Hiding in Plain Sight

"We may ignore, but we nowhere can evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always hard to penetrate. The real labour is to remember, to attend. In fact, to come awake. Still more, to remain awake."

C.S. Lewis, from Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer

The presence of God is all around me.

I see it in:

*The people all around me on the streets. They are His creation, living pointless lives, in desperate need of Him.

*The force of nature:burning sun, blowing wind, driving rain- POWER!

*Encouraging words and actions which lift my soul.

*Stillness- stop and listen!

*The lives of fellow believers

*My daily subsistance

No internet

This is just a quick note to let everyone know that I'm back in Odessa and everything is going well. I found an apartment and will be moving in tomorrow afternoon. The location is great- right in between the Huffmans(my team leaders) and the church. I'm so glad about that, because Kim and I really wanted to be able to walk together and now we'll only be a five minute walk from each other. I don't currently have internet and probably won't for a while. But I'd love to hear from you and will reply as soon as possible!
