Have you ever had a moment when you realized that all the little things added up to that one really big thing? Or all the little moments added up to that big moment? Maybe it was the all-nighters you pulled during high school to get into college. Or maybe it was nights out you skipped, to get up early and workout.
God loves to use those little moments of gratitude and obedience to make big changes in our lives, and in our hearts. Maybe because you were at the gym one morning at 6 am, you'll meet someone who will change your life. Or maybe you skip a big football game and head to church...and for the first time, in a long time...God meets you there.
"Extraordinary moves of God begin with ordinary acts of obedience."
- Steven Furtick
There are game-changing moments, people, and events in this life, but it's the 5 a.m. alarm to the 10 p.m. bedtime that get us to the people, the bold moves, and the wins that make all the collective moments worth it. I need to remember this every day, because it never really gets easier, does it?
In September, I started taking a picture every day: just daily routines, obedient moments, simple things, and some memories along the way.
