is that you, God?

my roomie informed that I have not blogged in quite awhile. the web does not lie. it has been over a month. attribute my absence to moving, working more, and traveling. but i am back!

I believe God is in the little things. and the big things. the undercurrent of my prayers of the last year or so is the persistent question, "are you fighting for me, God? are you really on my side? are you really for me? " In the last day, mayhaps God is trying to get a message through to me. the evidence in the last 24 hours:

- the YMCA has granted me and my roomie a sweet finanical deal - 40% off and reduced enrollment fee!
- the nice guy at the Y also let me have two weeks for free since we are signing up mid-month.
- my mechanic yesterday fixed a dent in my bumper for practically free. I didn't even ask him to do it.
- the Panera bread catering person went the extra mile to help me with a catering order.

I am surprised by kindness from people who I don't know and who may or may not be Christians. I know that I am not often this kind and I am a "professional Christian." God, I'm starting to get the message.
