The Sweet Spot

Sweet!  A word that conjures up delicious smells, growling bellies and wonderful memories of favorite dishes and the ones that make them.  Of course "SWEET!"  could also mean that one is celebrating a victory!  Or vocalizing that the gift received or recent event is very much to their liking!   Hearing or saying the word in this manner reminds me of a very good time in life.  Let me describe for you where this spot in my life has existed!

Depending on what personality you are the perfect spot may look slightly different but the end result is the same.  You wake up in a good mood, getting ready for the day goes smoothly and you are ahead of schedule.  You hear all the right songs, say all the right things, traffic is good, kids are happy as they begin their day.  The evening schedule is just as you like it and even the weather is cooperating.  Just when you can't think the day can get any better God surprises you with little epiphanies through out your day.  You have been obedient to begin your day with God and through out it offer prayers of praises and petitions up to Him on behalf of yourself and others.  This is just happening as part of who you are with no effort and in return you notice and see little things and big things that only God could show you!  For this reason they are all the sweeter and enrich your life in ways that you never would have imagined.

Imagine this happening in the midst of not so smooth days..maybe you don't even get to pray because you are woken early by a terminally ill kid. As you rush healthy kids off to begin their day, you run to one of multiple doctors appointments this week, alone with your child, with hope against hope that your husband can get out of work and show up so you don't have to hear all the information alone.  EVEN or should I say AMAZINGLY then God shows up BIG and little at all the right moments.  Why?  How?  I can only explain by saying when you pray for your brothers and sisters when they can't pray for themselves you stand in the gap of their relationship with God and enable these things to happen.

My Sweet Spot comes amongst turmoil and chaos with BIG and little joys when God showed up and all because of people like you!  I long to live in My Sweet Spot!  I thank God everyday that it is possible without gaining my hearts attention with the distraction of chaos.  Many of the following posts I will share are BIG and little moments where God met me.  Yes, tis Soooo SweEETT!!
