Recently I posted on Facebook that that day it wasn’t my daughters who were done and over this homeschooling, working from home thing, it was me. That day they had both gotten up, gotten dressed and set to work with focus and determination because they wanted to be free to play and knew work had to come first. There was a huge outpouring of love and support from family and friends in reaction to that post. One in particular caught my eye and my heart. She said she hoped I got a God wink that day.

It caught my heart because I was instantly convicted that maybe He had already winked and I was so grumpy and feeling so sorry for myself that I missed it. Indeed of course He had! I mean did you read what I said about the girls that day! That is NOT typical for us, especially for my oldest who just doesn’t value school or the character growth that comes from doing things she doesn’t want to do (I mean how many of us really do). But, God winked again when a different friend brought Sonic lunch to our door to “help us through the rainy, yucky day”.

Since that day I have been more observant, and as a consequence have caught more of God’s winks. He winked at me yesterday when my workout for the day in my 30 Day Make Fat Cry Challenge was a Yoga flow (I had 0 energy or motivation). He winked at me when my healthier food choices this week finally gave way to some added energy today. He’s winked multiple times this week with beautiful sunrises on my morning walks that I’ve started to get some alone time and exercise during this change in our personal world. I am grateful for my friend’s response, not because it made God wink more, but because it made me more aware of it. He REALLY does care about the little things, that’s why we don’t have to sweat them. If you feel alone and like no one sees you or cares about you, HE does! If you don’t know Him, just ask Him to show Himself to you, He will. Feel free to send me a comment if I can help you get to know Him! He’s TRULY the friend that sticks closer than a brother!
