbled before the Lord. Sometimes we forget that each day we are walking examples of Christ. Called to be Christ like in all we do. To show others Christ by our actions.
We or I have far too often put God in a box and not looked for those unexpected God moments. Now, I not only look for them but I crave them. I desire them. I want the unexpected God moments to  move  me to a place where I can truly worship my King! Where I can become the Woman he called me to be. He has confirmed and been faithful to me, now I give him me- wholly completly to be used for His k
